Fowl Mood Racing Gets Back to Victory Lane After Impressive Performance at Brighton Speedway on Saturday Night


It took them a few races to get their new Rocket Chassis dialed in, but Phil Potts and the Fowl Mood Racing team are firing on all cylinders now, posting their second win in three weeks at their home town Brighton Speedway.  The team also made the trip to Mohawk International Raceway on Friday night for the Go Nuclear Late Model Series.

On Friday night, the Fowl Mood Racing team made the three-hour trip to Hogansburg, New York for the first race in the 2012 Go Nuclear Challenge Late Model Series.  As the team was getting ready for the night’s racing action, the skies began to darken, and soon after heavy rain began to fall, and then hail.  The 15 minute storm delayed the events for over two hours, and just as the track was getting packed in, and about 20 minutes away from starting, a second shower saturated the track, forcing track officials to cancel the night’s racing events.

“It is a disappointing that we got rained out after making the long drive here.  I was really looking forward to racing at this place”, says Potts.  “We will be back on July 6th for the rescheduled race, and again later in the year”.

On Brighton Speedway on Saturday, Potts was back home at Brighton Speedway.  After finishing second in his qualifier, Potts was confident that his new Rocket Chassis would be fast for the 30 lap main event.  Potts would start on the outside of row four in eighth place to start the race, and quickly moved forward.  He would go on to take the win, posting his second victory of 2012, and second in just three weeks.  The win moves Potts up to second in track points.

This coming week, Potts will be back in action at Brighton Speedway on Saturday night, looking for another win.  The following week, Potts will have his big motor in the car, as they battle with the World of Outlaws at Autodrome Granby on Friday, June 22nd, and Cornwall Speedway on Sunday, June 24th.  On the Saturday night between the two World of Outlaw dates, the team will return home, and prepare for a dash for cash at Brighton Speedway featuring Late Model stars Chubb Frank and Rick Eckert, as well as Potts, and other Brighton Speedway regulars.

“We are really looking forward to racing with the Outlaws next week”, says Potts.  It will be a lot of fun racing with Chubb Frank here at Brighton as well.  He is one of the biggest names in Late Model racing and it will be great for everyone to have him here at our track”.

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.
