Patrick Sheltra Amped For Berlin; Boatwerks Waterfront Returns With Team

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

Michigan. For additional information, please call 616.396.0600.
Entering  Berlin, Sheltra 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
