Fowl Mood Racing Gets Fourth Place Finish in Go Nuclear Series Opener; Continues Successful Season With Second Place at Brighton Speedway

The 2012 season has been good for Phil Potts and the Fowl Mood Racing team.  Since debuting their Rocket chassis earlier this season, the team has improved their consistency, have won races, and are very much in contention for the coveted Brighton Speedway Late Model Championship.  In addition to their usual Saturday night trip up the road to Brighton Speedway, the Fowl Mood Racing team also made the 3 and half hour drive to Hogansburg, New York for the first round of the Go Nuclear Late Model Challenge Series at Mohawk International Raceway.

A few weeks ago, the team traveled to Mohawk Raceway, only to witness an incredible hail storm and heavy rain not long after arriving at the track.  The program was postponed until this past Friday night, and the weather was not an issue.  After a fifth place finish in their qualifying heat, the team made some adjustments to the car to get ready for the 30 lap main event.  Potts started the race from the 12^th position and quickly moved up through the field.  By lap ten Phil had moved up to third place, and would run solidly inside the top five for the remaining laps with a fourth place finish.

“The car just had way too much forward drive in the heat race, and we came back in and made some adjustments, and the car worked great in the feature”, says Potts.  “This is a great track to race at, and I look forward to coming back here in September”.

After returning back home early on Saturday morning, the Fowl Mood Racing team went to work, doing their routine maintenance getting the car ready for the night’s events at Brighton Speedway.  The night started out with a win in his qualifying heat race, and finished second in the 30 lap feature.

“We had a good run, but it could have been better, and could have been much worse too”, explains Potts.  “We blew a brake line, but we were still able to finish with a solid second place finish.  We are happy with the end result, considering the brake issues”.

This coming weekend, Potts will be back at Brighton Speedway looking to get back to victory lane.  He is currently second in track points, just 75 points out of the lead.
