Gill started his preliminary qualifying heat race from the fourth position and quickly diced his way to the front of the pack, he took the lead on lap five of the eight lap race, and never looked back. After the heat race, Gill and his team tweaked the set up of the car to keep up with the changing track conditions that occur throughout the evening. He started the 30 lap main event from the 10th position. By lap six, Gill had climbed up to sixth place, and quickly moved forward from there, moving to second just a few laps later. After a fantastic battle for the top spot, Gill took the lead for good just as they approached the halfway point of the race, and went on to collect his first win of the season.
“We really had a great car tonight”, says Gill. “We have had a really good start to the season, so hopefully we can keep it going. It will be a long season, and a tough grind between now and September but so far everything has gone pretty well for us”.
The win puts Gill at the top of the point standings after three events at Brockville, and he also has the distinction of being the only BOS regular to finish in the top 10 in every start dating back to the beginning of last season.
This coming Saturday night, Gill will return to Brockville Speedway for the first round in the Ogilvie’s Auto Triple Crown Series. It will be the first of three 50 lap events in the series with the second coming on July 6th and the series finale at the BOS on August 31st.
