Greg Belyea Gets Seventh Place Finish at Brighton Speedway on Saturday

After picking up his second win of the season last weekend at Brighton, Greg Belyea was looking forward to getting back to the track this week and attempting to go back to back in Brighton Speedway’s competitive Late Model division.

Belyea began the night at Brighton Speedway with a third place run in his qualifying heat race after starting fifth.  In the 30 lap main event, he started from 10^th, and was moving forward early.  He made it up to third place before cutting a tire, and would have to restart the race from the rear of the field after a quick pit stop for a new tire.  Belyea moved forward, and would end the race with a seventh place finish.

“We had a better car then seventh, but we had that flat tire, and that sent us back to the back.  I am not sure what it was, but there must have been something on the track as three of us were running on the outside of the track, and we all got flat tires”.

Belyea remains fourth place in track points at Brighton, only 195 points out of the lead.  He will be back at Brighton Speedway this coming Saturday night, hoping for another Brighton Speedway victory.

The next major event on the schedule for Greg Belyea and the Excel Tower Service team will come at Brighton Speedway on September 8^th as part of the Great Crate Race paying $5000 to win.  The next race for the Excel Sprint Car will come at Brighton on Saturday, August 4^th.

Greg Belyea Wins Again at Brighton Speedway; 2011 Champion Gaining Momentum After Slow Start to Season

The 2012 racing season did not start out the way Greg Belyea and the Excel Tower Racing team had hoped, but the team has been picking up momentum, and have now won 2 of the last three events at Brighton Speedway, and have moved to fourth in the battle for the coveted Brighton Late Model championship.  Belyea was the 2011 winner, and is determined to get back into contention over the final two months of the season.

Belyea was at Brighton Speedway on Saturday night with his Late Model, and the Excel Tower Racing team Sprint Car was also in attendance with driver Charlie Sandercock behind the wheel.  Belyea won his qualifying heat after starting sixth, giving the team some confidence going into the 30 lap feature.  He rolled off the starting grid from outside of the fourth row in position number eight, and quickly moved forward.  Belyea picked up his second win of 2012, both coming over the last three races. 

“The car has really been working well for us the last few weeks”, says Belyea.  “We have been working hard here on our program trying to be more competitive then we were at the start of the year and that hard working is starting to pay off”.

Charlie Sandercock also had a good night in the Excel Tower Service Sprint car.  He was back in the car at the Southern Ontario Sprints returned to Brighton Speedway.  Charlie won his qualifying heat race, and redrew the sixth starting spot in the A-main.  Although passing was at a premium, Sandercock did manage to move up to fourth place, posting his best finish in a very limited number of Sprint car races.
