Patrick Sheltra Amped For Berlin; Boatwerks Waterfront Returns With Team
“NASCAR Veteran Ted Musgrave Joins Team As Driver Coach�??
MARNE, Michigan (July 23, 2009) - - On the heels of his fifth top-10
finish of the season last Saturday night at Kentucky Speedway, Patrick Sheltra
heads to Berlin (Mi.) Raceway amped up with a new attitude and a familiar
marketing partner back on board for the Wolverine Power Systems 200
presented by Generac.
_Boatwerks Waterfront Restaurant_ (http://www.boatwerksrestaurant.com/)
will return as a marketing partner covering the quarter panels on the No. 60
Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS in Sheltra’s third career start at the .4-mile
short track. Buffalo Wings & Rings, the team’s primary marketing partner will
remain on the hood and television panel for their first tango with the
legendary short track.
Sitting on the shores of Lake Macatawa and being downtown Holland’s only
waterfront restaurant, _Boatwerks Waterfront Restaurant_
(http://www.boatwerksrestaurant.com/) offers family friendly casual dining, waterfront views,
indoor and outdoor dining, banquet facilities, catering services and a
convenient full menu takeout.
_Boatwerks Waterfront Restaurant_ (http://www.boatwerksrestaurant.com/) ’s
mission has always been about creating an atmosphere that reminds their
patrons of simpler times, vacations on the lake and carefree summer days.
_Boatwerks Waterfront Restaurant_ (http://www.boatwerksrestaurant.com/) and
their chefs buy the best ingredients, use time tested methods and expert
craftsmanship, avoid shortcuts, trends and fads in preparing your meals. The
focus is placed on preparing phenomenal food, creating a fun and friendly
atmosphere inside and out.
“We’re heading to Berlin with some steam,�?? said Sheltra. “We had a solid
run last weekend at Kentucky and now we have _Boatwerks Waterfront
Restaurant_ (http://www.boatwerksrestaurant.com/) back on-board for their second
year in a row at Berlin, so I’m pretty ecstatic.�??
While Sheltra is a fan of the unique Berlin Raceway, the Whitesville,
Kentucky team is looking for a rebound at the track this weekend. After
notching his first career ARCA RE/MAX Series top-five finish at Berlin 2007,
Sheltra qualified in the top-10 last year before succumbing to overheating
issues 50 laps into last year’s event.
This year, Sheltra returns to Berlin looking to make up for last year and
take his team back to victory lane for the second time this season.
“We had a rare parts failure last year which took us out of the hunt,�??
recalled Sheltra. “We haven’t had that same problem since but I feel I still
have some unfinished business there. Hopefully, we can take care of it
this weekend.�??
With his fourth top-10 at Kentucky Speedway in six races, Sheltra
maintains eighth in the ARCA RE/MAX Series championship standings but inches closer
to returning to the top-five. Sheltra sees Berlin Raceway as an event
where points can be gained but easily lost too.
“Using your head is a big priority this weekend,�?? said Sheltra. “It’s a
tight place. Pit road is extremely tight. You can beat and bang around a
little but if you don’t have the car in good shape and if you’re not
handling well, you won’t be finishing in the top-10. We need to build on last
weekend’s finish and keep the momentum on our side.�??
Crew Chief John Hayden has elected to use Sheltra Motorsports Chassis No.
4 this weekend at Berlin Raceway. This is the same piece the team raced to
a fourth place finish at Berlin 2007. The former Robert Yates Racing (RYR)
piece has three top-10 finishes with two straight top-10 finishes on the
dirt two years ago. The Ford Fusion turned Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS has
finished inside the top-20 in all but one of its seven previous events. Chassis
number 5 will serve as the team’s back-up automobile. That former Joe Gibbs
Racing entry is the same automobile that Sheltra rocketed to his first
victory at Salem Speedway in April.
For just the second time this season, the team will utilize a Chevrolet
Monte Carlo SS as it’s primary manufacturer of choice.
In other team news, Sheltra Motorsports announced this week that NASCAR
veteran Ted Musgrave will join the veteran ARCA team at Berlin Raceway acting
as a driver coach for the dirt late model ace. 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.
Before Sheltra turns his concentration over to the 12th event on the 2009
ARCA RE/MAX Series schedule, Sheltra will sign autographs at _Boatwerks
Waterfront Restaurant_ (http://www.boatwerksrestaurant.com/) on Friday, July
24th from 5:00-7:00 p.m. _Boatwerks Waterfront Restaurant_

Michigan. For additional information, please call 616.396.0600.

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
