NASCAR Veteran Ted Musgrave Heads To Berlin Raceway With Sheltra Motorsports

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.
The Wolverine Power Systems 200  presented by Generac  (200 laps / 88
miles) is the 12th of 21 events on the 2009 ARCA  RE/MAX Series schedule. The
