Fowl Mood Racing Scores Fourth Place Finish at Brighton Speedway; Final Points Night Coming up This Saturday Night

It wasn’t the result they were looking for as the Fowl Mood Racing team gave one last effort to trim their point deficit enough to remain in contention for the 2012 championship, but it was valiant effort from driver Phil Potts and the team to battle back from two spins during the 30 lap feature to score their 11th top five finish of the season at Brighton Speedway.

After a third place finish in his qualifying heat race, Potts started the 30 lap feature from deep in the field in 14th place. He rebounded from a lap 20 spin to storm through the field in the final 10 laps to score the fourth place result.

“It wasn’t the way we wanted to end the night. Our goal right from the beginning of the season was to win the 2012 championship and we came up a little short”, says Potts. “We hope to come back here next week and get a win, and get ready for the big races that we have coming up on our schedule”.

The Fowl Mood Racing team has September 8th circled on their calendar, as Brighton Speedway hosts the Go Nuclear Late Model Challenge Series in conjunction with the Great Crate Race $5000 to win event at the track. The following week, the Go Nuclear Late Models return to Mohawk International Raceway for a weekend double header on September 14th and 15th.

Fowl Mood Racing Gets Back on Track With Top Five Finish at Brighton Speedway on Saturday Night

The last few weeks at Brighton Speedway haven’t gone the way Phil Potts and the Fowl Mood Racing team had hoped.  Although they did score their third win of the season just a few weeks ago, they have been hampered by some bad luck over the last month that included back to back DNFs, and a nine place finish a week earlier with carburetor issues slowing them down most of the night.

The team returned to Brighton Speedway this past Saturday night despite intermittent raindrops early in the evening that threatened the night’s action.  Phil started sixth in his qualifying heat race, and battled to third place.  In the 30 lap main event, he rolled off the starting grid from fourth place, and fought within the top five the entire race.  He crossed the finish line with a solid fifth place run.

“It has been a tough few weeks for us with some bad luck, so hopefully this will get us back on track and we can build some momentum over the final few weeks of the season”, says Potts.  “We are in a battle here for the championship, and we have a few big races coming up, so we need to run well here every week from here on out”.

This coming week, Potts will be back in action at Brighton Speedway.  It will be fan appreciation night, giving the local race fans a chance to meet their favorite driver during intermission.  Potts will also be sporting some special decals on the car this weekend featuring the Canadian National Autism Foundation (CNAF).  Phil will be donating all winning on Saturday night to the CNAF as well as all t-shirt sales.

Potts is currently second place in points at Brighton Speedway, and 190 points back of the leader with just a few events remaining in the season.  The Fowl Mood Racing team has September 8^th circled on their calendar, as Brighton Speedway hosts the Go Nuclear Late Model Challenge Series in conjunction with the Great Crate Race $5000 to win event at the track.
