LOVES PARK, Ill. (Saturday, May 29th, 2010) – Jerry Gille has a thing for close shaves, whether it be on the track or in the points standings, and a night of 3-D racing excitement at the Rockford Speedway saw another one as the venerable veteran made a buttery smooth last lap pass to edge Tim Sargent at the checkers. Gille collected his second consecutive Stanley Steemer NASCAR Late Models feature victory and continued his charge for a third consecutive championship, laying down a blistering fast lap in the twilight and running out front throughout the duration of the evening, narrowing his points gap amidst a fitting backdrop of Memorial Day weekend fireworks.
