At Can Am, Potts battled to a fourth place finish in his qualifying heat race after starting in seventh place. Potts lined up on the inside of row three in the fifth position for the main event. After getting pushed up the track early and losing a couple positions, Potts regrouped and was able to battle back on the high side of the Speedway to score a third place finish.

Brighton Speedway was up next on Saturday night. It was a tough night for the Fowl Mood team, battling from the back several times throughout the feature. Potts crossed the line with a solid fourth place result.

Fowl Mood Racing Has Unforgettable Weekend With Wins on Friday Night at Can Am and Go Nuclear Late Model Series Win at Cornwall on Sunday

Every once in a while, a team will hit it just right and they will have an unforgettable weekend. That is exactly what happened to Phil Potts and the Fowl Mood Racing team. Going into this past weekend, Potts had not won at a track outside of their home track in Brighton and they were looking to change that. Their schedule consisted of double features on Friday night at Can Am, followed by a regular show at Brighton Speedway before hitting the road for Cornwall Speedway early on Sunday morning.

Friday night at Can Am started out with the feature that was postponed from May 9th. Potts started from the fourth position and quickly made his way to second. While Potts pulled away from the third place car, he was unable to make ground on the race leader, and settled for a second place finish. In the second feature of the night, Potts started from the second row and was in the lead before they completed lap one. For much of the race, he raced side by side battling for the lead and would cross the finish line with his first ever Can Am victory. Potts is currently the points leader at Can Am by just eight points.

“That was a lot of fun”, says Potts after the race. “I really have to give props to Charlie (Sandercock) for the great battle. We ran 9 laps door to door in that second feature. It was a blast”.

Brighton Speedway was up next on the schedule. The team scored a third place finish in their qualifying heat race, and struggled to a fourth place result in the main event. Potts is currently third in points at Brighton Speedway, sitting 100 points behind the leader with plenty of racing to go in 2014.

Friday’s race at Can Am was exciting, but held nothing over what was about to happen on Sunday night at Cornwall with the Go Nuclear Late Model Series. Potts started the 35 lap main event from the 11th position and was up to sixth place when the race was slowed on lap eight for the first caution of the night. By the halfway point, Potts had worked his way into a top five position and was up to third when the race was slowed on lap 21. The Delaware-style restarts had Potts on the outside of row two for the restart and he continued in the third position. At lap 30, Potts advanced to second after one of the leaders had a mechanical issue. Over the next few laps, Potts did everything he could to run down the race leader, and made an impressive outside lane move with 2 laps to go, but had to back out of it to avoid contact with the wall. The final caution was displayed on the white flag lap setting up one more shot at victory. When the race resumed, Potts blasted to the outside line, and stormed to victory with a dramatic last lap, last corner pass by a slim margin of just 0.011 of a second.

“I really have to thank all of my sponsors, and crew for all their support”, says Potts. “Winning this Go Nuclear race is pretty special to us and we are all really excited right now”.
