The 2012 racing season has been the most successful season
to date for Phil Potts and the Fowl Mood Racing team. Although they fell just short of their goal of winning the
Brighton Speedway Late Model championship, the season did have many bright
spots, including four Brighton Speedway feature wins.
After getting an early start to the 2012 season at East Bay
Speedway in Florida in early February that ended with a damaged racecar, the
Fowl Mood Racing team returned home and had to rebuild. They switched to a Rocket chassis, and
instantly took a liking to it once the season started locally. They opened the year at Brighton with a pair
of top five finishes, and after a DNF, they ended the month of May with a win
and backed that up just two weeks later with their second win of the season. The team celebrated victory on two more
occasions in 2012, taking the checkered flag on July 28th and again
on August 18th. The finished
the season in second place in the overall track point standings.
In addition to racing weekly at Brighton, Fowl Mood Racing
also followed the Go Nuclear Late Model Challenge Series. They battled hard for a top five finish in
the overall standings, but a late race flat tire on the final night at
Brockville put them in sixth place.
“We can look back on this season and be really proud of our
accomplishments”, says driver Phil Potts.
“We battled for the championship all year, we won some races, and really
had a great time. I can’t wait to get
the season started in 2013”.
Potts and the Fowl Mood Team hope to make it back to Florida
in February to compete once again with the NeSmith Late Model Series. They had some struggles last year, but feel
that their knowledge that they have gained with the new Rocket Chassis will
help them if they decide to return.
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
throughout the 2012 season, and we look forward to another great season in
2013.
