Fowl Mood Racing Finishes 2012 Season at Brighton With a Top Ten Finish During Applefest Weekend; Gets Second Overall in Season Championship

2012 was a solid year for Phil Potts and the Fowl Mood Racing team.  Although they came up just a little short of achieving their goal of winning the Brighton Speedway track championship, their season still was very productive, with four feature wins, 14 top five finishes and 18 top 10 finishes over their 25 race season. 

Like most season’s Applefest Weekend at Brighton Speedway marks the end of the season.  Potts was looking for a solid finish to secure second place overall in the points championship.  He started fifth in his qualifying heat race, and advanced to third.  In the 30 lap feature, Potts started from ninth place and struggled through most the event.  He would cross the finish line in 10^th place, just enough to secure second in points.

“This wasn’t how we wanted to end our season here at Brighton”, says Potts.  “We hoped to be up there contending for the win, but we were just a little bit off on our set up tonight”.

Although the season is over at Brighton, the Fowl Mood Racing team sill has one more event on their schedule.  They will travel to Brockville Speedway on Friday, October 12^th for the final race of the Go Nuclear Late Model Series.  This race will kick off the 1000 Islands RV DIRTcar Northeast Fall Nationals Weekend.  Potts is currently fourth in series points entering the final race.

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.

Fowl Mood Racing Gets Top Ten Finishes in Go Nuclear Challenge Series Weekend Events at Mohawk International Raceway

After finishing a disappointing 20^th in the Great Crate Race Go Nuclear Series event at Brighton Speedway last weekend, Phil Potts and the Fowl Mood Racing team were looking for better results as the Go Nuclear Late Model Series returned to Mohawk International Raceway for a pair of events scheduled for Friday and Saturday night.  Potts finished fourth at Mohawk Raceway back in the Series opener in July, and was hoping to build on that as they returned for race number three and four of the five race Series.

Potts didn’t get a chance to see much on track action on Friday night, as heavy rain began to fall just after the opening practice session.  A decision was made to postpone all of Friday’s events in Saturday afternoon, and then go into the already scheduled Saturday night show.  Saturday was a much better day, and Potts drove to a third place finish in his heat race, making the redraw for a top nine starting spot.  As luck would have it, Potts would draw the ninth starting spot for the first 30 lap feature.  The first race was a struggle for the Fowl Mood team, finishing in ninth place.

After a lengthy break, the Go Nuclear Late Models were back for another round.  After qualifying had been completed, Potts lined up for the 30 lap main event and battled to a sixth place finish.

“We were hoping to finish a little better then what we did, but we will take it and move on”, says Phil Potts after the race.  “The car was working better then it has the past couple weeks, so hopefully we are going in the right direction”.

After four of five events in the Go Nuclear Late Model Challenge Series, Phil Potts currently sits fourth in points.  The final race of the series will take place on Friday, October 12^th at Brockville Ontario Speedway as part of their 1000 Islands RV DIRTcar Northeast Fall Nationals.

The next race on the schedule for the Fowl Mood team is this Saturday night at Brighton Speedway as they conclude their 2012 season with their Applefest Weekend.

Fowl Mood Racing Scores Second Consecutive Top Five Finish at Brighton Speedway; Highly Anticipated Great Crate Race Coming Up This Weekend

It was a small change from the normal routine this weekend for Phil Potts and the Fowl Mood Racing team, as Brighton Speedway hosted a weekend doubleheader that would see the Late Models racing on the Sunday as opposed to their traditional Saturday night date.  It was also topless night at the Speedway, with the Late Models removing their roofs for the night, giving fans a unique perspective of their favorite drivers in action.

After struggling to a fourth place finish in his heat race, Potts and the Fowl Mood Racing team made some adjustments to the car before the main event.  He started from the 11^th position and progressed through the field to finish with a strong fifth place finish.

With the 2012 season winding down, Fowl Mood Racing has some big events lined up before the final checkered flag flies at the end of the season.  The biggest and most anticipated race of the 2012 season takes place on Saturday night at Brighton Speedway as the second annual Great Crate Race takes place.  The $5000 to win event will offer a total purse worth more the $20000 and will bring in many invaders throughout Ontario, New York State and possibly Pennsylvania and Ohio.  This race is also the second round of the Go Nuclear Late Model Series.

“We have been looking forward to this event all season long”, says Fowl Mood Racing driver Phil Potts.  “This is a huge event, and to have it right in our back yard is pretty cool.  If we could win this race it would be pretty special to all of us.  We have had a great season, but that would definitely top it off for sure”.

After the Great Crate Race on Saturday, Potts will begin to prepare for the following weekend with a pair of events at Mohawk International Raceway in Hogansburg, New York as the Go Nuclear Late Model Series continues on September 14^th and 15^th.  They will be back at Brighton on September 22^nd for the annual Applefest race and will have a few weeks off to prepare for the final Go Nuclear Late Model Challenge Series race at Brockville Speedway on Friday, October 12^th.
