Fowl Mood Racing and Phil Potts Visit Victory Lane on Saturday Night at Brighton Speedway; Finish Eighth in Go Nuclear Opener at Utica Rome

The 2014 racing season has been slow starting for the Fowl Mood Racing team and driver Phil Potts. The weather has been absolutely horrendous, forcing rainouts almost every weekend. When they do get on the track though, Potts has been strong. He finished fourth last week on opening night at Brighton, and was looking for some good weather as they had a very busy Victoria Day Weekend planned with racing on Friday at Can Am, Saturday at Brighton and Sunday at Utica Rome Speedway for the 1st annual Gnome Cup.

Once again, rain was the story of the day on Friday and Chapman’s Can Am Motorsports Park made their decision early to cancel the night’s program. Rain lasted all day long, and there was just no chance of racing. Saturday was a much better day, as the Fowl Mood Racing team made the short trek across the town to Brighton Speedway. Potts started third in his qualifying heat race and moved up to second just a few laps into the race and maintained that position. In the 30 lap main event, the Fowl Mood Racing car started from seventh place and was inside the top five as the race hit lap number 4. Just a couple laps later, Potts wheeled the car to third place, and quickly began to challenge for the runner-up position. By lap eight, Potts had worked his way around the second place car and began to chase down the race leader. A lap nine-restart was just what Potts needed, and when they circled around to complete lap 10 he was in the lead and never looked back.

“The car was great tonight. Everyone on the team has worked hard during the off-season, and we have come back here with hopes of winning the championship”, says Potts. “We had a good run last week and backed that up with a win tonight and we are real happy with where we are at”.

On Sunday, the team headed to Vernon, New York for the 1st annual Gnome Cup event at Utica Rome Speedway. A second place finish in the qualifier locked Potts into the redraw for the main event. He ran a solid race, and came out with an eighth place finish.

“We are real happy with our results tonight”, says Potts. “I really have to thank the crew for all their hard work that they put into this car. I have to thank Stu and April (Archer) for providing me with the chance to drive these cars, and to my family for putting up with me being gone a lot”.

Potts will once again try to get back to Can Am Motorsports Park this coming Friday night, weather permitting. On Saturday night they will be looking to make it two wins in a row at Brighton Speedway. The next race on the Go Nuclear schedule is Sunday, June 1st at Humberstone Speedway in Port Colborne, Ontario.

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 throughout the 2014 racing season.

Fowl Mood Racing Grabs Fourth Place Finish on Saturday Night at Brighton Speedway; Busy Weekend of Racing Coming Up

The Fowl Mood Racing team has been ready to get the 2014 season started for a while now, but Mother Nature had not been co-operative. The scheduled Atomic Spring Clash at Mohawk International Raceway was first postponed from its original date at the end of April, and was cancelled altogether when rain returned the following weekend. Both Can Am and Brighton Speedway also lost their first show of the season to rain. This past weekend the team was finally able to get to the track, but they still battled the weather.

On Friday night, Phil Potts and the Fowl Mood Racing team hit the road to Can Am Motorsports Park. They will compete at Can Am regularly in 2014, and were hoping to get the year started off on a good note. They started the qualifying heat race from sixth place, and were able to advance to fifth by the end of the race. The feature event was the first up for the night, and they had just made their way onto the track as it started to rain. A heavy downpour forced track officials to postpone the Late Model feature and it will now be made up on Friday, May 23rd.

Brighton Speedway was able to get their 2014 season started on Saturday night, and Potts started the night with a third place finish in their heat race. In the 30 lap main event, Potts started from sixth place, and battled within the top five all race long. He finished the race with a solid fourth place run.

“The car was pretty good tonight. It felt good to finally get back on the track and get the season started after all the rainouts”, says Potts. “We are happy with this finish, and look forward to a busy weekend coming up”.

Potts and the Fowl Mood Racing team will head back to Can Am Motorsports Park on Friday night, and return to Brighton Speedway on Saturday. On Sunday, they will make their debut at Utica Rome Speedway in Vernon, New York for the 1st annual Gnome Cup, which is the first race of the Go Nuclear Late Model Series schedule.

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 throughout the 2014 racing season.

Fowl Mood Racing Reflects Back on 2013 Season and Looks Ahead to 2014

Without a doubt, the 2013 racing season did not get off to the start that the Fowl Mood Racing team had expected. Months of preparation and planning for the new season didn’t produce the expectations that they had been looking for. Team owner Stu Archer had purchased a Canadian Modified, and the plan was to race weekly at Brighton Speedway, as well as the Late Model program with Phil Potts.

After a few rough weeks early in the season for the both Stu and Phil, the Fowl Mood Racing team quickly came to the conclusion that they needed to go back to focusing on just the Late Model. Despite their early season frustrations, Potts remained in the top five in Brighton Speedway for most of the season. The team hit they stride in the summer, claiming their first win of the season on Saturday, July 27th, and returned to victory lane just a few weeks later with their win on Saturday, August 17th.

“The season we had didn’t meet our expectations, we really wanted to contend for the Brighton Speedway championship, but it just didn’t work out for us this year”, says Phil Potts. “We will be back next year looking for that championship”.

