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

With the Great Crate Race on tap for this weekend after getting postponed earlier this month, Greg Belyea and the Excel Tower Service racing team are looking forward to this third annual event. Optimism is high going into this year’s race, as Belyea hopes to become the first Brighton Speedway regular to win the $5000 event that has total purse in excess of $20000.

With mixed results in the two previous Great Crate Race events, Belyea is hoping third time is a charm. Greg posted a second place finish in the inaugural race in 2011, but last years Great Crate 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 have some time off before ending the 2013 season at Brockville Speedway on October 20th as part of the 1000 Islands RV DIRTcar Northeast Fall Nationals. Both the Brighton race this weekend and the Brockville race next month are part of the Go Nuclear Late Model Series Excel Tower North Division.
