TOLEDO OH (May 23) - Seventeen year old rookie Andrew Belmont piloted the James Hylton Motorsports Ford Fusion to a 19th place finish in the Menards 200 ARCA Racing Series event on Sunday.  Making only his fifth career start, the Mooresville NC driver drove a consistent race and avoided the accidents inherently associated with racing at the historic half-mile Ohio oval. 

The 200 lap event was captured by Texan Chris Buescher in the David Ragen Ford with Joey Coulter finishing .676 seconds behind.   As a result of his finish at Toledo, Belmont moved into 26th place in the 2010 ARCA Racing Series driver points standings.
