No Relaxing For Patrick Sheltra

ā€œNo Vacation For Mr. Showtime; Staying Plenty Busyā€???
INDIANTOWN, Florida (June 26, 2009) - - Even with a couple weeks break
from ARCA RE/MAX Series competition following last Saturday's Tim Richmond
Memorial at Mansfield, veteran driver Patrick Sheltra is on the move. From
working for his family-owned company to making a special appearance for his
marketing partner Buffalo Wings & Rings, there has been no rest for Sheltra,
who's also making plans to test at Iowa Speedway this Tuesday.
"Mr. Showtime" will head to Newton, Iowa on Monday to prepare for the ARCA
RE/MAX Series open test on Tuesday, June 30.
However, before Sheltra packs his bags for Iowa, he'll make a pitstop in
Richmond, Indiana for a party at the local Buffalo Wings & Rings restaurant
owned by Leonard Ranieri who is responsible for bringing the growing and
likeable restaurant chain on-board full-time to the Sheltra Motorsports team.

"I don't mind spending my off weekend with Leonard and his crew," said
Sheltra. "I can't wait to get there. He (Leonard) is a great person and the
entire team considers him family. He took a chance on us and I think we are
making the best of it. He is a smart businessman and a good spokesperson for
Buffalo Wings & Rings but more importantly he's a big race fan. I know
he's the one responsible for putting this great relationship together. I can't
thank him enough."
The event will have the No. 60 Buffalo Wings & Rings Dodge Charger show
car on display, music, great food, an autograph session and even a raffle to
give away two tickets to the ARCA RE/MAX Series race at Salem Speedway in
September. The event will lift off at 4:00 p.m. and is scheduled to end at
9:00 p.m. local time.
Ranieri's first ARCA RE/MAX Series race was earlier this year at Salem
Speedway, where Sheltra, in his first race back since his horrific crash in
the Daytona opener, raced his way to his career-first series victory.
Meanwhile, back at the team's shop in Whitesville, Kentucky, the Sheltra
Motorsports team is busy preparing a Dodge Charger for the Iowa open test.

The third-year ARCA team originally wasn't planning to attend the open
test but with the cancellation of the ARCA event at Cayuga Motor Speedway this
weekend, the team adjusted its schedule.
"I'm glad we're testing Iowa," Sheltra added. "We've run good there but
not great. We're in a little hole right now with our finishes at Michigan and
Mansfield, so we need to get back on track, and what better way to do that
with a successful test and an even better race. Hopefully the monkey will
be off our back."
As for the 23-year-old's July 4th holiday plans? "I'll be busy. I know
that. I'm just hoping to have a lot of fun and spend the time with some great
people."
Sheltra has 55 ARCA RE/MAX Series starts to his credit with one career
victory at Salem Speedway (April 2009). During his ARCA tenure, Sheltra has
accumulated nine top-fives and posted 18 top-10 finishes. A third place
qualifying effort at Rockingham Speedway (April 2009) is Sheltraā€™s best time
trials efforts to date. He has controlled the ARCA field five times for 109
laps.
