Kevin Belmont (born February 7, 1964) is an American former professionalstock car racing driver and crew chief who has previously competed in theARCA Re/Max Series. He is the younger brother of formerNASCAR and ARCA driverAndy Belmont.
In 2000, Belmont made his debut in theARCA Bondo/Mar-Hyde Series, driving the No. 1Ford for brotherAndy atWinchester Speedway, where he finished 25th after starting 32nd and last. He then entered in the following race at theIllinois State Fairgrounds dirt track, but would ultimately fail to qualify.
In 2001, Belmont ran every race besides the season opening race atDaytona International Speedway, driving a combination of entries fromAndy Belmont Racing,Joe Cooksey, andML Motorsports. He went on to finish eleventh in the final points standings with a best finish of tenth atMemphis Motorsports Park, driving for ABR. It was also during this year that Belmont served as a crew chief for Andy in the No. 1Ford, 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 withJames Hylton Motorsports, driving the No. 48Ford.[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. 38Pontiac for ABR atAtlanta Motor Speedway, where he finished 28th due to a crash caused by a broken rear end while running twelfth,[2] and for Mark Mancinelli atLowe'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 atKentucky Speedway, driving the No. 14Ford for ABR, where he finished three laps down in 22nd after starting 28th.[3] He then finished 30th at the next race atToledo Speedway, where he was the last car running on track.[4] Belmont then finished 21st in the next two races atPocono Raceway andMichigan Speedway, before finishing sixteenth atMansfield Motorsports Park despite starting 29th.[5] The Mansfield race would be his final race that year, as he was replaced byKory 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 forMullins Racing.[7][8]
Belmont is the uncle ofAndrew andKyle Belmont, who have also competed in ARCA competition.[9]
