At Brighton Speedway on Saturday night, Belyea started the night with a strong win in his qualifying heat race after starting from the fourth position. In the 25 lap main event, Greg started from the front row and was confident that it would be a good night. At the drop of the green flag, he jumped out to the early lead, holding the top spot for the first eight laps. Over the next few laps, the handling on Belyea’s car began to go away, and he slid back to finish in 10th place.
Belyea, and eight other Brighton Speedway Late Models made the trip to Kawartha Speedway near Peterborough, Ontario on Sunday afternoon for the first time ever on the pavement. Kawartha hosted a 15 lap exhibition race for the Late Models, and Belyea started from the third position and quickly jumped out to the lead from the start. The only caution came on lap four, and Belyea picked up where he left off, going unchallenged for the remainder of the race.
“It was different, and a lot of fun”, says Belyea of the experience. “I will stick to the dirt track racing though, and hopefully we can get our car working good for next weekend”.
Belyea will be at Can Am Motorsports Park on Friday night and will return to Brighton Speedway on Saturday night looking to get back to victory lane and inch his way closer to a top five spot in the point standings.
