Greg Belyea Gets 5th Place Finish on Opening Night at Brighton Speedway; Earns Brighton Speedway Best Appearing Car Award

Wet and miserable weather has been the story of the year to date for Greg Belyea and his Excel Tower Racing team. They were rained out on consecutive weeks as they attempted to get the Atomic Spring Clash in at Mohawk Raceway, and they were rained out once again on the scheduled opening night at Brighton last week. Finally, this past Saturday, they were able to get the season started at their hometown track.

After a fourth place result in the qualifying heat race, Belyea returned to the track looking for a solid finish to start the year. He fired from the seventh starting position, and made his way into the top five just five laps into the 30 lap main event. Over the remaining distance, Belyea had advanced to fourth and was in the middle of a fantastic three way battle for third place in the late stages of the race. He would cross the finish line with a fifth place finish.

“It was a pretty good night for our team”, says Belyea after the race. “We got off to a bit of a slow start in qualifying, but we made some adjustments and it was quite a bit better in the feature”.

Belyea’s car was voted as Best Appearing Late Model by the fans of Brighton Speedway and he was recognized in front of the grandstand with his sharp looking Excel Tower Service sponsored car.
