NASCAR Veteran Ted Musgrave Heads
To Berlin Raceway With Sheltra Motorsports
“2005 NASCAR Camping World Truck Champion To Mentor Sheltra�??
WHITESVILLE, Kentucky (July 23, 2009) - - Officials from Sheltra
Motorsports announced today that NASCAR veteran Ted Musgrave has joined the veteran
ARCA RE/MAX Series (ARS) team as a driver coach for Indiantown, Florida
native Patrick Sheltra beginning with Saturday night’s Wolverine Power Systems
200 presented by Generac at Berlin (Mi.) Raceway.
A familiar face at the racetrack, Musgrave, the 2005 NASCAR Camping World
Truck Series (NCWTS) Champion will act as a mentor to the 23-year old
rising star as Sheltra progresses through his third year of ARCA competition.
Musgrave, a native of Franklin, Wisconsin has over 18 years of experience
combined between the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, NASCAR Nationwide
Series and NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. In 518 starts, he has 17 wins, 101
top-five finishes and 176 top-10s. The former IROC driver won the NCWTS driver’
s championship in 2005 driving for Ultra Motorsports.
Musgrave will work with “Mr. Showtime�?? on all the aspects of racing
hoping to guide Sheltra back towards the front in the ARCA RE/MAX Series
championship chase and most importantly victory lane.
The relationship with Musgrave came about through a familiar source to
Sheltra Motorsports. Germain Racing, a full-time competitor in the NCWTS
suggested the team work with their 2006 truck driver. Additional recommendations
came through Germain Racing’s current driver and 2006 NCWTS Champion Todd
Bodine and members of Brian Scott’s Xpress Motorsports team. Sheltra
Motorsports and Germain Racing partnered together for the Racing for Wildlife 200
at Michigan International Speedway in June.
“I think this is one of the biggest steps we’ve ever made at Sheltra
Motorsports,�?? said driver Patrick Sheltra. “Ted is no doubt qualified to be a
driver coach. His credentials speak for themselves. He’s been around racing
a long time and I think he can come to the race track and really help me
get into a rhythm. There’s no doubt we have a great team, we’re just
looking for that extra push and I think Ted’s the answer. I had the opportunity
to talk to him earlier this week and he sounds just as excited as I am. He’s
been to Berlin Raceway before, so that’s a big plus. I’m looking forward
to getting to Berlin on Saturday.�??
He added, “I want to thank Germain Racing, Mike Hillman Sr., Mike Hillman
Jr., Todd Bodine and Xpress Motorsports for all of their recommendations
and support of our race team. It really means the world to me.�??
Sheltra, driver of the No. 60 Buffalo Wings & Rings-Boatwerks Waterfront
Restaurant Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS has 57 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 19 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.
