Greg Belyea Gets Second Place Finish in Applefest Weekend Season Finale at Brighton Speedway; Go Nuclear Race at Brockville Speedway Coming up Next

The 2012 racing season at Brighton Speedway came to an end this past Saturday night as the track hosted their annual Applefest Weekend. Greg Belyea was looking to close out the year at his home track with a solid run, and possibly move up to second place in track points. The 2011 champion had a good second half of the season that included five feature wins over the final 11 races of the season.

Belyea began the night with a win in his qualifying heat race after starting from fifth position. When the Late Models hit the track for their feature, Belyea started from 13th place, and quickly proved that he had one of the fastest cars on the track. He steadily worked his way through the field, and was up to second in the closing laps. He would finish the race in second place, running out of laps as he continued chase down the leader. Belyea’s second place finish put him within 10 points of second place in track points, but would have to settle for third.

“We had a great car tonight, I think we just needed another lap or two and it may have been a different outcome”, says Belyea. “We ended the season here on a good note, and I am happy about that”.

The final race on the schedule for Greg Belyea will come at Brockville Speedway on Friday, October 12th as the Go Nuclear Late Model Challenge Series concludes for the 2012 season. Belyea is currently second place overall in series points after 4 of the 5 scheduled events and is just 47 points out of the lead.

Charlie Sandercock and the Excel Tower Racing Sprint Car will also be on the track during the 1000 Islands RV DIRTcar Fall Nationals Weekend at Brockville Speedway as they take to the track on Saturday, October 13th for a 360 Sprint Car Challenge event.
