Biography

Competing in the highly competitive Trophy Truck Spec class, this 39-year-old Bonita, California native has established himself as a consistent contender in SCORE International's premier desert racing series. Behind the wheel of the No. 217 machine, Belt demonstrated his racing prowess during the 2023 season, securing a solid 15th place finish at the San Felipe 250 before encountering mechanical challenges at the Baja 500.

His best performance came early in the 2023 campaign at San Felipe, where he started 28th and methodically worked his way up the field to claim a respectable mid-pack finish in the 43-car Trophy Truck Spec field. The achievement showcased his ability to navigate the treacherous Baja peninsula terrain while maintaining consistent pace against some of desert racing's most accomplished drivers.

Currently ranked 24th in the Trophy Truck Spec championship standings with 153 points, Belt continues to refine his program and build toward future success. His dedication to the sport and steady improvement trajectory position him as a driver to watch in upcoming SCORE events, as he works to break into the top echelon of this ultra-competitive class that features some of the world's best desert racers.
