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.
