Fowl Mood Racing Scores Top Five Finish at Brighton Speedway on Saturday Night; Team Looking Forward to Great Crate Race Next Weekend

After returning to victory lane last weekend, Phil Potts and the Fowl Mood Racing team were looking forward to returning to Brighton Speedway once again, looking to claim their second consecutive victory. With the 2013 winding down, the team hopes to end their season on a good and with some big events on the horizon, the team looks to hit their stride at the right time.

Saturday night started off with a fifth place finish for Phil Potts in the qualifying heat race. After making some adjustments to the Fowl Mood Racing Late Model, Potts lined up for the feature from the 11th starting position. It was a slow start for Potts, marred in 9th place as they completed lap ten, and slid to tenth place as they reached the halfway point of the 30 lap main event. The car came to life in the second half though, as Potts climbed inside the top five by lap 27 and maintained that fifth place position through the final three laps.

“It was a tough battle out their tonight”, says Potts. “We really struggled early in the race, but the car came to us later on and we were able to get a decent finish”.

Phil Potts and the Fowl Mood Racing team will have Saturday night off, but will return to Brighton Speedway this coming Sunday night as the Late Models go topless as part of the Labor Day Weekend Classic. The team is gearing up for a couple big events over the next few weeks including the third annual Great Crate Race at Brighton Speedway on September 7th, as well as a back to back event at Mohawk International Raceway on Friday, September 13th and Saturday, September 14th. The 2013 season at Brighton Speedway comes to an end on Saturday, September 21st with a double points night as part of the Applefest Shootout Weekend.
