It was a small change from the normal routine this weekend
for Phil Potts and the Fowl Mood Racing team, as Brighton Speedway hosted a
weekend doubleheader that would see the Late Models racing on the Sunday as
opposed to their traditional Saturday night date. It was also topless night at the Speedway, with the Late
Models removing their roofs for the night, giving fans a unique perspective of
their favorite drivers in action.
After struggling to a fourth place finish in his heat race,
Potts and the Fowl Mood Racing team made some adjustments to the car before the
main event. He started from the 11th
position and progressed through the field to finish with a strong fifth place
finish.
With the 2012 season winding down, Fowl Mood Racing has some
big events lined up before the final checkered flag flies at the end of the
season. The biggest and most
anticipated race of the 2012 season takes place on Saturday night at Brighton
Speedway as the second annual Great Crate Race takes place. The $5000 to win event will offer a total
purse worth more the $20000 and will bring in many invaders throughout Ontario,
New York State and possibly Pennsylvania and Ohio. This race is also the second round of the Go Nuclear Late Model
Series.
“We have been looking forward to this event all season
long”, says Fowl Mood Racing driver Phil Potts. “This is a huge event, and to have it right in our back yard is
pretty cool. If we could win this race
it would be pretty special to all of us.
We have had a great season, but that would definitely top it off for
sure”.
After the Great Crate Race on Saturday, Potts will begin to
prepare for the following weekend with a pair of events at Mohawk International
Raceway in Hogansburg, New York as the Go Nuclear Late Model Series continues
on September 14th and 15th. They will be back at Brighton on September 22nd for
the annual Applefest race and will have a few weeks off to prepare for the
final Go Nuclear Late Model Challenge Series race at Brockville Speedway on
Friday, October 12th.
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.
