No. 60 Buffalo Wings & Rings Dodge Charger

Sheltra, an Indiantown, Florida native has been named as a pre-race favorite for the fifth race of the season and for good reason. In the season opener in February, Sheltra mastered a stout fifth place finish at Daytona (Fla.) International Speedway. Despite not walking away with a win, Sheltra reels in the success he conquered at Daytona and feels that he can improve at Talladega with his second career victory in his 72nd career ARCA start.

“The name Talladega says it all,” says Sheltra, who currently sits third in the championship standings, just 70 points from the lead. “For the past couple years, we have shown that Sheltra Motorsports has a successful superspeedway program and we look to continue that presence on Friday.”

Armed with the same No. 60 Buffalo Wings & Rings Dodge Charger that the 23-year old competed with at Daytona, Sheltra knows that a car good is one of the keys to superspeedway dominance.

He added, “Jon (Wolfe, crew chief) and the boys have been working extremely hard since the Talladega test last month to make this car even better than it was in Daytona, so their enthusiasm has me looking forward to hopefully leading the pack on Friday.”

Stepping up their associate marketing partnership role from last weekend at Texas Motor Speedway, Cincinnati, Ohio based Buffalo Wings & Rings (BWR) will return as the primary marketing partner for Sheltra’s fourth career ARCA start at the 2.66-mile superspeedway.

Known for its “Great Food; No Bull!” campaign, Buffalo Wings & Rings (BWR) is the fastest-growing privately owned franchised chain of restaurants in the nation serving Buffalo-style chicken wings, onion rings, burgers, gyros, wraps and salads. And the only wing establishment in the country with a unique saucing system, customers of BWR get to choose from 45 different sauce combinations. Founded in 1984 in Cincinnati, Ohio, Buffalo Wings & Rings operates 56 franchised restaurants in the United States. Buffalo Wings & Rings was ranked the No. 1 fastest growing restaurant chain nationwide in the July 2008 issue of Restaurant Business, and ranked in the top 500 franchises in the January 2009 issue of Entrepreneur.

“Our goal is to take Buffalo Wings & Rings to victory lane on Friday at Talladega,” said Sheltra, whose best finish at Talladega is a fifth in 2008. “It’s one of their favorite tracks. BWR and their customers love the intensity, the close racing and the excitement the ARCA Racing Series brings to the track. I don’t plan to disappoint them.”

In addition to the ARCA Racing Series event on Friday, Sheltra will also make his fifth career NASCAR Nationwide Series (NNS) debut on Saturday (April 24) behind the wheel of the No. 09 Ford Fusion for RAB Racing and former ARCA car owner and driver Robby Benton. Sheltra has never competed in a NASCAR sanctioned event at Talladega (Ala.) Superspeedway.

“I’ve always had the utmost respect for Robby Benton and his organization in the NASCAR Nationwide Series,” sounded Sheltra. “I’m honored and humbled at the opportunity to drive for the team at Talladega. Our expectations are high, but there is no doubt that with a little luck we can accomplish our mission.”

Entering Talladega, Sheltra has 71 ARCA Racing Series presented by RE/MAX and Menards starts to his credit with one career victory at Salem Speedway (April 2009). During his ARCA tenure, Sheltra has accumulated 12 top-fives and posted 26 top-10 finishes. A third place qualifying effort at Rockingham Speedway (April 2009) is Sheltra’s best time trials efforts to date. He has controlled the ARCA field six times for 148 laps.

The Talladega ARCA 250 (94 laps / 250 miles) is the fifth of 20 events on the 2010 ARCA Racing Series schedule. The 48th ever ARCA race at Talladega Superspeedway is a two-day show. Practice begins Thursday, April 22 with a three hour practice session planned from 10:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. Menards pole qualifying presented by Ansell is set for later in the day slated to begin at 5:05 p.m. A 45-minute final practice has been etched in on Friday, April 23 from 9:30 a.m. – 10:15 a.m. The event will take the green flag that afternoon shortly after 4:00 p.m. The race will be televised live on SPEED with additional live broadcasting available through the ARCA Racing Network (ARN) online at arcaracing.com. All times are local.

- Sheltra Motorsports Press Release

Patrick Sheltra

Sheltra and his Jon Wolfe led Sheltra Motorsports team returned to the 1.5-mile speedway on the heels of a productive test last month. The Mooresville, North Carolina team fine tuned their Toyota Camry in hopes of sending Sheltra to victory lane for the first time on a speedway. Early on, the chances seemed very likely.

In practice on Thursday afternoon, Sheltra quickly posted a lap among the top-10 fastest. The team continued to improve the handling of their Grace Sheltra owned automobile and by the conclusion of practice had rocketed their machine to fifth fastest overall. Electrified with the results from practice, Sheltra was itching to qualify with the hope of nailing his first ever ARCA pole.

Sheltra’s dreams would be hampered when Mother Nature rolled in and attacked Texas Motor Speedway with a downpour that would force ARCA Racing Series presented by RE/MAX and Menards officials to cancel Menards pole qualifying presented by Ansell which meant Sheltra would make his TMS debut from the ninth position, as the field was set according to last year’s (2009) ARCA owner points.

“I am extremely disappointed that we weren’t able to qualify,” said Sheltra, a four-year ARCA pro. “Jon (Wolfe) and the boys gave me a hot rod. This Toyota moves and we were not showing everything we had in practice. I really thought we had a shot at the pole. Guess we’ll never know now. We just need to turn our focus now towards the race.”

At the start of the Rattlesnake 150, Sheltra wasted no time moving the field. By the completion of lap one, Sheltra was able to move past Tim George Jr., and Bryan Silas before being halted by an early caution.

