Lee Gill Scores Third Consecutive Top Five Finish at Brockville on Saturday Night; Continues to Lead Point Standings as Summer Heats Up

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. Saturday night will also be driver autograph night, giving race fans an opportunity to get up close to the cars and the drivers during the on track autograph session at intermission.
