Patrick Sheltra Eyeing Salem Sweep For Team; Buffalo Wings & Rings

Patrick Sheltra Eyeing Salem Sweep For Team;  Buffalo Wings & Rings 
SALEM, Indiana (September 17,  2009) - - Without  hesitation, April 5, 2009 
was one of the greatest days of ARCA RE/MAX Series  driver Patrick Sheltra’
s life. After surviving and recovering from a vicious  incident in the 
season-opener at Daytona International Speedway, Sheltra  returned to the seat at 
the very next race at Salem Speedway and stormed to his  first career 
victory in his third year of competition.  
And with the ARCA RE/MAX Series  returning to the half-mile short track for 
it’s annual fall retreat, Sheltra is  aiming high and preparing to conquer 
the Salem sweep and put his No. 60 Buffalo Wings  & Rings Dodge Charger back 
in victory circle.  
 
“Salem Speedway was always one of  my favorite race tracks but after the 
win at Salem, it will forevermore be a place that I  will never forget. While 
it’s great going back to the track this weekend knowing  that I’m the most 
recent winner; I’m focused on proving that we can win again –  and I think 
we can do it easily on Saturday night.�??  
Oddly enough, you would think that  the Whitesville, Kentucky team would 
want to race the same Dodge Charger that  propelled the team to stardom but 
the John Hayden led organization hasn’t raced  the car since the second event 
of the season despite utilizing the machine as a  back-up car for several 
races this year.  
“For most of the year, we’ve  tucked this car way in a corner,�?? added 
Sheltra. “This car is so special to this  team; we did not want to take any 
unnecessary risks of ruining it.  I know that we have a great setup that  should 
allow us to be just as fast if not faster than we were here in April this  
weekend.�?? 
The 23-year old continued,  “Salem was our  first race with Buffalo Wings & 
Rings and we were able to celebrate with  them in one of the greatest 
places in racing, victory lane. Since then, we’ve  been honored to hoist their 
logo and make all the wonderful people there apart  of our family all year. 
The support we’ll have from them this weekend will be  tremendous and I hope we
’re able to complete the Salem sweep Saturday night.�??   
The Indiantown, Florida native will make  his sixth career Salem Speedway 
start Saturday night and look for not only his  second victory but look to 
tie his record for the number of top-10 finishes in a  single season. With 
three races left including Saturday night’s anticipated  thriller – Sheltra 
should easily match that record and then some.   
“Always improving your record is  good but that’s not primarily our focus. 
Right now, we want to win Salem. I want to win again  for a bunch of 
reasons. I know John (Hayden, crew chief) and the guys are pumped  up about going 
back – so I’m just ready to get the party started again.�??   
After  finishing seventh in last weekend’s Road Course event at New Jersey 
Motorsports Park, Sheltra has moved back into the  seventh position in the 
ARCA RE/MAX Series championship standings and still has  an arms reach of 
claiming fifth. With just three events remaining, 135 points  separate Sheltra 
from marching into the top-five. “It’s not going to be a easy  but we are 
definitely capable of finishing strong at Salem, Kansas and  Rockingham and 
if we give nothing less than 150 percent we should be able to  walk away from 
another year of ARCA racing with our best point’s finish ever,�??  concluded 
Sheltra.  
Crew  Chief John Hayden has elected to bring Sheltra Motorsports Chassis 
No. 5 this  weekend at Salem Speedway. This is the same piece the team roared 
to victory  lane at Salem in  April. It’s also the same automobile the team 
finished 11th with last  Spring. The former Joe Gibbs Racing chassis will be 
run for ninth time in  Sheltra’s career. Chassis No. 4 will serve as the 
team’s back-up automobile.  This is the same piece the team competed with at 
Berlin Raceway and Toledo  Speedway this year. It’s also responsible for 
Sheltra’s first career top-five  run, a fourth at Berlin Raceway in 2007.  
Entering  Salem, Sheltra  has 64 ARCA RE/MAX Series starts to his credit 
with one career victory at Salem  Speedway (April 2009). During his ARCA 
tenure, Sheltra has accumulated 10  top-fives and posted 22 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 Kentuckiana  Ford Dealers ARCA Fall Classic (200 laps/111 miles)  is 
the 19th of 21 events on the 2009 ARCA RE/MAX Series schedule. The  83rd ARCA 
race held at Salem is a one-day show. Practice  begins Saturday, September 
19 with an hour and a half practice session planned  from 1:05 p.m. - 2:35 
p.m. Menards Pole by Ansell qualifying is set for later in  the day slated to 
begin at 4:00 p.m. The event will  take the green flag shortly after 7:15
