Jason Lee is shooting for three straight concession drivers' titles.
With just over a fortnight of racing left in season 2015-16 little separates two of Victoria’s gun young drivers in the battle for the Alabar Concession Drivers Premiership.
Terang's Jason Lee holds the slenderest of leads in his bid for three straight concession titles, one win ahead of Mark Pitt.
Pitt returns from a two-week suspension tomorrow and has three drives at Shepparton on Thursday for the strong Wayne Potter camp.
Lee has up to six drives at home track Terang on Wednesday night.
Lee has 104 wins from 532 drives this season, while Pitt has piloted 103 winners from 383 starts.
Josh Aiken is one win ahead of the injured Zac Phillips for the final concession drivers’ podium spot.