On the restart, Sheltra continued to move forward and found himself approaching the top-five when on lap 13 the team’s day took a dramatic turn. Ahead of Sheltra, the No. 25 of Mikey Kile and the No. 16 of Joey Coulter were battling side-by-side. Kile’s Venturini Motorsports machine broke loose and slid into the rear of Coulter’s No. 16. The two cars spun directly in front of Sheltra with the 23-year old getting hard on the binders only to be plowed from behind by Steve Arpin.

After spinning, Sheltra’s Toyota was the first to leave the scene of the accident with minimal damage to his green and orange machine. The damage wasn’t massive but happened to be in the vicinity of the most critical areas of a racecar. Quick work by the Sheltra Motorsports team kept the No. 60 on the lead lap but with Sheltra marred deep in the field.

Back to racing, Sheltra quickly began making work of the slower vehicles and moved comfortably back into the top-15 before the yellow flag waived again approaching halfway. The team brought their driver back down pit road for further damage control and a chassis adjustment to help Sheltra negotiate a tight-handling racecar which was the repercussion of the damage to his fenders.

Sheltra roared from the back to the front once again and found himself hovering comfortably inside the top-10 when 15 laps from the finish – Sheltra keyed his microphone and notified his team that his car had gone extremely bad loose. “Something’s wrong boys,” he said. Sheltra felt like he had a tire going down and was ready to make an unscheduled stop on pit road when thankfully the yellow waived for the stalled machine of Ricky Carmichael on the racetrack.

The team opted not to take any chances and bring their pilot back down the pit lane change four tires and repair the back bumper which had broken loose from the incident earlier in the race. Wolfe informed his driver that he did not have a tire going down and the Hoosier tires they replaced on his automobile were 20-lap scuffs.

Sitting 16th on the restart – Sheltra lived up to his nickname “Mr. Showtime” and began slicing and dicing his way through the ARCA field and found himself back in the top-10 in the eighth position passing fellow Floridian Bryan Silas inside the race’s final 10 circuits. It appeared Sheltra was prepared to settle for eighth but the yellow waived once again which would throw the race into overtime and allow Sheltra another opportunity to pick up a few more positions.

On the green-white-checkered attempt, Sheltra quickly disposed of the No. 29 of Chad Finley and was preparing to make the move on nine-time ARCA champion Frank Kimmel and the No. 36 of Robb Brent when the No. 44 of Kimmel threw a block at Sheltra forcing him to back out of the gas and lose the momentum he had exiting turns one and two.

The momentum stall would force Sheltra to hunker down and bring his car home in the seventh position continuing a great start to the 2010 ARCA Racing Series season for the Sheltra Motorsports operation.

“It was a challenging day,” said Sheltra. “We had a car that I think was capable of winning the race. She was bad fast. We had the wreck avoided with Joey (Coulter) but then we were hit from behind and I made light contact with Mikey (Kile) and it really hurt the aerodynamics of our car. From there, we tried to adjust the car and deal with the cards we were handed. It’s disappointing but we’re relieved to leave Texas with a top-10 finish. We’ll see if we can’t seal the deal at Talladega.”

The Friday night effort for Sheltra marked the first time that he has finished inside the top-10 for four consecutive ARCA events which helped the avid dirt late model competitor comfortably maintain his third place position in the ARCA Racing Series championship standings trailing close friend Justin Marks by 60 points and 70 credits behind Texas winner and current points leader Steve Arpin.

Next up for the ARCA Racing Series presented by RE/MAX and Menards is a stop in Alabama at the Talladega (Ala.) Superspeedway for the running of the Talladega ARCA 250. The 94-lap / 250 mile event is set for Friday, April 23 at 4:00 p.m. CST., with live coverage on SPEED. Sheltra will make his fourth career start at the 2.66-mile superspeedway.

Leaving Texas, Sheltra has 71 ARCA Racing Series presented by RE/MAX and Menards starts to his credit with one career victory at Salem Speedway (April 2009). During his ARCA tenure, Sheltra has accumulated 12 top-fives and posted 26 top-10 finishes. A third place qualifying effort at Rockingham Speedway (April 2009) is Sheltra’s best time trials efforts to date. He has controlled the ARCA field six times for 148 laps.

In the treks of his hometown Indiantown, Florida, Sheltra qualified 12th and survived his first ever stock car race in the rain to finish 10th.

It Happened Here; One Year Ago: Last April (2009), Sheltra climbed back behind the wheel of his Grace Sheltra owned automobile to compete in an ARCA Racing Series event since a near-career ending incident at Daytona (Fla.) International Speedway earlier that year. Recovering from injuries that included a compressive fracture of his vertebrae and a dislocated kneecap, Sheltra showed the accident never fazed him as he qualified a then career-best of fourth, led 84 laps en-route to his first career ARCA Racing Series victory at the southern Indiana race track. Sheltra called the win a true example of a Cinderella story.

Welcome Back Buffalo Wings & Rings: Recently, Sheltra Motorsports and Buffalo Wings & Rings announced that the two would reunite for four upcoming ARCA Racing Series events beginning with Sunday’s contest at Salem Speedway. Known for its “Great Food; No Bull!” campaign, Buffalo Wings & Rings is the fastest-growing privately owned franchised chain of restaurants in the nation serving Buffalo-style chicken wings, onion rings, burgers, gyros, wraps and salads.

Sheltra Motorsports, Salem Speedway Pre-Race Quotes: Patrick Sheltra, driver of the No. 60 Buffalo Wings & Rings Dodge Charger:

On Palm Beach International Raceway: “For never having raced in the rain before, I felt like we had a good run. The entire race was very competitive and I was really impressed with the way the field handled the wet conditions. It was probably one of the best ARCA Racing Series events I was apart of. A 10th place finish in the rain and on a road course, I’ll take it.”

On Returning To Salem Speedway: “Without a doubt, Salem is one of my favorite races on the circuit. The track is really rough but that is what makes that place so great. I have a good feeling about this weekend. The same feeling I had last year.”

