Sheltra Motorsports Announces Dodge ARCA Schedule Heading Into Kansas

Sheltra Motorsports Announces  Dodge ARCA Schedule Heading Into Kansas  

“Aaron’s Outdoors To Adorn Hood Of  No. 60 Dodge Charger�?? 
WHITESVILLE, Kentucky (April 22,  2008) - - Sheltra  Motorsports, a 
professional three-tier Motorsports operation announced today  it’s plan to run a Dodge 
Charger in a minimum of 10 ARCA RE/MAX Series events  this season beginning 
with the fourth race of the season at Kansas Speedway on  Friday, April 25, 
2008. 
In addition to the new nameplate,  Sheltra Motorsports also unveiled a new 
paint scheme bringing a unique  camouflage look to the ARCA scene.  
Starting with Kansas Speedway this  weekend, Sheltra Motorsports and driver 
Patrick Sheltra plan to run the Dodge  emblem in nine other events consisting 
of Kentucky Speedway (May and July),  Pocono Raceway (June and August), 
Michigan International Speedway (June),  Nashville Superspeedway (August), Illinois 
State Fairgrounds (August), DuQuoin  State Fairgrounds (September) and 
Chicagoland Speedway (September).   
During the off-season, Sheltra  Motorsports purchased three Dodge Chargers 
from North Carolina’s Penske Racing while also  transforming one of the team’s 
Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS to a Dodge Charger.   
RC Consultants, a longtime engine  builder in ARCA competition has partnered 
with the Whitesville, Kentucky based operation  to provide the horsepower for 
the season. In the past, RC Consultants has  provided engines for nine-time 
ARCA RE/MAX Series champion Frank Kimmel, Jason  Jarrett (ML Motorsports) and 
Matt Hagans. RC Consultants helped power Jason  Jarrett to his first career ARCA 
victory in the sanction’s inaugural debut at  Kansas Speedway in 2001.  
“I’m very excited about running a  Dodge Charger this year in ARCA 
competition,�?? said Sheltra, who will make his  29th career ARCA start when he takes the 
green flag in a Dodge at  Kansas Speedway. “The Dodges have been very 
competitive in the ARCA RE/MAX  Series over the past few years; which led us in their 
direction. We are  convinced that their track record will continue to stand 
this year.�??   
Sheltra added, “Our crew is very  confident in what we think the Chargers are 
capable of. They have not won the  ARCA RE/MAX Series manufacturer’s 
championship the past two seasons for  finishing second. We believe we can win in a 
Dodge and we’re looking forward to  “Grabbing Life By The Horns.�??  
Car Owner Grace Sheltra offered,  “When the opportunity was presented to us 
to expand our fleet to include Dodges,  we could not turn it down. Dodge has 
enjoyed a healthy amount of success in the  ARCA RE/MAX Series and we’re looking 
for the same type of results at Sheltra  Motorsports. We’re very happy with 
the equipment we’ve acquired and our  affiliation with RC Consultants speaks 
for itself. We’re looking forward to  helping Dodge continue their winning 
tradition in ARCA this year.�??
