The month of June did not
start out well for Lee Gill after a pretty successful May had him solidly in
the top five in points. Last week, a
mechanical issue developed before the car even hit the track, and Gill was
forced to load the car, and head for home before the night even got
started. He was hoping for a much
better night on Saturday and get back on track.
The night started out well
for Gill, as he started fourth in his eight lap qualifier, and was in the lead
by lap three and drove to the win.
After making some adjustments to the car, Gill was ready for the 30 lap
main event. He started on the outside
of row four in eighth place, and quickly moved forward. By lap ten he was into third, and would
maintain that spot through the remaining 20 laps to score his best finish of
the season.
“We are getting closer to
where we want to be each week”, says Gill.
“We still have some work to do yet, but we are working hard, and
hopefully we will get back to victory lane here soon”.
This coming Saturday night,
Gill will be back at Brockville looking to build on his early season momentum,
and get back to victory lane at the BOS.
After five events in 2012, Gill is currently ninth in track points,
despite missing last week’s race with mechanical issues.
“Hopefully the problems we
had last week are behind us, and we can climb our way back into contention over
the course of the season”, adds Gill.