On Going For Back-To-Back Victories: “I want to win again so bad, it is not even funny. Our guys have been working hard in the shop and I have been preaching to them about how cool a race at Salem really is for those who have never been there. We’re going there (Salem) with some momentum, so I’m just looking forward to seeing what Sunday brings!”

On The Return Of Buffalo Wings & Rings: “The return of Buffalo Wings & Rings as a marketing partner with Sheltra Motorsports is very important to me. It’s a great place to eat and the people with BWR are just incredible to work with. We’re going to have a huge cheering section on Sunday and that’s just the type of support we need to return to victory lane!”

On Points: “We’re sitting comfortable right now. Our goal this weekend is to escape Salem with the point’s lead. I feel like if we can keep a good head on our shoulders and race smart, we’ll be around all season long and be able to capture the championship crown in October. I know it can be a little too early to be thinking about point’s, but these races are going to fly by here soon – so we have to really look at them whether we really want to or not.”

Sheltra Motorsports, Salem Speedway Pre-Race Quotes: Grace Sheltra, owner of the No. 60 Buffalo Wings & Rings Dodge Charger:

On Palm Beach International Raceway: “It was a lot of fun to race in our back yard with the family and friends in-toe. Patrick and the team did a fantastic job given all of the obstacles the weather gave the teams. We’re off to the best start ever in racing and I couldn’t be happier about it.”

On Salem Speedway: “There’s no describing how it felt to be in victory lane last April. It was one of those experiences that you will never forget. I love short track racing but Salem has become one of my favorite race tracks not just because of the win. The weather should be great which should yield a good show for everyone on Sunday.”

On The Early Season Success: “We’re very happy with the direction of the team right now. We made a big move in the off-season to North Carolina. The team has really gelled well together and it’s showing on the track. I’m looking forward to seeing what the rest of the season brings.”

Patrick Sheltra

Should the 23-year old driver master his tasks, he’ll move onto his next goal which will consist of capturing the trio of three victories in the April ARCA stretch which consist of Salem (Ind.) Speedway, Texas Motor Speedway and the breathtaking Talladega (Ala.) Superspeedway. The proposal is no easy task but Sheltra has acquired a new taste of determination and “want” thanks to the surrounding of his Sheltra Motorsports team.

“Not only am I looking forward to Salem this weekend, but I’m eager for Texas and Talladega too,” said Sheltra, who sits fourth in the championship standings entering the third race of the 2010 season, just 35 points from the lead. “Salem is one of my favorite races on the schedule and I know that we have a good car for this weekend, so I’m more than ready to get back after it.”

And if the fame of returning as the defending champion isn’t enough, Sunday’s race will mark the return of Cincinnati, Ohio based Buffalo Wings & Rings (BWR) on-board as the team’s primary marketing partner for Sheltra’s seventh ARCA start at the historic southern Indiana short track.

After practicing in the top-10 on Thursday, Sheltra qualified his No. 60 PowerTrac Machinery Dodge Charger into the 11th position on Friday morning. Rain forced the cancellation of final practice Friday evening but the Sheltra Motorsports team led by veteran Crew Chief Jon Wolfe were confident in their machine.

At the start of the season opener, Sheltra quickly positioned himself into the top-10 and had began tucking his way through the running order before on lap five, the No. 60 machine broke loose in turn three with “Mr. Showtime” as he’s called in the garage making a brilliant save. A lap later, a multi-car crash ensued behind Sheltra which took out several of the race’s top-contenders.

During the caution, Sheltra radioed to his team that his car was fast but “loose” and needed some help with grip. Wolfe acknowledged his request and informed his pilot that he would make an adjustment on the next stop.

The event would be plagued early on with caution after caution. Sheltra became agitated with all the yellows as he felt like he had a car capable of powering to the front.

Close to the half-way mark, Sheltra made his lone trip to pit road for four tires, fuel and a chassis adjustment. The Mooresville, North Carolina based crew did a great job with the stop but Sheltra found himself blocked in his pit by another competitor. The hiccup cost him a couple positions on pit road.

No worries though, Sheltra was bound and determined to retain those lost positions back and gain a few more in the process. Several impressive and thrilling passes throughout the second half of the race, caused the fans in the stands and announcers to gasp, Sheltra though found himself back in the top-three inside the final 10 laps of the event.

While his team and friends quickly recalled the outcome of last year’s event, they had no time to fret – as Sheltra began setting up his prey ahead of him – vying to maneuver his car to the lead and what would have been the biggest win of his racing career.

With two laps remaining, Sheltra ducked to the outside with little help – hoping to get additional help to draft to the lead. With many of the cars electing to stay glued to the bottom – Danica Patrick did everything she could to attach her car to the bumper of the No. 60 but it was a little too late. Sheltra would come to the checkered flag battling the No. 51 of pole sitter James Buescher side-by-side with the Toyota of Buescher just edging out Sheltra’s Dodge to the line awarding the 23-year old driver with his second-career top-five finish at a superspeedway.

In 2008, Sheltra found himself in contention for the win at Talladega (Ala.) Superspeedway but a late-race shuffle while leading knocked him back into the fifth position.

“That was a lot of fun,” said Sheltra, climbing from his racecar. “We had an excellent car, we just needed some help. It just seemed like no one wanted to go to the outside. Our car could go out there but it just seemed like everyone wanted to stay on the bottom. Next time I see Terry Jones – I’m going to buy him a drink or something. He came out of nowhere and gave us a huge shove late in the race and that really gave us the momentum to try and steal the show.”

He added, “We had to make a move to try and win the race. This is an important race for us and I think we made the best of it. Thanks to Jon (Wolfe, crew chief) and the guys for their flawless efforts all week. We are extremely thankful to PowerTrac for coming onboard for the race and all of our other marketing partners for their commitment to our race team. I definitely had my co-pilot aboard (referring to Nicholas Batchelor). Nicholas this race is for you!”

