Arduino 8x8 LED driving game

8x8 LED matrix used for a driving game.
There's a single LED at the bottom that is the 'car'

The track is random and moving from the top to the bottom.
The car is controlled by a potentiometer (pot)

Below is the code.  Be aware I'm more about getting the Arduino to do something and so the code will be a bit rough around the edges.  It works but I definitely do not consider it best practise or even efficent code.
Use at your own risk.

// Control an 8x8 LED display with 2 x 74HC595 shift registers
// Using only 3 pins from the Arduino

// Random Number - used to decide if to go back 1, stay the same line or forward 1
int randNumber;

//currentLine is used to record the current position of the track
int currentLine = 3;

// Postion of car
int carPosition = 3;

// Arduino Pin for the Pot used as the controller input for the car
int potPin = 2;

// Reading for the pot
int potRead;

// Range for the Pot as full travel would be too much to be practical
int potLow;
int potHigh;

//Pin connected to Pin 12 of 74HC595 (Latch)
int latchPin = 8;

//Pin connected to Pin 11 of 74HC595 (Clock)
