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.
