Kentucky Recap: Not even an early race spin and a  miscue on pit road could
stop veteran ARCA driver Patrick Sheltra from notching  his fifth top-10
finish of the season last Saturday night. After struggling in  practice and
qualifying, Sheltra in the No. 60 Buffalo Wings & Rings Dodge  Charger
utilized the Click  It Or Ticket. Buckle-Up Kentucky 150 to adjust his automobile
and powered his  way from inside the top-15 to a solid ninth finish in the
final 20 laps to  record his fourth top-10 finish at Kentucky Speedway in six
starts.
Buffalo  Wings & Rings Product Spotlight; Boneless Wings: Each week,
Sheltra  Motorsports will shine the spotlight on one of Buffalo Wings & Rings menu
 items. This week it’s the Buffalo Wings & Rings Boneless Wings. The
biggest  and baddest. Buffalo Wings & Rings starts with fresh chicken, never
frozen.  Their boneless wings are then hand breaded and cooked to perfection. Top
it off  with one of their nine signature sauce flavors, then select how
much heat you  want from one of their five temperature levels. With over 45
flavor and heat  combinations available, there are plenty of options to keep
you coming back!
A  Visit To The Great Lakes State: For  the third time in his ARCA RE/MAX
Series (ARS) career, Patrick Sheltra will  compete at Berlin Raceway. In his
inaugural debut Sheltra stormed to a  then-career best fourth place finish.
The effort was Sheltra’s first career  top-five finish in ARCA RE/MAX Series
competition. Last year, Sheltra wasn’t as  fortunate. After qualifying
eighth, Sheltra was heading towards the lead with a  rare parts failure resulted
in a overheating issue that led to a disappointing  26th place finish.

Welcoming The Coach To Sheltra  Motorsports: This  week Sheltra Motorsports
announced 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. 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.
Watcha  Haulin?: 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.
Points  Check: After  round 11 on the 2009 ARCA RE/MAX Series schedule,
Patrick Sheltra sits eighth in  the championship standings accumulating 2220
points. Just 170  points keeps Sheltra from the fourth  position. Sheltra is
635 markers from the top-spot. Car owner Grace Sheltra sits  10th in the car
owner standings.
Keeping The Streak  Alive: For 34 consecutive  races, Sheltra Motorsports
has fielded a car for Patrick Sheltra that run in the  top-10 (at one point
or another) for all events reverting back to the 2007 ARCA  RE/MAX 250 at
Talladega Superspeedway. The team added their 34th race  at Kentucky Speedway
by running as high as fourth and by finishing ninth. During  this period, the
team has amassed one win, nine top-fives and 19 top-10  finishes. The team’
s best qualifying effort occurred at Rockingham Speedway in  April where
Sheltra awarded himself with a career best run of third. The team  has led five
races at Rockingham Speedway (2009), Salem Speedway (2009) Kansas  Speedway
(2008), Cayuga Motor Speedway (2008), and Talladega Superspeedway  (2008),
for a total of 109 laps.

Sheltra Motorsports,  Berlin Raceway Pre-Race Quotes: Patrick Sheltra,
driver of the No. 60 Buffalo Wings  & Rings-Boatwerks Waterfront Restaurant
Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS:
On Kentucky  Speedway: “After  the past couple races last Saturday night
felt like a win. Obviously, we’ve  experienced victory lane so we know what it
really feels like but getting back  into the top-10 was a big relief.
Kentucky Speedway has been good to me and the  finish showed it again.�??
On Berlin Raceway: “Berlin Raceway is  one of my favorite short tracks. It’
s a unique and different place but it’s a  track I enjoy competing at. I
seriously want to get back in the top-five on  Saturday night and I would not
be surprised at all if we landed back in victory  lane.�??
On The Return Of  Boatwerks Waterfront Restaurant: “We’re super excited
to have Boatwerks Waterfront Restaurant back with our team this weekend at
Berlin Raceway. They have been a great supporter of Sheltra Motorsports.
Hopefully we can give them a great run because we didn’t give them the greatest
 finish last year.�??
On Ted Musgrave  Joining Sheltra Motorsports: “I think this is one of the
biggest steps we’ve ever made at Sheltra Motorsports. 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. He’s been to Berlin Raceway before, so that’
s a big plus.  Man, I can’t wait.�??
On Gaining Ground In  The Point Standings: “We knew that a good finish
would  help us in the points department. The pack from fourth to 10th is  really
tight and I’m sure it will remain tight the rest of the year. We just  have
to keep digging and we’ll be alright come year’s end.�??
Sheltra Motorsports,  Berlin Raceway: Grace Sheltra, owner of the
No. 60 Buffalo Wings  & Rings-Boatwerks Waterfront Restaurant Chevrolet
Monte Carlo SS:
On Kentucky  Speedway: “I’m  proud of the Sheltra Motorsports team. They
did a great job. We overcame  adversity and Patrick drove his butt off the
last 20 laps of the race. I think  the monkey is off our back and we can get
used to finishing back in the top-10.�??
On Berlin Raceway: “It’s  another short track race but Patrick is always
upbeat about going to Berlin. We  had a great run there in 2007 and a
frustrating run there last year. If history  repeats itself, Saturday night will be
another great night. A lot of eyes will  be on us this weekend with our
announcement this week, so I’m looking forward to  seeing how the team performs.
�??
On The Addition Of Ted Musgrave: “To  have someone of Ted Musgrave’s
caliber join our ARCA family is huge. We’ve  received so many calls and emails
since the announcement it really backs up our  decision to bring Ted to the
track as Patrick’s driving coach. I’m looking  forward to meeting him this
weekend.�??
