Greg Belyea Battles to an Impressive Second Place Finish in Third Annual Great Crate Race at Brighton Speedway on Saturday Night

This past weekend, Greg Belyea attended the final event of the season at his home track Brighton Speedway. It was the 3rd annual Great Crate Race, with a lot of prestige, as well as a $5000 winners share on the line. Belyea was looking to become the first Brighton Speedway regular to win this event.

The night started off with qualifying heat races, and Greg started from the front row. It was a struggle early and crossed the finish line in fourth place, just outside of a redraw position. In the 65 lap main event, Greg started from 15th and progressively worked his way forward. Belyea charged towards the front and would use the extreme high side of the Speedway to take the lead on lap 47 using lapped traffic to his advantage. He dropped back to second just a few laps later on lap 62 and remained there through the finish of the event. Chuck Meyers, the defending race winner was also back in an Excel Tower Service owned car for this event. He started the race in 13th place and finished in 7th.

“That was one of the most exciting races that I have been a part of in a long time”, explains Belyea after the race. “I really have to thank my wife Shari, Steve Blight, Rob Perry and everyone else that has helped us out this year with the Excel Tower Racing team”.

The next race on the schedule for Greg Belyea will come on Sunday, October 20th for the final race in the Go Nuclear Series Excel Tower North Division. This event will be part of the 1000 Islands RV DIRTcar Northeast Fall Nationals Weekend.
