Mohawk Raceway is a fantastic track located on the Akwesasne Mohawk Territory just east of Massena, New York. Gill last visited the track in 2011 in a Late Model and drove to a third place finish. Due to the track’s handicapping procedures, Gill would have to start from the rear of his qualifying heat race. He advanced his position to third place over the course of the 10 lap event. When the 25 lap feature started, Gill had lined up from the 12th starting spot, and quickly moved inside the top ten. As the race concluded, Gill crossed the finish line with a solid seventh place result.
“It wasn’t too bad out there tonight”, commented Gill after the race. “It has been so long since we have been here and we were a little bit off in our setup. We will take it and move on to Brockville tomorrow night”.
After rain delayed the start of the events at Brockville on Saturday night, the track had plenty of moisture in it, making it a very fast racetrack. Gill struggled early in the night and finished his qualifier in fifth place. The team regrouped and lined up for the 30 lap feature from the 12th position and patiently moved forward. With 10 laps complete he was up to seventh, and continued to battle for position on the way to his fifth top five finish in six events at Brockville Speedway this season.
Lee Gill will return to Brockville Speedway this coming Saturday night and will take a commanding 22 point advantage with him as they hit the track for the final time in the month of June.
