Lee Gill Grabs Top Five Finish on Opening Night at Brockville Speedway

After a long off-season, Lee Gill and his team were ready to get back on the track, and start the 2013 racing season. 2012 was a great year for Gill, coming ever so close to winning the Modified track championship at Brockville Speedway, and with a new season and a fresh start, the team hopes to contend for the title once again.

Gill returned to Brockville Speedway for opening night on Saturday, and started off with a fifth place finish in his qualifying heat race after starting from the rear of the field. Lee lined up on the outside of the ninth row in the 18th position to start the 30 lap main event and quickly moved forward. After avoiding multiple on track incidents in the first half of the race, he made his way inside the top ten by lap 12 and was up to fifth just two laps later. After climbing to as high as third place, Gill settled into fourth place in the closing laps, posting a strong finish to start the new season.

“We avoided some of the early wrecks that took place and were able to get a strong top five finish to start the season”, says Gill after the race. “We will work on the car over the next week and see if we can get it a little better when we return next Saturday”.

Lee Gill plans to race at Brockville weekly in 2013 and will be joined later in the year by his son Rylee Gill, who will run in the new Rookie Sportsman division. Lee Gill also plans to run select event at other tracks, to be determined at a later date.
