The 2012 season has been a
year of consistency for Lee Gill in his return to 358 Modified racing at
Brockville Speedway. While just seven
weeks into the 2012 season going into last weekend, Gill had finished in the
top ten every week but one, and that was when a mechanical issue sent him home
before the night even began. Despite
missing a race though, Gill has climbed back inside the top five in points, and
continues to look impressive with each passing week.
After a slow start to the
night with a fifth place finish in his qualifying heat, Gill returned to the
pit area to make some adjustment to his 2012 Troyer before the 30 lap main
event. Starting from 11th,
Gill had some work to do to get to the front, but he was confident that the
changes they made to the car would help.
Just six laps in though, Gill’s car pushed up the track and over the
banking in turn two and he would have to restart from the rear. He battled back though, moving inside the
top ten by lap 11, and continuing to work his way forward. With a restart on lap 29, Gill was up to
seventh and advanced to sixth before completing the final lap.
“We are still consistent
week in and week out here, but we still are a little off from where we want to
be”, says Gill. “We will continue to
work at it, and hopefully the wins will come soon. I really have to thank the guys on the crew for all their help on
the car here at the track, and at the shop”.
This coming week, Gill will
be back at Brockville on Saturday night for a regular racing program, plus a 10
lap Dash for Cash. Please help Lee in
the Dash for Cash by going to the Brockville Speedway website, brockvillespeedway.com
and voting for Lee in the poll on the left.
The more votes we get, the better the starting position for the $500 to
win dash. Gill is eligible for the dash
by being a current member of the BOS Five Star Modified program, as he sits
fifth in points in the competitive Modified division.
