After a pair of top five finishes to start the 2012 season
at Brighton Speedway, Phil Potts and the Fowl Mood Racing team were looking
forward to getting back to the track, trying to get that first win of the year
and more importantly continue their consistency and battle for the Brighton
Speedway Late Model Championship.
The bad luck began just one lap from the checkered flag in
the qualifying race, as a flat tire sent Potts to the pit area. The team made some adjustments to the car to
prepare for the 30 lap main event, but on the very first lap, the driveshaft
broke, sending Potts back to the pits.
They did return to the track for the final eight laps with a very fast
car, but several laps down.
“We had a good car in the heat race, and then we got the
flat tire, and didn’t even get a chance to see how good we could have been in
the feature with the driveshaft issue”, says Potts. “It a pretty disappointing night, but that’s racing”.
This coming week, Potts will be at Can Am Motorsports Park
for a special Wednesday night event, and will be back at Brighton Speedway
looking to get back on track, and get back to their hometown victory lane.
“It is a tough field out there, with a lot of competitive
race teams in this division”, adds Potts.
We are going to keep working hard, and hopefully we can get our share of
wins, and battle for the championship as the season progresses”.
Fowl Mood Racing would not be possible without the support
of our sponsors. We would like to thank
Hutchinson Fuels, Indewey Excavating, Vanderlaan Building Supplies, Bill’s
Johns, Gord’s Water Service and Brighton Recycling Inc. for all their support,
and we look forward to a very exciting 2012 season.
