MARNE, August 4, 2010: On the heels of Patrick Sheltra’s ninth top-10 finish in last Saturday’s Weis Markets 125 at Pocono (Pa.)

Raceway.

Today’s announcement continues a three year relationship between the two corporations as Sheltra returns to Berlin (Mich.) Raceway looking for his 10th top-10 of the year and first top-10 since earning his very first ARCA Racing Series presented by RE/MAX and Menards top-five finish of fourth in his inaugural season in 2007.

Sitting on the shores of Lake Macatawa and being downtown Holland’s only waterfront restaurant, Boatwerks Waterfront Restaurant offers family friendly casual dining, waterfront views, indoor and outdoor dining, banquet facilities, catering services and a convenient full menu takeout.

There commitment and loyalty to this team at Berlin represents their willingness to promote our team and ARCA in their backyard. Hopefully, we can have a good night and take them to victory lane.”

Sheltra continued, “our short track program has been pretty stout this despite the hiccups we’ve faced. I like Berlin. It’s a neat racetrack and one that definitely keeps you on your toes. The track has some sentimental value to me when I finished fourth there in 2007. That was my first top-five, so at the time, it felt like a win. I have good vibes about this weekend, so I’m pretty ecstatic.”