As far as Danica Patrick’s effort – Sheltra noted, “You know what, she did a great job. I know she learned a lot about the draft and she raced everyone pretty clean. It seemed like she was always around me. She even tried to help me there in the end – and I appreciate that. It would not surprise me if she decided to run the NASCAR Nationwide Series race at Daytona. I think she’ll do fine.”

American Concrete, Buffalo Wings & Rings, BuckedUpApparel.com, CAM 2 Blue Blood Racing Oil, Ferguson Pipe Enterprises, Indiantown Marina and Pardo Trucking join the team as associate marketing partners in Saturday’s season-opener.

Unofficially, Sheltra sits fifth in the ARCA Racing Series championship standings, the highest points start in his four seasons of competition. Just 30 points separate Sheltra from the lead held by Daytona winner Bobby Gerhart. Sheltra could easily take the top-spot by competing in the upcoming ARCA Racing Series 150 at Palm Beach (Fla.) International Raceway as the competitors ahead of him are not expected to run a full-season.

Exiting Daytona, Sheltra has 68 ARCA Racing Series presented by RE/MAX and Menards starts to his credit with one career victory at Salem Speedway (April 2009). During his ARCA tenure, Sheltra has accumulated 11 top-fives and posted 23 top-10 finishes. A third place qualifying effort at Rockingham Speedway (April 2009) is Sheltra’s best time trials efforts to date. He has controlled the ARCA field five times for 109 laps.

Next up for the ARCA Racing Series is an open-test at Palm Beach (Fla.) International Raceway on Monday, February 8. The eight-hour test is a preamble to the second event of the 2010 season set for Saturday, February 27, 2010.

In the same Dodge Charger that Sheltra piloted last April at Talladega (Ala.) Speedway, the Indiantown, Florida native whipped his Grace Sheltra owned machine around the 2.5-mile superspeedway to a time of 49.612 seconds at 181.408 miles per hour.

In session one which was concluded about half-way during the lengthy practice effort, Sheltra clocked his neon green and camouflage machine into the ninth position.

“Our PowerTrac Dodge is really good. We didn’t have to play with it a whole today. The car handles real well all by itself and the little drafting we did today, I didn’t have one complaint,” Sheltra said. “We’re going to qualify somewhere between eighth and 12th, I think tomorrow (Friday) but come race day, we’re going to have a shot at winning this thing. I just have to thank Jon (Wolfe, crew chief) and all of the guys for working real hard. I’m really looking forward to the rest of the weekend.”

The 23-year old phenom drew the 15th position for Friday’s Menards pole qualifying presented by Ansell session. Last year, Sheltra qualified his Dodge 16th but was entangled in a late race incident during last season’s season opener which nearly cost the ARCA veteran his racing career. Despite the innocent, he finished 14th.

“I try not and think about what happened last year,” Sheltra added. “Sure it was a bad deal but I think everyone learned from it. I know it made me more attentive as a racecar driver though. These ARCA cars are incredibly safe and I know my guys work extremely hard to keep me safe. I don’t think or hope we won’t see a race like we did last year on Saturday.”

After climbing out of his car Thursday evening, Sheltra was interviewed by Steven Smith of the Orlando Sentinel. The twenty minute interview ranged from Sheltra’s entrance into Motorsports, his off-track life, the ARCA Racing Series as a whole and his thoughts on the addition of IZOD IndyCar Series star Danica Patrick and Formula One driver Nelson Piquet Jr. participating in the ARCA race at Daytona. The commentary article is scheduled to run this Saturday (February 6).

On Saturday, Sheltra Motorsports will also pay tribute to six-year old Nicholas Batchelor who perished in an off-road utility accident in January.

American Concrete, Buffalo Wings & Rings, BuckedUpApparel.com, CAM 2 Blue Blood Racing Oil, Ferguson Pipe Enterprises, Indiantown Marina and Pardo Trucking join the team as associate marketing partners in Sheltra third career start at Daytona (Fla.) International Speedway this weekend.

Entering Daytona, Sheltra has 67 ARCA Racing Series presented by RE/MAX and Menards starts to his credit with one career victory at Salem Speedway (April 2009). During his ARCA tenure, Sheltra has accumulated 10 top-fives and posted 22 top-10 finishes. A third place qualifying effort at Rockingham Speedway (April 2009) is Sheltra’s best time trials efforts to date. He has controlled the ARCA field five times for 109 laps.

The Lucas Oil Slick Mist 200 at Daytona (80 laps / 200 miles) is the first of 20 events on the 2010 ARCA Racing Series presented by RE/MAX and Menards schedule. The 47th ARCA race held at Daytona is a three-day show. Menards pole qualifying presented by Ansell is set for Friday, February 5 slated to begin at 11:00 a.m. A fifty minute final practice session is etched in on Friday evening from 5:40pm-6:30 p.m. The event will take the green flag on Saturday, February 6 shortly after 4:30 p.m. The race will be televised live on SPEED with additional race coverage including live timing and scoring and radio broadcast through the ARCA Racing Network (ARN) online at arcaracing.com.

However, before Patrick enters the NASCAR Nationwide Series, she’ll first tackle the ARCA Racing Series presented by RE/MAX and Menards which is often referred as the stepping-stone to NASCAR.

Patrick will join veteran ARCA driver Patrick Sheltra, his Sheltra Motorsports team and not to mention a healthy and impressive plethora of other drivers and teams expected to partake in the three-day open test session at Daytona (Fla.) International Speedway beginning on Friday December 18 and concluding on Sunday December 20, preparing for next year’s season opener.

Sheltra, who just concluded his three consecutive season of ARCA competition commented on the recent announcement while also giving his opinion on his expectations for Patrick for the test and next season’s Lucas Oil Slick Mist 200 at Daytona set for Saturday, February 6, 2010.

Sheltra’s statement will also be featured in an expected upcoming commentary article on ARCARacing.com.

