Greg Belyea Looking for Strong Performance as 3rd Annual Great Crate Race Hits Brighton Speedway This Saturday Night

The 2013 racing season has had plenty of highs and lows for Greg Belyea and his Excel Tower Racing team. The year started out slow, but the team did rebound and has posted six feature wins over the second half of the season, including two wins at Brighton Speedway. Entering the final few weeks of the season, Belyea is looking for a strong finish, with some major evens coming up.

This coming Saturday night, Belyea will be at Brighton Speedway for the 3rd annual Great Crate Race. With mixed results in the two previous Great Crate Race events, Belyea is hoping third time is a charm with $5000 to win and a total purse in excess of $20000 up for grabs. Greg posted a second place finish in the inaugural event in 2011, but last years race ended in disappointment with an early exit out of the event. Last year’s race winner Chuck Meyers was piloting an Excel Tower Service car, which leaves Belyea with some added confidence going into the weekend.  He will also have Meyers back in an Excel Tower car once again this year looking to repeat as race winner, while Belyea himself will be piloting a car that has just returned from the race shop of Chub Frank.

“This is one of our biggest events of the season and I know a lot of us Late Model drivers here at Brighton are really looking forward to this”, says Belyea. “This will be the third season and we have yet to have a Brighton Speedway regular take the win. We know that we have a car capable of winning this race, we proved that last year, now we just need to have a strong performance, and a little luck”.

Following Saturday night’s event at Brighton Speedway, the team will then hit the road to Mohawk International Raceway for a pair of Go Nuclear Late Model Series races on Friday, September 13th and Saturday, September 14th. The 2013 season will conclude at Brighton Speedway on Saturday, September 21st as part of the annual Applefest Weekend. Brockville Speedway hosts the Go Nuclear Season finale on Sunday, October 20th.
