the lead about three quarters into the first

and set the pace,” said McGill. Brian

for McGill to make a mistake. McGill was looking
good, but fell back to second in the third lap

to spin out. McGill tried to remount a charge,
but was unable to take back the lead and would
finish in the number two spot, allowing him

Podium finish of the season & currently
holds the 3rd spot in points |
“I was able to make up some valuable
points, but for me the final three rounds are
going to be checkers or wreckers,” said
McGill, who is determined to dethrone Borich.
Can-Am/Warnert Racing’s Chris Bithell
was in fourth, but was under pressure from Taylor
Kiser for most of the first lap. Bithell would
eventually fall back to fifth. Bithell did not
give up however and was able to charge his way
into the number three spot and join his teammate
