Lee Gill Gets First Win of 2012 at Brockville Speedway on Saturday Night

With top ten finishes in every start at Brockville Speedway so far this season, everyone anticipated that it would only be a matter of time before Lee Gill made it back to victory lane. Gill, who was last a weekly competitor at Brockville in 2003 where he had one for straight 358 Modified track titles proved everyone right, with a dominating performance at Brockville on Saturday night.

Gill started the 30 lap feature from eighth place, and moved up quickly after narrowly avoiding a first lap crash. By lap ten he was up to second and challenging for the race lead and took over the top spot just before the halfway point at lap 14. Gill went on to take the win in front of packed grandstand that welcomed the veteran driver back to Brockville Speedway’s victory lane.

“It feels good to get back to Brockville Speedway victory lane”, says Gill. “Its been a long time, but we always enjoyed racing here, and we look forward to running well throughout the remainder of the season. I really have to thank everyone that helps us out, and all the great racing fans that come out each week”.

Gill’s win puts him back into the top five in track points at Brockville Speedway, and only five points out of second place and 33 points out of first, despite missing one week due to mechanical issues.

“We still have some work to do to get back into the points here at Brockville, but there is still lots of racing left to do”, explains Gill. “We will do our best, and hopefully we can get a little closer over the final few weeks of the season”.

This coming week, Gill will return to the BOS looking for his second win in a row. It will be a daunting task, but the veteran Gill will certainly be up to the challenge.
