Greg Belyea Has Busy Weekend With World of Outlaw Late Model and Go Nuclear Late Model Series Races; Chub Frank Wins at Mohawk Raceway in Excel Tower Service Late Model

This past week was a very busy and monumental week for Greg Belyea and the Excel Tower Service team. The weekend started at Brighton Speedway on Thursday night as Greg Belyea drove in the first annual Excel Tower 50 World of Outlaw Late Model Series race at Brighton Speedway in a car owned by Late Model legend Chub Frank. On Friday and Saturday night, Belyea returned the favor, putting the driver known as “Chubzilla” into an Excel Tower Service Crate Late Model for Go Nuclear Series races at Mohawk International Raceway and Brockville Speedway. Belyea returned to the cockpit of the Chub Frank car on Sunday night, concluding the very hectic weekend.

The planning for the Excel Tower 50 Late Model Race at Brighton Speedway was in the works for months and it finally came to fruition on Thursday night. 34 Late Models were on hand for the inaugural event. Greg qualified into the A-Main through the consolation race, and started deep in the 24 car field for the 50 lap main event. As the dust settled at the end of the night, Belyea crossed the finish line in 19th place.

“It is just a tough field of cars here with these Outlaw guys here. It really is exciting having them all here at our own track”, commented Belyea after the race. “I really enjoyed being a part of it, and I hope that everyone that came out had a great night”.

The action moved to Mohawk International Raceway in Hogansburg, New York on Friday night as Belyea and Chub Frank both competed in Excel Tower Service Late Models in the Go Nuclear Series race. The night started off great as both drivers took wins in their respective qualifying heat races. Chub started on the front row and dominated the entire event, scoring his first ever victory in the Go Nuclear Series. Belyea finished in seventh place.

The Go Nuclear Series resumed on Saturday night at Brockville Speedway and once again both Belyea and Chub Frank were on hand. For the second night in a row, Belyea won his qualifying heat race. Chub finished fourth in his qualifier, giving both drivers a qualifying spot into the main event. Chub battled his way towards the front of the field and challenged for the lead at times, but the car faded over the final few laps and he would finish in third place, just one spot ahead of Belyea.

The World of Outlaw Late Models were back in action at Cornwall Speedway on Sunday night. Belyea was back behind the wheel of Chub Frank Late Model, while Lee Ladouceur made his first ever Late Model start driving an Excel Tower Service car. Belyea once again qualified for the A-main and finished 17th, while Ladouceur had a fantastic maiden voyage, placing in 16th.

This coming weekend Belyea will be back at Brighton Speedway for their annual Canada Day Championship event. The next race in the Go Nuclear Excel Tower North Division Series will take place on Saturday, September 7th at Brighton Speedway for the 3rd Annual Great Crate Race.

Greg Belyea Looking Ahead to Busy Week of Racing; Struggling to Find Early Season Success at Brighton Speedway

The 2013 racing season hasn’t started off as well as Greg Belyea and his Excel Tower Service team had hoped. They have struggled early in the season, and despite a lot of hard work in the shop, they continue to have a hard time. Perhaps it’s the new clay surface at Brighton that race teams are having a hard time with, or the crazy weather patterns or a combination of the two, but one thing is certain and that is Belyea and the Excel Tower Service Late Model team will continue to work hard.

This past weekend, Belyea returned to Brighton Speedway after a week off due to the first rainout of the season the previous week. He started second in his qualifying heat race, and led the race the entire distance until the final lap, and had to settle for a second place finish. In the 35 lap feature, he started from the outside of the front row, and things were looking up, as he held the lead for the first ten laps of the race. He fell back to third and was holing his own until he jumped a very high cushion on the outside of the track, and fell back through the field. With five laps to go, Belyea pulled into the pits, ending another disappointing night at Brighton Speedway.

“Our car was way too tight from the center of the corner off, and it got worse as the race progressed”, says Belyea. “The track was in rough shape because of all this rain that we have been having, and it has caused issues for everyone. There was a lot of torn up equipment tonight, and we are happy that we were able to escape with minimal damage”.

This coming weekend will be the start of a very busy week for Belyea and the Excel Tower Racing team. They will be at Can Am Motorsports Park on Friday night, and Brighton Speedway on Saturday. Next week will see five straight nights of racing with Can Am Motorsports Park on Wednesday, and the much anticipated World of Outlaw Late Model Race at Brighton Speedway on Thursday with Belyea driving a Chub Frank owned Late Model in the Excel Tower 50. Friday night will be a Go Nuclear Late Model Series race at Mohawk International Raceway and again on Saturday night at Brockville and Chub Frank will be in an Excel Tower Service Crate Late Model, and then Belyea will return to the WoO Late Model at Cornwall Speedway on Sunday night.

Greg Belyea Gets Back on Track in 2013 With Solid Third Place Finish at Can Am Motorsports Park; Brighton Speedway Suffers First Rainout of the Season

In an effort to get his 2013 season back on track after struggling in the early part of the season, Greg Belyea diverted from the ordinary routine and made a rare start at Chapman’s Can Am Motorsports on Friday night before returning home to Brighton Speedway on Saturday night.

Having to start from the rear of the field in the Late Model main event due to the track handicapping for non regular competitors, Belyea knew it would be a good challenge for the team to make their way to the front. He moved forward at the drop of the green flag and was soon challenging for a top five position. At the checkered flag, Belyea crossed the finish line with a solid third place run.

“It was a good run for us tonight”, says Belyea after the race. “We brought the car home with a good finish and hopefully we can build on this throughout the season”.

After making some changes to the car and putting in the setup for Brighton Speedway, they were ready to return to their home track looking for another strong run. Just before race time though, rain began to fall and track officials were forced to cancel their racing program for the night.

Belyea will return to Brighton Speedway this coming Saturday night, but looking ahead, the month of June will be a very busy month for Belyea and the Excel Tower team. Wednesday June 19th they will be at Can Am Motorsports Park, followed by the highly anticipated World of Outlaw Late Model Excel Tower 50 at Brighton Speedway on Thursday, June 20th. Friday, June 21st is reserved as a raindate for the Brighton race. On Saturday, June 22nd the Late Models will be at Brockville Speedway for a Go Nuclear Late Model Series race, and back with the World of Outlaws on Sunday, June 23rd at Cornwall Motor Speedway.
