After
picking up his first win of the 2012 season last Saturday night at Brockville
Speedway, Lee Gill was looking forward to getting back to the BOS again this
week, as he climbs back into championship contention.
The
night started with the usual qualifying heats, and Lee started sixth in his
heat and moved up to second place.
After making some minor adjustments on the car before the 30 lap
feature, Lee was ready to hit the track from his 15th place starting
position. Gill avoided disaster early
as several cars got together on the opening lap. When the race resumed, Gill was starting to move up through the
field. Just four laps into the race he was inside the top ten, and continued to
carve his way through the pack. He made
it up to fifth on lap nine before getting caught up in a multi car incident the
next lap. After re-starting from the
rear of the field, Gill continued to show that he had a strong car, and by lap
17 he was back inside the top ten. The
second half of the race was good for Gill, as he was one of the fastest cars on
the track. With just five laps
remaining he was in the top five, and continued to move up through the final
laps to finish with a solid second place finish.
“It
was a great finish considering we were in that wreck on lap 10”, says Gill
after the race. “We have been running
really well lately on this dry slick track, and hopefully we can continue that
over the next few weeks. This Troyer
car really seems to like the slick conditions”.
This
coming Saturday night Gill will be back in action at the Brockville Ontario
Speedway. In just 10 starts so far this
season, Lee has placed in the top ten each night. He has seven top five finishes, and one feature win.
