Consistency is the key to
success for any championship caliber team, and Lee Gill Racing has been one of
the most consistent race teams all season long at Brockville Speedway, despite
this being his first season back in Modified since dominating at the BOS almost
a decade ago. Gill has finished every
race this season, except for one night when he had to pack up before the heat
races due to a mechanical failure.
This past week at
Brockville, Gill finished his qualifying heat race in fourth place, and the
team made some adjustments to the car before going out for the 30 lap main
event. He started the race from mid pack,
and as the race went on with no cautions through halfway, Lee had climbed to
sixth. Just four laps later, while
trying to pass for fifth, his car broke loose, causing him to spin in turn
three. He would have to restart the
race from the rear of the field, but rebounded to score his eighth consecutive
top ten finish at Brockville.
“It wasn’t the run we were
hoping to have here tonight”, but it could have been a lot worse”, says Gill
after the race. “We lost all our track
position with about 10 laps to go and really had to fight to get where we did
in the closing laps”.
Gill is currently in a
three-way tie for fourth place in points at Brockville so far this season. He is just 20 points out of second place,
but has some ground to make up with a 71 point deficit to the current leader.
Lee Gill will be back at
Brockville Speedway this coming Saturday night looking for his first win of the
2012 season. It will also be driver
autograph night, and Lee and his fellow drivers will sign autographs on the track
during intermission.
