High-Octane Victory at NHRA Regional: Cleetus and Cars Dominance

In a thrilling showcase of speed and skill, Bartone Bros. Racing’s Sean Bellemeur emerged victorious at the recent Cleetus and Cars event held at Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park. Competing in the Top Alcohol Funny Car class, Bellemeur’s achievement comes in the wake of challenging conditions, including a lower nitro percentage.

Yet he managed to deliver an impressive performance that extended the team’s success in the racing circuit. During the final showdown with competitor Chris Foster, Bellemeur demonstrated his remarkable racing abilities.

He started strong with a 0.065 reaction time, completing the race in just 5.52 seconds while reaching a blistering speed of 264 mph. This win marked the team’s third Wally trophy within a week, a significant accomplishment in the competitive world of drag racing.

The excitement of the finals was heightened by unexpected events. After executing his burnout, Bellemeur faced a mechanical hiccup when his car shifted into neutral rather than reverse.

It was a moment requiring quick action, and the Bartone Bros. Racing crew, led by key member Nick Stoms, responded swiftly to resolve the issue. This teamwork allowed Bellemeur to return to the race without losing valuable time.

Reflecting on the day, Bellemeur expressed his appreciation, stating, “This was a full team win,” highlighting the crucial role of communication and teamwork in their success. He made it clear that the entire Bartone Bros. Racing squad played a key role in this victory.

He credited crew members like Troy Green, Justin Taylor, Garrett Bateman, and Lauren McMaster for their essential contributions. The win was more than just a personal achievement for Bellemeur, as it showcased the team’s resilience and dedication to success in every aspect.

The team’s success would not have been possible without the support from their sponsors, which include Red Line Synthetic Oil, Roger Dean Chevrolet, and NGK Spark Plugs. Bellemeur emphasized the importance of having strong backing, stating that it significantly impacts the team’s performance on the track.

As the season unfolds, fans of Bartone Bros. Racing can expect even more excitement and updates. The passion and determination displayed by the team continue to fuel their drive for further victories.

This latest performance not only adds to their legacy but also enhances the excitement and enthusiasm surrounding the sport of drag racing. The road ahead looks bright for Bellemeur and his team as they aim for more success on the racing circuit.
