Racing career

In 2000, Belmont made his debut in the ARCA Bondo/Mar-Hyde Series, driving the No. 1 Ford for brother Andy at Winchester Speedway, where he finished 25th after starting 32nd and last. He then entered in the following race at the Illinois State Fairgrounds dirt track, but would ultimately fail to qualify.

In 2001, Belmont ran every race besides the season opening race at Daytona International Speedway, driving a combination of entries from Andy Belmont Racing, Joe Cooksey, and ML Motorsports. He went on to finish eleventh in the final points standings with a best finish of tenth at Memphis Motorsports Park, driving for ABR. It was also during this year that Belmont served as a crew chief for Andy in the No. 1 Ford, thus resulting in most of his entries being start-and-park entries where he ran in an ABR back-up car; he only had five finishes where he was running at the end of the race. In 2002, Belmont left ABR to run the full schedule with James Hylton Motorsports, driving the No. 48 Ford. [1] Across the year, he finished in the top-ten four times with a best finish of seventh at Springfield, and once again finished eleventh in the final points standings. In the following year, he only ran to races, driving the No. 38 Pontiac for ABR at Atlanta Motor Speedway, where he finished 28th due to a crash caused by a broken rear end while running twelfth, [2] and for Mark Mancinelli at Lowe's Motor Speedway, where he finished eighteenth.

After not making any starts for the next five year, Belmont made a return to the series in 2009 at Kentucky Speedway, driving the No. 14 Ford for ABR, where he finished three laps down in 22nd after starting 28th. [3] He then finished 30th at the next race at Toledo Speedway, where he was the last car running on track. [4] Belmont then finished 21st in the next two races at Pocono Raceway and Michigan Speedway, before finishing sixteenth at Mansfield Motorsports Park despite starting 29th. [5] The Mansfield race would be his final race that year, as he was replaced by Kory Rabenold for the remainder of the year, as well as his last race as a driver, as he has not competed since. [6]

After his driving career ended, Belmont has recently worked as a spotter for Mullins Racing. [7] [8]

Personal life

Belmont is the uncle of Andrew and Kyle Belmont, who have also competed in ARCA competition. [9]
