This past week, Gill began the night with a third place finish in his qualifying heat race after starting from the rear of the field. In the 30 lap main event, Gill started from the 13th starting spot, and struggled early in the event, maintaining that same position through the opening 20 laps. Over the final 10 circuits, Gill was able to advance to ninth place.
“It certainly was not the finish we had wanted tonight, and we gave up a few points, but we are confident that we will finish strong next week”, says Gill after the race. “This one is over, so we will move on to next week and hopefully we can have a solid night and win the championship”.
Lee Gill was not the only member of the Gill family on the track this week. Lee’s son Rylee debuted in the Rookie Sportsman class the previous week, and has already won his first feature event, taking the win at Can Am Motorsports Park on Friday night. He won his heat race at Brockville and finished sixth in the main event.
This coming Saturday night, Lee Gill will return to Brockville Ontario Speedway looking to claim his fifth Brockville Speedway track title. In addition to the regular weekly championship, the first ever Ogilvie’s Triple Crown Series championship is also on the line with a 50 lap main event to decide everything set for Saturday night.