Patrick Sheltra

For any driver making their debut at Daytona will be no easy task. I know she is used to speed but there is a big difference between the two series. I don’t know if she will fully understand the draft in a stock-car compared to an IndyCar. I will be watching her and her team very closely at the test next weekend. She really needs to with the help of JR Motorsports get a good feel for the car. She may not be my first choice to draft with for the race in February but when push-comes to shove, she will have a good car and as a team we’re going to have to look at her as a possible drafting partner. I just hope she understands how the draft works and how to use it appropriately when it’s go time. I think if she can go out there for the test and the race and learn, talk to the some of the experienced ARCA drivers and don’t do anything over her head, she’ll have a successful stockcar debut.

Finally, I’ve been listening, reading and hearing about all the controversy about Danica Patrick making the move to ARCA and NASCAR. Here’s my two cents. She is not afraid. She is coming here with an open-mind and if she makes it, she won’t be the first or the last to make the transition successfully. If she doesn’t make it, she at least tried and again, she won’t be the first nor the last to make a jump from another form of Motorsports and not succeed. Nonetheless, I wish her all the best.”

23-year old Patrick Sheltra is expected to return to the ARCA Racing Series on a full-time basis on the heels of three consecutive seasons of competition. His latest season included his first career-win at Salem Speedway in April after recovering from a serious injury in the season-opener at Daytona (Fla.) International Speedway in February. Sheltra went on to score four top-fives and eight top-10 finishes overall in 21 starts leading to a ninth place finish in the championship standings.

In total, Sheltra has accumulated 67 ARCA starts, one win, 10 top-fives and 22 top-10 finishes behind the wheel of his colorful No. 60 machine. The Sheltra Motorsports team has rotated the Chevrolet, Dodge and Toyota emblems during their short but impressive tenure.

For the third consecutive season, car owner and Mother Grace Sheltra has earned a place inside the top-10 in the final car owner points rundown. This year, Grace Sheltra was one of only three registered female owners to earn a check in the win column.

Sheltra, a native of Indiantown, Florida is anxiously preparing for an upcoming test at Daytona (Fla.) International Speedway later this month commented on the 2010 ARCA Racing Series presented by RE/MAX schedule.

Patrick Sheltra

SHELTRA: (ON TWENTY RACES IN 2010) “I don’t care if there is fifthteen, twenty or 35 races as long as the racing is justified and is beneficial to everyone including the fans, the teams and marketing partners. Overall, I think the ARCA teams should be very satisfied with what the sanctioning body has laid down especially during this tough economic time.”

SHELTRA: (ON THE ADDITION OF PALM BEACH INTERNATIONAL RACEWAY) “The addition of the road course at Palm Beach (Fla.) International Raceway is a big deal. It’s a big deal for several reasons. It’s by all counts a hometown event for me with it located just 15 minutes up the road from Indiantown and it’s also adds more momentum to the ARCA Series by adding a track of this caliber to their lineup. It’s going to be one of the most anticipated events of the year. I can promise you that.”

SHELTRA: (ON TALLADEGA REMAINING AN APRIL RACE) “I still have mixed feelings about that. I enjoy restrictor plate racing but to get both plate races out of the way so early in the season is a bummer for me. In 2008, we finished fifth there (Talladega) in October and it gave us some momentum for the final couple races. There is no doubt in my mind that our restrictor plate program will be top-notch. However, it was nice to have a “wild card” race like Talladega thrown into the mix near the end of the schedule.”

SHELTRA: (ON THE ADDITION OF TEXAS MOTOR SPEEDWAY) “Texas is going to be one of those nail biter races, I think. It’s a immensely fast track and I think the young-guns like myself are going to have to lean on the veterans like Frank Kimmel and Mark Gibson on how to get around there. This race has probably the potential to be one of the more exciting races of the year.”

Patrick Sheltra

SHELTRA: (ON DIRT RACING NEXT YEAR) “The ARCA Racing Series schedule would not be complete without racing on the dirt. I would like to think we can win those races next year. We’ve been so close but have come up short. The Sheltra Motorsports team has always giving me a strong car and we’ve run in the top-five and even the top-10 but we just haven’t been able to claim that checkered flag. I hope we’re able to change that stat in 2010. I was hoping we might get another dirt race on the schedule next year but I’ll take the two we have.”

SHELTRA: (ON RETURNING TO NEW JERSEY MOTORSPORTS PARK) “New Jersey Motorsports Park has become one of the nicest facilities on the ARCA scene. It’s a great place with great people who opened their arms to make us feel welcomed. We had a really good car there this year and had a top-10 finish. I think that the fans saw one of the best ARCA road-course races in history last year at New Jersey. It was a pretty clean race with a lot of intensity and action. I’m starting to get the hang of these road courses a little bit, so I would be lying if I said I didn’t enjoy racing on them.”

SHELTRA: (ON ENDING THE SEASON AT ROCKINGHAM SPEEDWAY) “It fits pretty nicely. We’ve had some success at the track and we’ve experienced some bad luck at “The Rock” but I cannot justify a better place to crown a Champion than at a track that empowers such a rich history. It’s a shame we’re not racing their twice next year but it’s definitely fitting and proper to close out the year at Andy Hillenburg’s track.”

SHELTRA: (ON THE DISSAPEARANCE OF KENTUCKY SPEEDWAY) “I feel like Kentucky Speedway was one of my better tracks on the ARCA scene. We were never really a threat to win but we were solid each and every time we unloaded. I know that the track has gone through some ownership changes and their racing window had shrunk considerably compared to prior years. We’ll miss racing in the “Bluegrass” state in 2010, but I hope it’s a track that returns to the ARCA lineup down the road.”

