Lee Gill on a Roll as He Claims Second Consecutive Brockville Speedway Victory in 50 Lap Ogilvie’s Auto Triple Crown Series Race

After narrowly missing the 2012 Brockville Speedway track title, Lee Gill has made it clear that he is on a mission to claim the 2013 crown, posting back to back feature wins at Brockville Speedway. Slowed only by rain the previous week, Gill continues to sit at the top of the point standings and appears to be in the same championship form that he was in just over a decade ago when he posted four consecutive track titles.

Just before the rain hit last weekend, Gill set the second fastest time in his qualifying group. They picked up where they left off this past Saturday night, starting his preliminary heat race from the outside of the front row. He jumped out to the early lead and never looked back taking the heat race victory and earning a front row starting spot in the night’s 50 lap main event. Although he held the top spot throughout the race, Gill had a couple tense moments around lapped traffic but in the end it was Gill’s second consecutive victory lane appearance at Brockville Speedway.

“It was a tough night out there with all the rain we had the past couple days. A couple times tonight it had rained and I thought we were done for the night again”, says Gill after the race. “We have to go give Paul (Kirkland) a lot of credit for sticking with it and getting the show in for all the fans. I have to thank the crew for all of their hard work on the car”.

This coming Saturday night, Gill will return to Brockville Speedway looking to make it three in a row. In four events so far this season, Gill has yet to finish outside the top five, and the fantastic start to the season has him on the top of the leaderboard at Brockville Speedway by 20 points.
