Greg Belyea Returns to Victory Lane at Can Am Motorsports Park on Friday Night; Top Ten Finish at Brighton Speedway on Saturday Night

It was another busy weekend for Greg Belyea and his Excel Tower Racing team as they made their way to Chapman’s Can Am Motorsports Park on Friday night before returning home for Brighton Speedway’s events on Saturday night.

At Can Am, Belyea started the feature from the third starting spot and quickly jumped out to the lead. He was able to pull away to a comfortable lead as the cars behind him battled for second. Greg crossed the line in first place, picking up his second consecutive Can Am Motorsports Park victory.

At Brighton Speedway, Belyea entered the night with wins in two of his last three starts, and was hoping to pick up another win on Saturday night. He started fourth in his qualifying heat race, and maintained that position through to the finish. He reported to the pit area for some adjustments before getting ready for the feature. Starting from 12th place, Belyea was aware that it was going to be tough, but he was looking forward to the challenge. By the halfway point he was up to seventh place, but fell back to ninth as the handling started to dissipate over the final few laps.

“We had a good start to the weekend at Can AM, but just can’t seem to get consistent finishes here at Brighton”, says Belyea after the race on Saturday night at Brighton Speedway. “We will continue to work hard and get this car figured out”.

Belyea will return to Brighton Speedway again this coming Saturday night, looking to get back to victory lane once again and narrow the deficit between himself and the top five in the point standings. There is plenty of racing left before the end of the season and Belyea hopes to post more wins and solid finishes and climb back into the top five.

Greg Belyea Gets Second Brighton Speedway Win of 2013 on Saturday Night

Much like the 2012 season, Greg Belyea and his Excel Tower Racing team have turned the corner and have been having some great success in the second half of the season after a slow start to the year. He has posted wins the past two weekends, claiming a win at Brighton just two weeks earlier, and a win last weekend at Can Am Motorsports Park. Belyea returned to action this week at Brighton Speedway looking to add to his season win totals.

Belyea started the night with a win in his qualifier, advancing from his fourth place starting spot. In the main event, Greg grabbed the lead on lap two and never looked back, picking up his second win of the season in dominating fashion, with second place finishing a full straightaway behind him. The win moves Belyea to seventh in the Brighton Speedway Late Model point standings.

“It feels great to get back to victory lane again this week”, says Belyea after the race. “I really have to thank my wife Shari and the rest of my family, as well as the guys working on the car. I also have to thank the fans for coming out and supporting what we do each week”.

Belyea will be back at Brighton Speedway again this coming Saturday night, looking to get back to victory lane once again and narrow the deficit between himself and the top five in the point standings. There is plenty of racing left before the end of the season and Belyea hopes to post more wins and solid finishes and climb back into the top five.

Greg Belyea Gets Back to Victory Lane With Impressive Win at Can Am Motorsports Park; Disappointing 13th Place Finish at Brighton Speedway

After getting his first win of the 2013 season last weekend at Brighton Speedway, Belyea was hoping to continue that success again this past weekend. Belyea made the trip to Can Am Motorsports Park on Friday night, before returning back home and getting the car ready for Brighton Speedway on Saturday night.

At Can Am on Friday night, Belyea started the feature from inside of row two in the third starting spot. At the drop of the green flag he quickly moved forward and picked up the lead. As the race progressed, he stretched his lead and crossed the finish line with his second consecutive victory and first at Can Am Motorsports Park since June of 2011.

Brighton Speedway was up next on Belyea’s schedule, and after winning last week, he was hopeful that they had finally turned the corner, and would have a strong second half to the season. The night started off well as he moved from his fifth place starting spot in his qualifying heat race to take the win. He started 12th in the main event, but the car just did not respond like it did last week, and he struggled to a disappointing 13th place finish.

This coming weekend, Belyea will be back at Brighton Speedway on Saturday night. He is currently eighth place in the point standings for the Late Model division.

Greg Belyea Brings Home First Win of the Season at Brighton Speedway as Excel Tower Toy Drive Brings Over 300 Toys and $250 in Donations

The 2013 season certainly hasn’t gone as expected for Greg Belyea and the Excel Tower Service race team. Belyea has struggled since the beginning of the season, and has been working hard trying to get their program turned around.

Belyea started the night with a win in his qualifying heat race, and started the main event from the fourth starting spot. He quickly moved into the lead, and withstood a couple of challenges to score his first win of the season. Much like the 2012 season, Belyea got his first win mid season, and once he did, he started on a roll that consisted of five feature wins over a nine race period that nearly put him back into championship contention.

“We have worked hard getting this car sorted out, and it definitely helped having Chub (Frank) up here driving the car and helping with the setup”, says Belyea. “Hopefully we can continue to have some success over the second half of the season. I also want the thank my wife Shari for all her support as well as the fans and drivers that helped contribute toys and donations to our Excel Tower Service Toy Drive tonight”.

Greg Belyea and the Excel Tower Service team will be back in action again this Saturday night at Brighton Speedway as Belyea looks to make it two wins in a row and move up from his current eighth place position in track points.