SHELTRA: (ON A RACE TRACK MISSING FROM THE 2010 ARCA RACING SERIES SCHEDULE) “I really wish we could get Winchester Speedway back on the tour. It’s a fun place to race and I think a lot of the drivers would agree with me. There is no other short track on the circuit that you can compare to Winchester Speedway; it’s just that powerful of a racetrack. I’m disappointed it’s not on the schedule but maybe down the road it will be and if I’m able to compete in the race, I will.”

LaCosta arrived in the deep isolation city of Dryden, whose stunning population without the Sheltra clan is a staggering 11 on Wednesday and was able to experience the Sheltra’s off-season activities before giving his meaning of “Thanks” on Thursday.

“The Sheltra’s are terrific people and I’m having a blast,” said LaCosta who will depart back to North Carolina on Saturday afternoon. “The entire Sheltra family is a blast around the racetrack any ways but to see their lives from a different prospective outside the racing scene truly shows how close of a family they are. I appreciate their hospitality and I’m hoping to be able to hang out with them away from the track more often.”

He added, “It’s very quiet out here, but it’s very relaxing. To experience all the different angles of wildlife like I have this week has truly been amazing. The memories here will last a lifetime.”

For Sheltra, a native of Indiantown, Florida, he’s equally enjoyed the company of LaCosta.

“Corey’s a blast,” said Sheltra, who will take a breather from Texas next weekend and head to Cincinnati, Ohio to be honored for his ninth-place championship finish this year. “We had a good number of entries for the Hunting Extravaganza, and I would like to thank everyone who placed an entry but for one of the winners to be Corey was a welcomed surprised. I appreciate what he has done for the teams in ARCA this year, especially ours. Now we’re giving back to him in our own Sheltra form. It’s just been a lot of fun!”

Ray Sasser, the other recipient of the Sheltra Motorsports Hunting Extravaganza will make his expedition before the Sheltra’s return to Florida in January.

The 23-year old Sheltra has 67 ARCA Racing Series presented by RE/MAX starts to his credit with one career victory at Salem Speedway (April 2009). During his ARCA tenure, Sheltra has accumulated 10 top-fives and posted 22 top-10 finishes.

Boasting an 11-turn, 2.034-mile design and FIA Grade II certified, PBIR’s state-of-the-art road course features some of the fastest and most challenging corners, elevation changes and straightaways offered by any track in North America and is currently approved as an IndyCar testing facility. Technologically superior, the road course showcases a seamless table-top smooth finish, full lighting, S.A.V.E. soft barriers and run-off areas.

Veteran ARCA driver and Florida native Patrick Sheltra commented on today’s announcement.

“I’m really excited about seeing the ARCA Racing Series presented by RE/MAX compete at Palm Beach International Raceway in 2010,” said Sheltra. “The track is located 15 minutes from my home in Indiantown (Florida), so it’s going to be an extra special event to me next year.”

He continued, “The ARCA Racing Series has continued to diversify themselves by returning road courses to the schedule in 2008 and adding a second road course event to the 2010 calendar only gives the series more strength. I’m going to do everything in my power to help promote the race for ARCA and the staff at Palm Beach International Raceway. I’m expecting one heck of a race!”

PBIR joins New Jersey Motorsports Park (Millville, New Jersey) as the second road-course event next year. Sheltra knocked off an impressive seventh place finish after qualifying eighth at the 2.3-mile NJMP Thunderbolt Course in September.

The 23-year old Sheltra has 67 ARCA Racing Series presented by RE/MAX starts to his credit with one career victory at Salem Speedway (April 2009).

The auction which ends on Wednesday, November 4 is live on EBay and can be accessed through the team’s web site at PatrickSheltra.com. The highest bidder will also receive a 2009 autograph card endorsed by Sheltra.

The Kimmie cares doll, book, from The Partners For A Cure Foundation address two critical and often overlooked issues for women with cancer – helping moms explain the effects of cancer to their small children, and helping both child and adult share their fears and feelings so they can remain close during this time of illness.

While many other organizations fund cancer research, donating money for equipment, new medicines and scientists’ salaries, the The Partners For A Cure Foundation takes a somewhat different approach. Proceeds generated from the sale of the Kimmie Cares doll as well as donations collected through other means are distributed not to scientists, but to individuals with cancer. PFACF helps patients who are struggling financially from the high costs of cancer treatment and related cancer care expenses.

Earlier this month, Sheltra and his Whitesville, Kentucky based team invaded Rockingham Speedway for the 2009 ARCA season finale with a new look and new attitude. Armed with a Toyota Camry and a camouflage pink machine the team had hoped to back up their second place finish in April at the one-mile oval but a mid-race incident relegated the team to a disappointing finish. Still, Sheltra climbed from his machine in his pink Buffalo Wings & Rings race uniform proud of the team’s effort of spreading the word about Breast Cancer.

The Sheltra Motorsports team through its association with TotalRaceBabe.com and Turn Two Marketing are also continuing to sell the “Together We Can Make A Difference” bracelets which create a slick appeal while raising awareness to one of the world’s most deadliest forms of cancer.

Turn Two Marketing will sell the bracelets for $15.00 a piece at the following souvenir trailers for the remainder of the 2009 NASCAR season. The bracelets will be on display and available for purchase through: 3M, Caterpillar (CAT), Crown Royal, Ford, General Mills (Cheerios), Jack Daniels and Michael Waltrip Racing (MWR).

The “Together We Can Make A Difference” bracelets are also available through the team’s web site or TotalRaceBabe.com through November 15.

Patrick Sheltra

The run in April was impressive to say the least. From practicing fifth to qualifying a career best third and then to lead laps and finish a close second to eventual winner Sean Caisse, Sheltra sees Sunday’s season finale as a chance of picking up right where he left off.

There will however be one noticeable change for the Sheltra Motorsports team. Well, two if you put color into the mix. Sheltra’s No. 60 will sport the Toyota Camry model for the second time this year and Sheltra will sport a camouflage pink Buffalo Wings & Rings ride in their effort to promote Breast Cancer Awareness through the Kimmie Cares group.

