Lee Gill’s Third Place Finish Helps Solidify His Quest For Fifth Brockville Speedway Championship; Two Weeks Remaining in Regular Season

Entering the evening with a 22 point advantage in the point standings at Brockville Speedway, Lee Gill was looking to continue his consistency and pad his point lead with just three races remaining in the battle for the track BOS championship.

After a fourth place finish in his qualifying heat race, Gill hit the track for the 30 lap main event from the 12th starting position. By lap six, Gill had survived a couple early caution periods, and was up to sixth place. By the time they reached the half way point of the race, Gill was up to fourth place and continued to move forward. A caution on lap 19 slowed the field and Lee would restart from the second position. Over the final 11 laps, he slipped to third, but more importantly, he added some valuable points to his lead with just two weeks remaining in the championship battle.

“It was a good points night for us”, says Gill. At this point, we are looking at the big picture. The wins would be nice, but the consistent finishes are what we need for the track title”.

Lee Gill’s son Rylee also made his Sportsman debut this weekend, racing at both Can Am Motorsports Park and Brockville Speedway this weekend. He finished third in the Novice Sportsman at Can Am, and sixth at Brockville in their Rookie Sportsman division.

This coming Saturday night, Lee Gill will return to Brockville Ontario Speedway looking to continue his strong season. Gill will be looking for his 3rd win of the year, and will be trying to add to his current 28 point lead in the battle for the 2013 Brockville Ontario Speedway Modified Track Championship.
