Much
of the 2012 season has been a matter of Lee Gill catching up to the field after
missing a night due to a mechanical failure earlier this season. On the second last points night of the year,
Gill climbed to the top of the standing for the first time this season after
scoring his third win of the 2012 season.
Gill
began the night with a win in his qualifying heat race. He started the 30 lap main event from
outside of the third row in the sixth position and wasted very little time
getting to the front. By lap eight he
was in the lead and held off a couple early challenges to score his third win
of the 2012 season at Brockville Speedway.
“The
car was really good tonight”, says Gill.
“I really have to thank the crew for all the hard work they put in on
this car”, says Gill. “I want to thank
Peggy and the boys for all their support as well, and our sponsors and fans”.
Gill
had solidified his spot in second place in points after the win, but during
tech inspection, the current leader was disqualified, losing all points for the
night, giving the point lead to Gill by a mere eight points going into the
season finale.
This
Saturday night at the BOS is the last race of the 2012 regular season. The track will remain closed over the next
six weeks before reopening for the DIRTcar Northeast Fall Nationals on October
12th –14th. The
schedule for the next few weeks is up in the air at this time, so please check
