Greg Belyea Starts 2013 Season at Brighton Speedway With a 6th Place Finish

Saturday was a perfect day for racing as Brighton Speedway opened their doors for the 2013 season. Greg Belyea and his Excel Tower Racing team were on hand, looking to get the year started off strong. Before the races got underway, Brighton Speedway competitors participated in the annual parade of champions in downtown Brighton, before making their way to the track.

The evening started well for Belyea, after his wife Shari picked the number one spot in the pre-race draw for heat race starting positions. Belyea took advantage of that, and led the entire distance to take home the heat race win. Belyea started the feature from the front row as well, leading the initial seven laps of the race. When the dust settled, Belyea crossed the finish line with a sixth place result.

“The new clay that was laid down here at Brighton Speedway over the off-season is tighter than what was there before, and the track was really fast”, commented Belyea after the race. “We over adjusted the car after the heat race, but overall it was a decent run to start the season. We will work on it over the week, and will be better when we get back here next Saturday”.

Belyea will be back at Brighton Speedway this coming Saturday night for round two of the 2013 season. If time allows, Belyea also hopes to get to Can Am Motorsports Park on Friday night.
