Fowl Mood Racing Battles Back From Early Race Spin to Record Second Straight Top Five; Go Nuclear Series to Kick Off This Weekend

Fresh off their first win of the 2012 season just one week ago, Phil Potts and the Fowl Mood Racing team were looking forward to getting back to their hometown Brighton Speedway to attempt to win their second straight feature.

After a solid second place finish in their qualifier, Phil and the rest of the Brighton Speedway competitors participated in Brighton’s annual meet the driver night. He signed autographs for local fans, and took time out for photos, and to talk to the fans that came out. 

Potts started the 30 lap main event from the 12^th position.  He drove the Fowl Mood Racing car through the field early, but spun on lap seven to avoid another car, and would have to restart from the rear of the field.  On the ensuing restart, Potts got up on the wheel, and was soon back inside the top ten.  On the final restart, he took over the fourth position, and held that spot through the end of the race.  The strong finish now moved Potts to third in Brighton Speedway track points.

“We had a fast car tonight, but we really hurt ourselves with that spin early in the race”, says Potts.  “We were able to bounce back from that and score another strong finish.  I really have to thank Stu Archer and the entire Fowl Mood team for their hard work”.

This coming week Potts has a pair of events scheduled beginning with a Friday night trip to Hogansburg, New York for the first round of the Go Nuclear Late Model Challenge Series at Mohawk International Raceway.  Potts has just one previous start at the track, finishing sixth last season.  On Saturday night, the team will return to Brighton Speedway, looking to continue their strong performances of late, and get back to their home track victory lane.

In other exciting news around the Brighton Speedway, It has been confirmed that World of Outlaw Late Model star Chubb Frank will be in action at the Brighton Speedway on Saturday, June 23^rd taking on the hometown crowd.  This will be Chubb’s first ever appearance at Brighton Speedway. 

“We are very excited to have a star like Chubb Frank come to our track”, says Potts.  “He is a very accomplished racer, and has done a lot for our sport, and I looking forward to racing against him right here at Brighton later this month”.

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.
