Matt Billings Grabs Top Ten Finishes at Mohawk Raceway and Brockville

The 2012 season has been a strong year for Matt Billings and his Brockville, Ontario based Billings Motorsports team.  They have been consistent all season long, running in the top ten almost every night, and usually inside the top five.  They are in the top five in track points at both Mohawk International Raceway and Brockville Speedway, are a contender for the championships at both tracks.  They were back in action again this week at MIR and the BOS looking to climb even higher in the standings, and get back to victory lane.

The first race on the weekend schedule was the usual Friday night events at Mohawk International Raceway in Hogansburg, New York.  In his 10 lap qualifying heat race, Matt started from fourth place and finished with a strong second place run.  In the 25 lap main event, the entire race went caution free as Billings moved from his seventh place starting spot up to sixth place at the finish.

“It was tough with no cautions, as the field got spread out, and it we pretty much just held our own”, says Billings after the race.  “It wasn’t a bad finish, but would have liked to have been in the top five at least”.

The action moved backed to Billings’ hometown track on Saturday night.  He came from the rear of the field to finish third in his preliminary qualifier, and started the night’s 30 lap main event from outside of row six in the 12^th position.  Billings avoided disaster on an opening lap wreck, and avoided another crash on lap ten.  The second half of the race was a struggle, and he ended the night with a disappointing eighth place finish.

This coming week, Matt will be back at Mohawk International Raceway on Friday night, and on to Brockville Speedway on Saturday night.  Billings is in the top five at both tracks, with one win at each.  He will be looking for another this weekend.
