After third generation driver Brandon Bellinger picked up his second career victory at Oswego Speedway this past Saturday night, there is no time better than now, at what is perhaps the peak of Brandon’s career, to take a closer look at the history of the Bellinger family at Oswego, a name that is going on eight decades old at the speedway.
For the 87th time in Oswego Speedway history and the second time in his career, a ‘Bellinger’ visited victory lane this past Saturday night at the ‘Steel Palace’ as third generation driver Brandon Bellinger took advantage of his outside pole starting spot to put the Daratt Farms Racing, Eddie Bellinger maintained iconic yellow No. 02 in the speedway’s victory lane.

Pathfinder Bank SBS veteran Mike Bruce has found himself caught in the middle of more bad luck this year than perhaps any other driver at the Oswego Speedway.