“It’s a big weekend for us,” said Sheltra of Sunday’s race. “I’m glad to be back at “The Rock” and to drive a Pink racecar is unique and definitely something new for my career but it’s for a great cause so I’m all for it.”

The loss of a loved one to Breast Cancer hits close to home especially within the Sheltra Motorsports and Buffalo Wings & Rings tier as fellow team member and Buffalo Wings & Rings franchisee owner Leonard Ranieri tragically lost his wife, Eliza Ranieri last October to the disease. The team is racing in her honor this weekend at Rockingham Speedway.

“This is a special weekend for Leonard,” added Sheltra, who will make his third career start at Rockingham Speedway this weekend. “We’ve been working on this project since July and I think we’ve put together something that we’re all proud of all the way around. I’m racing for many reasons this weekend but I’m hoping that we can pull off a win for Leonard and Eliza on Sunday.”

The team’s car comes from Germain Racing through the Hattori Racing Enterprises outfit which saw success with April Rockingham winner Sean Caisse at the helm. The Whitesville, Kentucky operation purchased the car earlier in the season and ran the Japanese automaker at Michigan International Speedway in June but succumbed to engine failure while running in the top-five.

Sheltra said, “The car we finished second with at Rockingham in April was caught up in a wreck this year and it just wasn’t feasible to put it back together for this race when we knew that this Toyota Camry has the capabilities of taking our team back to victory lane.”

The 23-year old rising phenom added, “We’re hoping for a much better outing this weekend with our Toyota. The Germain Racing bunch has absolutely went out of their way to help us prepare this car for this weekend’s race and to see us return to victory lane. Mike (Abner, Germain Racing) will be on hand to assist us this weekend again with the car, so hopefully we can pick up right where we left off in April.”

Occupying the eighth position in the ARCA RE/MAX Series point standings with just one race remaining, Sheltra knows that his season has seen its highs and lows but he is focusing on trying to maneuver his family-owned team into the fifth position, which is just 110 points behind his current position.

“Realistically, we still have a shot at fifth,” said Sheltra. “We cannot afford to have anything go wrong this weekend. I need to be smart behind the wheel and stay out of trouble during the race and be there for the final 50 laps. That’s my goal. Hopefully if all the cards play out we can be sitting in a better position than when we started when the checkered flag falls.”

Following Sunday’s season finale, Sheltra will auction off the uniform donated by Awesome Racewear with the proceeds going to Kimmie Cares in Eliza Ranieri’s honor.

Sheltra Motorpsorts Breast Cancer Awareness Logo

The Sheltra Motorsports team is used to having one of the most colorful cars on the track but this weekend serves a great purpose and the Indiantown, Florida native isn’t afraid of being stereotyped.

No. 60 Buffalo Wings & Rings-Kimmie Cares Toyota Camry Breast Cancer Awareness Layout

The Kimmie cares doll, book, from The Partners For A Cure Foundation address two critical and often overlooked issues for women with cancer – helping moms explain the effects of cancer to their small children, and helping both child and adult share their fears and feelings so they can remain close during this time of illness.

While many other organizations fund cancer research, donating money for equipment, new medicines and scientists’ salaries, the The Partners For A Cure Foundation takes a somewhat different approach. Proceeds generated from the sale of the Kimmie Cares doll as well as donations collected through other means are distributed not to scientists, but to individuals with cancer. PFACF helps patients who are struggling financially from the high costs of cancer treatment and related cancer care expenses.

The loss of a loved one to Breast Cancer hits close to home especially within the Sheltra Motorsports and Buffalo Wings & Rings tier as fellow team member and Buffalo Wings & Rings franchisee owner Leonard Ranieri tragically lost his wife, Eliza Ranieri last October to the disease. The team is racing in her honor this weekend at Rockingham Speedway.

The team has revamped their team logo while Buffalo Wings & Rings has added the traditional Breast Cancer ribbon around their logo for the month of October. The Buffalo Wings & Rings signage on the racecars will also boast the same layout.

To remember Eliza, the team has leaned on long-time Sheltra Motorsports supporter, totalracebabe.com who has created special “Together We Can Make A Difference” bracelets which are available to friends, family and associates who want to show their support of Breast Cancer. The bracelets are available now through Sunday, November 15th through the team’s website at PatrickSheltra.com or BuffaloWingsandRings.com and KimmieCares.com. A large percentage of each bracelet will be donated to Kimmie Cares through the Eliza Ranieri Foundation. Race fans will also have the opportunity to purchase the bracelets this weekend at Rockingham Speedway.

“This is a special weekend for Leonard,” added Sheltra, who finished second at Rockingham Speedway in April. “We’ve been working on this project since July and I think we’ve put together something that we’re all proud of all the way around. I’m racing for many reasons this weekend but I’m hoping that we can pull off a win for Leonard and Eliza on Sunday.”

Following Sunday’s season finale, Sheltra will auction off the uniform donated by Awesome Racewear with the proceeds going to Kimmie Cares in Eliza Ranieri’s honor.

In his final NASCAR Nationwide Series race of the year at Homestead-Miami Speedway next month, Sheltra is gunning to donate $25,000 dollars to Kimmie Cares between the “Together We Can Make A Difference” bracelets and the uniform auction.

- Sheltra Motorsports Press Release

Sheltra Motorpsorts Breast Cancer Awareness Logo

Reuniting with MacDonald Motorsports for the 29th race of the season, Sheltra had hopes of improving on a solid run at Daytona International Speedway in July that was also cut short after Sheltra was gobbled up in a multi-car incident.

After finishing 11th in the ARCA RE/MAX Series Kansas Lottery 150 on Thursday afternoon, the Indiantown, Florida native was looking to secure his first top-20 finish in his fourth career Nationwide run.

Practice on Friday proved to be beneficial for the David Ingram led team as Sheltra’s lap times remained consistent with Sheltra also picking up the pace in “Happy Hour” which landed the team comfortably inside the top-30.

