Lee Gill Maintains Brockville Speedway Point Lead Despite Disappointing 7th Place Finish on Saturday Night; One Month Remaining in 2013 Season

Going into last Saturday at Brockville Speedway, Lee Gill carried a 17 point advantage in the battle for his fifth career Brockville track championship. He knew it wasn’t going to be easy, with his closest competitor winning the past three races. Gill was up to the challenge, and to add to that challenge was the uncharacteristic track conditions due to the visiting Sprint Cars.

Gill finished third in his preliminary qualifying heat race, advancing from his fifth place starting position. In the 30 lap main event, he started from deep in the field, and battled to a seventh place finish on a track that was very tough to pass on.

“It was really tough out there tonight”, says Gill after the feature. “The sprint cars here really put quite a bit of rubber down on the track, and it made it really tough to pass”.

This coming Saturday night, Lee Gill will return to Brockville Ontario Speedway looking to continue his impressive streak of top ten finishes at the track, dating back to the start of last season. Gill will be looking for his 3rd win of the year, and will be trying to add to his current 17 point lead in the battle for the 2013 Brockville Ontario Speedway Modified Track Championship.

Going into last Saturday night’s events at Brockville Speedway, Lee Gill held a 24 point advantage in the chase for the 2013 BOS 358 Modified Division championship. He was hoping to keep his strong season going, and put some more distance between himself and second place. Lee also leads the Ogilvie’s Auto Triple Crown Series point standings by four points after two of the three scheduled races.

Like most nights, Gill started the night off with the preliminary qualifying heat races, and after starting from the fifth position, he advanced to third by the end of the eight-lap race. He started the 30 lap feature from the 13th position, and struggled early in the race. He finally made it inside the top ten on lap 13 and continued to make some progress as he climbed to eighth place as they hit lap 20. After avoiding a wreck, and passing a couple more cars, he soon advanced to the top five after just two more laps, and continued a late race charge to the front, crossing the finish line with a solid third place run.

“We really struggled early in the race, but we were able to fight back towards the end of the race and salvage a good finish”, says Gill. “It will be really important to continue these consistent finishes throughout the rest of the season to stay at the top of the point standings”.

This coming Saturday night, Lee Gill will return to Brockville Ontario Speedway looking to continue his impressive streak of top ten finishes at the track, dating back to the start of last season. Gill will be aiming for his third win of the season, as he tries to increase his 17 point advantage.

Like the previous Ogilvie’s Auto Triple Crown Series, heat race lineups were determined by a timed hot lap session to start the night. Gill was the second fastest car in his group, and maintained that second place finish throughout his qualifying heat race, securing the sixth starting spot for the 50 lap main event. The first yellow of the race came on lap five, and Gill had already climbed to the fourth position. Gill maintained a top five position through the first half of the race, and was running in fourth place when the final caution of the race occurred on lap 43. On the restart, Gill quickly moved to third place, and battled his way to second over the final lap.

“The car was pretty good early on, but started to really come to life late in the race”, says Gill after the 50 lap main event. “We were hoping to get back to victory lane, but we will take this second place finish”.

Lee Gill will return to Brockville Speedway this coming Saturday night. He will enter the evening with a 24 point advantage in the chase for the coveted Brockville Speedway title.