In addition to racing weekly at Brighton Speedway, Potts also finished in fifth place overall in the Go Nuclear Late Model Series North Division, which included a top ten finish in the annual Great Crate Race at Brighton Speedway, and a strong third place at the series opener at Can Am.

This coming season, the Fowl Mood Racing team has added an extra car to their arsenal and will race weekly at Can Am Motorsports Park in Lafargeville, New York as well as their hometown Brighton Speedway. The team also plans to follow the entire Go Nuclear Late Model Series schedule which included the 2014 season opening event at Mohawk International Raceway on April 26th and 27th.

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 throughout the 2012 season, and we look forward to another great season in 2013.

Fowl Mood Racing Battles to 6th Place Finish in Brockville Speedway Marathon; Black Rock Speedway Coming up This Weekend for 2013 Finale

The 2013 racing season has had a lot of ups and downs for Phil Potts and the Fowl Mood Racing team. With the final race of the Go Nuclear Late Model Series Excel Tower North Division on tap at Brockville Speedway, the team was hoping for a strong finish.

Although the Fowl Mood Racing team enjoys racing at Brockville Speedway, they have not had much luck there in the past, often a victim of bad luck. They were optimistic that this race would be much better. They battled inside the top five early in the 35 lap main event, but track conditions were less than favorable, and Potts would finish in 12th place. The team will finish the year in 5th place overall in the Go Nuclear Excel Tower North Division standings.

“It certainly wasn’t what we had expected coming here today”, says Potts. “We were really hoping for a good finish. We enjoy racing here at Brockville, but just cant seem to catch a break”.

The final race of the 2013 season comes this Saturday, October 26th at Black Rock Speedway in Dundee, New York for the Go Nuclear Late Model Series season finale.

Fowl Mood Racing Looking For Home Track Advantage as 3rd Annual Great Crate Race Takes Place This Saturday Night at Brighton Speedway

The 2013 season did not go exactly the way Phil Potts and the Fowl Mood Racing team had envisioned prior to the drop of the first green flag of the season back in May. Early season frustrations eventually gave way to a couple wins after some hard work and determination from the entire Fowl Mood Racing team.

With the biggest event of the season on the horizon with the 3rd annual Great Crate Race this weekend, the entire season could be made with just one race, with $5000 to win, a total purse in excess of $20000, and the prestige of winning such a big event on the line. This race was originally scheduled for September 7th, but was postponed due to rain, as was last weekend’s Applefest Weekend classic and final points race.

“We haven’t had much luck in the first two Great Crate Race events, so hopefully we can turn that around this year”, says Fowl Mood Racing driver Phil Potts. “It sure would make our season to pull out a win the biggest event of the season”.

After the Great Crate Race, the Fowl Mood Racing team will have a few weeks off before competing at Brockville Speedway on October 20th for their Go Nuclear Late Model Series event.

Fowl Mood Racing Gets Third Consecutive Top Five Finish at Brighton Speedway on Sunday Night; Great Crate Race Coming Up This Weekend

With a win and a top five finish during the past two weeks at Brighton Speedway, Phil Potts and the Fowl Mood Racing team were hoping they could build on their recent success as they enter the final month of the 2013 season. This past weekend the Fowl Mood team had a rare Saturday night off as the Late Models were on the Sunday portion of the Labor Day Classic Weekend at Brighton.

Potts started his qualifying heat race at Brighton Speedway from the fourth position, and maintained that position through the finish. The 30 lap Late Model feature had Potts starting from the outside of row four in the eighth position. After avoiding an early race incident, Potts quickly moved to the front of the field. The end result was a strong second place finish and third consecutive top five.

“It feels good to be running competitively here again the last few weeks after a slow start to the season”, says Potts. “We have some big events coming up and hopefully we can continue to run well”.

This coming weekend will be one of the biggest for the Fowl Mood Racing team as Brighton Speedway hosts the 3rd annual Great Crate Race. This event will draw cars from Ontario, New York and possibly as far as Pennsylvania and Ohio for the lucrative $5000 to win payday. The following weekend the team will be at Mohawk International Raceway for the Mohawk Nationals Weekend with events on both Friday, September 13th and Saturday September 14th. All three of these events are part of the Go Nuclear Late Model Series.

Phil Potts and the Fowl Mood Racing team are gearing up for a couple big events over the next few weeks including the third annual Great Crate Race at Brighton Speedway on Saturday night.

Fowl Mood Racing Scores Top Five Finish at Brighton Speedway on Saturday Night; Team Looking Forward to Great Crate Race Next Weekend

After returning to victory lane last weekend, Phil Potts and the Fowl Mood Racing team were looking forward to returning to Brighton Speedway once again, looking to claim their second consecutive victory. With the 2013 winding down, the team hopes to end their season on a good and with some big events on the horizon, the team looks to hit their stride at the right time.

Saturday night started off with a fifth place finish for Phil Potts in the qualifying heat race. After making some adjustments to the Fowl Mood Racing Late Model, Potts lined up for the feature from the 11th starting position. It was a slow start for Potts, marred in 9th place as they completed lap ten, and slid to tenth place as they reached the halfway point of the 30 lap main event. The car came to life in the second half though, as Potts climbed inside the top five by lap 27 and maintained that fifth place position through the final three laps.

“It was a tough battle out their tonight”, says Potts. “We really struggled early in the race, but the car came to us later on and we were able to get a decent finish”.
