Lee started his qualifying heat race from the rear of the field and worked his way up to finish in third place in the eight lap event. For the 30 lap feature, Lee would have to start deep in the field due to his wins in the previous two races. He fired from the outside of row seven in the 14th starting position and patiently worked his way towards the front of the field. As the race hit the halfway point, Gill was inside the top ten, and continued to move forward. The first and only caution of the race occurred on lap 25, and Gill was running in the ninth position. On the ensuing restart had quickly moved up to seventh and gained one more spot over the final laps to score a sixth place finish.
“We were just a little bit off tonight, compared to the last couple weeks”, says Gill after the race. “We will continue to work hard, and hopefully next week we can be a little better and get up there and challenge for the win”.
This coming Saturday night, Gill will return to Brockville Speedway looking to get back to victory lane. In five events so far this season, Gill has yet to finish outside the top six, and the fantastic start to the season has him on the top of the leaderboard at Brockville Speedway by 23 points.
