After a trip to Florida in early February, and a short dash
across the border for practice and opening night at Can Am the last couple
weeks, Phil Potts and the Fowl Mood Racing team were anxious to get the season
started on their home turf, as Brighton Speedway opened for the 2012 season.
Before the events at the track got underway, the Fowl Mood
Racing team joined several other area race teams for a parade along the streets
of Brighton to support the local Food Bank.
With the parade over, the attention soon turned to the night’s racing
activities. Potts finished his
qualifying heat in second, and was very happy with how the car handled. With some fine-tuning on the set up of the
car, the team was confident that they would have a good finish in the main
event.
In the 30 lap main event, Potts started from inside of the
second row in the third position. He
ran a solid race, and moved up to second at the checkered flag.
“We had a good run tonight, the car really worked well for
us”, says Potts. “Hopefully next week
will be just a little better, and we can get this car to victory lane”.
This coming Saturday night, Potts and the Fowl Mood Team
will be back at the Brighton Speedway looking for their first win of the 2012
season. The team will race at Brighton
weekly, and will follow the Go Nuclear Late Model Challenge Series, beginning
June 8th at Mohawk International Raceway in Hogansburg, New York.
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,
and we look forward to a very exciting 2012 season.
