Patrick Sheltra Returns To  MacDonald Motorsports For Kansas  

“Buffalo Wings & Rings; MC2  Energy Drink To Sponsor No. 81 Entry�?? 
THOMASVILLE,  North Carolina (September 28, 2009) - - Officials  from 
Sheltra Motorsports announced today that ARCA RE/MAX Series veteran driver  
Patrick Sheltra will reunite with MacDonald Motorsports and return to the  
cockpit of the No. 81 Buffalo Wings & Rings-MC2 Energy Drink Dodge Charger  for 
Saturday’s NASCAR Nationwide Series (NNS) event at Kansas Speedway.   
Sheltra,  a native of Indiantown, Florida will make his fourth career NNS 
start and second  of the season. In July, the 23-year old made his return to 
Daytona International  Speedway since surviving a catastrophic accident in 
the ARCA season opener in  February. Sheltra posted a career best qualifying 
effort only to be knocked out  in a mid-race incident while running in the 
top-15.  
Buffalo  Wings & Rings and Sheltra Motorsports’s newest marketing partner 
MC2 Energy  Drink will take the reins of primary marketing partners for the 
Kansas Lottery  300.  
“I’m  excited and thankful about getting another shot in a Nationwide car 
this  weekend,�?? said Sheltra, who will have a double-duty weekend while 
competing in  the ARCA RE/MAX Series Kansas Lottery 150 on Thursday. “I 
appreciate the support  of MacDonald Motorsports, Buffalo Wings & Rings and MC2 
Energy Drink for  stepping up to the plate to make this possible.�??  
Sheltra  will make his inaugural NASCAR debut at Kansas but the racing 
phenom pulled  together a very competitive eighth place finish in last year’s 
ARCA RE/MAX  Series event which included his first laps of controlling the 
field.   
“I am  shooting for a top-20 finish this weekend,�?? offered Sheltra. “This 
is the same  car we raced at Homestead-Miami Speedway last year and we were 
able to come away  with a solid top-25 run, so I’m hoping for a little bit 
more this  weekend.�?? 
MacDonald  Motorsports crew chief David Ingram will call the shots for 
Sheltra with 2005  NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Champion Ted Musgrave 
serving as Sheltra’s  driving coach. Seven additional members of the Sheltra 
Motorsports clan will  also pull double duty this weekend and assist the 
MacDonald Motorsports team on  race day for the 29th race of the season.  
“I  enjoyed working with David (Ingram) at Daytona even though it was a 
whole  different ball game,�?? Sheltra sounded. “David will be on-hand for the 
ARCA race  on Thursday so I think him sitting on top of the pit box with my 
ARCA team will  benefit us Saturday.�?? 
Sheltra  continued, “It’s been amazing spending the last couple months 
with Ted. He has  really helped me mature as a driver and I think with his 
guidance our goal of  finishing in the top-20 is feasible.�??  
The  event will mark the first time that Buffalo Wings & Rings, Sheltra’s 
primary  marketing partner in the ARCA RE/MAX Series will adorn the hood for 
a NASCAR  event. The fastest-growing privately owned  franchised chain of 
restaurants in the nation served as an associate marketing  partner at 
Daytona.  
In addition, MC2 Energy Drink will  spawn its first NASCAR run with the 
dirt late model ace on Saturday afternoon.  The team’s No. 81 entry will look 
identical to Sheltra’s half-neon and  half-camouflage ARCA machine to be run 
on Thursday.  
“To run identical cars at Kansas  this weekend is big and really cool,�?? 
Sheltra responded. “However to have the  opportunity to bring Buffalo Wings & 
Rings along and grasp the opportunity  to work with MC2 is even bigger. I’m 
just hoping to do everyone a good job and  bring home a finish we all can be 
proud of.�??   
Sheltra,  nicknamed “Mr. Showtime�?? for his unique and thrilling driving 
style has been  spending the 2009 season competing full-time in the ARCA 
RE/MAX Series.  Currently, after 19 races, he sits eighth in points with one win, 
four top-fives  and eight top-10 finishes. Sheltra recorded his first 
career win in the second  race of the season at Salem Speedway after recovering 
from his injuries from  Daytona International Speedway in February.