In qualifying Saturday morning, Sheltra qualified 38th. While the starting position was disappointing, the 23-year old rising star was confident in his car’s capabilities for the 200-lap event.

Sheltra began climbing through the running order from the moment his Pat MacDonald owned Dodger Charger crossed the start-finish line heading into turn one. Unfortunately, by the time Sheltra exited turn two his neon-green and camouflage No. 81 machine was bouncing off the wall.

The full-time ARCA RE/MAX Series driver re-fired his machine and brought his car to the attention of Ingram and the MacDonald Motorsports team where they examined the mangled No. 81 Dodge and deemed the damage needed to be fixed in the garage.

An honorable repair effort by the MacDonald Motorsports team would prove to be null as upon further review it was determined that further damage that could not be fixed at the track was incurred. Sheltra would be credited with completing 18 laps.

“That stinks,” said Sheltra. “I just hate it for everyone on the team and our marketing partners Buffalo Wings & Rings and MC2 Energy Drink who made this race possible. We were hoping for a good day, I guess it just wasn’t meant to be.”

He added, “I just want to thank Randy and Pat MacDonald for the opportunity, David Ingram and the entire MacDonald Motorsports team for everything. I feel we made some positive gains from Daytona and hopefully we can go into the next race and have a nice rebound.”

The final planned race for Sheltra on the 2009 NASCAR Nationwide Series schedule is the season finale Ford 300 at Homestead-Miami Speedway on November 21. Sheltra claimed a solid 24th place finish in last year’s event driving the No. 4 Dodge Charger for Jay Robinson Racing. Sheltra will once again drive for MacDonald Motorsports.

Sheltra Motorpsorts Breast Cancer Awareness Logo

Both organizations have chosen Kimmie Cares, a foundation headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio as its official Breast Cancer Awareness Charity for the month of October.

The Kimmie cares doll, book, from The Partners For A Cure Foundation address two critical and often overlooked issues for women with cancer – helping moms explain the effects of cancer to their small children, and helping both child and adult share their fears and feelings so they can remain close during this time of illness.

While many other organizations fund cancer research, donating money for equipment, new medicines and scientists’ salaries, the The Partners For A Cure Foundation takes a somewhat different approach. Proceeds generated from the sale of the Kimmie Cares doll as well as donations collected through other means are distributed not to scientists, but to individuals with cancer. PFACF helps patients who are struggling financially from the high costs of cancer treatment and related cancer care expenses.

“This is just an incredible opportunity for Sheltra Motorsports,” said driver Patrick Sheltra. “Everyone knows someone or someone through a friend who is or has been diagnosed or even sadly died of Breast Cancer. While we can’t change what has happened to them we can try through exposure and events to make a difference. I’m proud that our race team has joined forces with Buffalo Wings & Rings through Kimmie Cares to spread the word. Believe me, we’re going to spend every waking moment over the next two months to try and make a difference.”

Charlie Francus, Marketing Manager of Buffalo Wings & Rings commented by saying, “We are proud to be a part of this outstanding effort with Sheltra Motorsports; Patrick Sheltra and Kimmie Caries to raise awareness and support the fight against Breast Cancer in the month of October.”

The loss of a loved one hits close to home especially within the Sheltra Motorsports and Buffalo Wings & Rings tier as fellow team member and Buffalo Wings & Rings franchisee owner Leonard Ranieri tragically lost his wife, Eliza Ranieri last October to the disease. The team is racing in her honor this weekend at Kansas Speedway as well as the ARCA RE/MAX Series season finale next weekend at Rockingham Speedway.

The team has revamped their team logo while Buffalo Wings & Rings has added the traditional Breast Cancer ribbon around their logo for the two month project. The Buffalo Wings & Rings signage on the racecars will also boast the same layout.

To remember Eliza, the team has leaned on long-time Sheltra Motorsports supporter, totalracebabe.com who has created special “Together We Can Make A Difference” bracelets which are available to friends, family and associates who want to show their support of Breast Cancer. The bracelets are available now through Sunday, November 15th through the team’s web site at PatrickSheltra.com or BuffaloWingsandRings.com and KimmieCares.com. A large percentage of each bracelet will be donated to Kimmie Cares through the Eliza Ranieri Foundation.

“Leonard is the man who brought Buffalo Wings & Rings to racing and for that we are forever grateful,” added Sheltra, who will make his first Nationwide Series start at Kansas Speedway this weekend. “He is a great friend to this team and I know that he is missing his wife greatly but he has told us from day one about how he wants to make a difference and spread awareness of Breast Cancer in her honor. Here’s our chance and we plan to have him involved in every step of the way.”

Additionally, the team will sport an all-pink camouflage No. 60 Buffalo Wings & Rings-Kimmie Cares Toyota Camry next weekend at Rockingham Speedway. Sheltra also has a special pink uniform from Awesome Racewear which he’ll auction off following the 21st race of the season with the proceeds also going to Kimmie Cares on behalf of the Eliza Ranieri Foundation.

“We’re remembering Eliza but we’re not forgetting the thousands of women who have or had Breast Cancer,” sounded Sheltra. “We’re also not forgetting about everyone else that has some form of Cancer. It’s an ugly disease and we just want them all to know that they’re all in our thoughts and prayers.”

The “Together We Can Make A Difference” bracelets will also be available for purchase for race fans in the Kansas City, Kansas area this weekend as totalracebabe.com has inked an agreement with Turn 2 Marketing to sell the bracelets at the following souvenir trailers this weekend at Kansas Speedway: 3M, CAT, Crown Royal, Ford, General Mills, Jack Daniels and NAPA.

The Kansas Lottery 150 (100 laps/150 miles) is the 20th of 21 events on the 2009 ARCA RE/MAX Series schedule. The ninth ARCA race held at Kansas is a one-day show.
