Fowl Mood Racing Gets Off to Strong Start at Brighton With 4th Place Finish for Phil Potts in the Late Model; Archer Gets Top 10 in Maiden Voyage With Canadian Modified

After a weekend of practice, both Fowl Mood Racing cars were ready for action on opening night at Brighton Speedway this past weekend. Phil Potts with the Late Model had already had a race under his belt at Can Am a week earlier was looking forward to the first run of the season at his home town track. Archer on the other hand was making his debut in the Canadian Modified division.

The day started off with the annual Champions parade through the streets of downtown Brighton, from there the team headed to the race track, ready for opening night battle. Potts started out strong, finishing first in his qualifying heat race, and ended the night with a fourth place finish in the feature. Archer had a strong debut as well. He placed third in his qualifying heat race, and would come out of the night’s main event with a solid top 10 performance.

“It was a good run for both cars to start the season”, says team owner and Canadian Modified driver Stu Archer. “Phil did a great job, getting a top five finish, and the Canadian Modified was good too. The car (Canadian Modified) is definitely better than the driver at this point, but we are getting there”.

This coming weekend, Phil Potts and the Fowl Mood Late Model and Stu Archer and the Canadian Modified will return to Brighton Speedway for round two of the 2013 racing season. They will compete weekly at Brighton with both cars, while Phil Potts plans to follow the Go Nuclear Late Model Series and select events with the World of Outlaw Late Models.
