Kentuckiana  Ford Dealers 200 presented by ApplianceZone.com Fast  Facts 

ARCA Racing Series  Race No. 3, Kentuckiana  Ford Dealers 200 presented by 
ApplianceZone.com, Salem Speedway,  Salem, Indiana  
Race Information:  Event: Kentuckiana  Ford Dealers 200 presented by 
ApplianceZone.com, Sunday, April 11 at  2:15 p.m. Local Time Track: Salem Speedway 
Qualifying: Saturday,  April 10, at 3:30 p.m. Local Time Track Length: 
.5-mile  paved-oval. 
Palm Beach Recap: After mounting a  top-five finish in the 2010 ARCA Racing 
Series season opener at Daytona (Fla.)  International Speedway in early 
February, Sheltra and his Sheltra Motorsports  posse headed back south to the 
trenches of Jupiter, Florida for the first ever  trip to Palm Beach 
International Raceway (PBIR) a new road course added to the  tour. In the treks of 
his hometown Indiantown, Florida, Sheltra qualified  12th and survived his 
first ever stock car race in the rain to finish  10th.  
It Happened Here;  One Year Ago: Last April (2009),  Sheltra climbed back 
behind the wheel of his Grace Sheltra owned automobile to  compete in an ARCA 
Racing Series event since a near-career ending incident at  Daytona (Fla.) 
International Speedway earlier that year. Recovering from  injuries that 
included a compressive fracture of his vertebrae and a dislocated  kneecap, 
Sheltra showed the accident never fazed him as he qualified a then  career-best 
of fourth, led 84 laps en-route to his first career ARCA Racing  Series 
victory at the southern Indiana race track. Sheltra called the win a true  
example of a Cinderella story.  
Welcome Back Buffalo  Wings & Rings: Recently, Sheltra  Motorsports and 
Buffalo Wings & Rings announced that the two would reunite  for four upcoming 
ARCA Racing Series events beginning with Sunday’s contest at  Salem Speedway. 
Known for its “Great Food; No Bull!�?? campaign, Buffalo Wings  & Rings is 
the fastest-growing privately owned franchised chain of  restaurants in the 
nation serving Buffalo-style chicken wings, onion rings,  burgers, gyros, 
wraps and salads. And the only wing establishment in the country  with a unique 
saucing system, customers of BWR get to choose from 45 different  sauce 
combinations. Founded in 1984 in Cincinnati, Ohio, Buffalo Wings &  Rings 
operates 56 franchised restaurants in the United States. Buffalo  Wings & Rings 
was ranked the No. 1 fastest growing restaurant chain  nationwide in the July 
2008 issue of Restaurant Business, and ranked in the top  500 franchises in 
the January 2009 issue of  Entrepreneur.  
Salem Lowdown: For  the seventh time in his ARCA Racing Series presented by 
RE/MAX and Menards  career, Patrick Sheltra will take the green flag at 
Salem Speedway. The 23-year  old driver has five top-15 finishes including a 
win and three 11th  place finishes. Sheltra’s worst finish at Salem occurred 
last September where he  finished 16th after starting 10th. His best time 
trials  effort came last April when he knocked out a fourth place qualifying 
effort. He  has also controlled the field for 84 laps around the legendary 
oval in his six  previous starts.  
Patrick Sheltra ARCA  Career At-A-Glance: Entering  Salem, Sheltra has 69 
ARCA Racing Series presented by RE/MAX and Menards starts  to his credit with 
one career victory at Salem Speedway (April 2009). During his  ARCA tenure, 
Sheltra has accumulated 11 top-fives and posted 24 top-10 finishes.  A 
third place qualifying effort at Rockingham (N.C.) Speedway (April 2009) is  
Sheltra’s best time trials efforts to date. He has controlled the ARCA field  
five times for 109 laps.

Nice Stat: So  far in 2010, Sheltra is joined by only one other driver who 
has scored two  top-10 finishes in both races this season. With the ARCA 
Racing Series pro fifth  place finish at Daytona, and 10th place performance at 
Palm Beach,  Steve Arpin is the only other competitor who has also finished 
inside the top-10  in the two of 20 events so far this season.  
Point’s Check: Two  races down, 18 to go, Sheltra with the guidance of crew 
chief Jon Wolfe sits  fourth in the ARCA Racing Series championship 
standings just 35 markers behind  current leader Justin Marks. Just five points 
separate the Indiantown, Florida  native from second place currently occupied 
by Robb Brent and Steve Arpin.  Mother and car owner Grace Sheltra locks the 
fourth position in the ARS car  owner standings, just 35 credits from the 
top-spot held by Kevin Cywinski (No.  32).

Sheltra Motorsports,  Salem Speedway Pre-Race Quotes: Patrick Sheltra, 
driver of the No. 60 Buffalo  Wings & Rings Dodge Charger:  
On Palm Beach  International Raceway: “For  never having raced in the rain 
before, I felt like we had a good run. The entire  race was very competitive 
and I was really impressed with the way the field  handled the wet 
conditions. It was probably one of the best ARCA Racing Series  events I was apart 
of. A 10th place finish in the rain and on a road  course, I’ll take it.�?? 
On Returning To  Salem Speedway: “Without  a doubt, Salem is one of my 
favorite races on the circuit. The track is really  rough but that is what makes 
that place so great. I have a good feeling about  this weekend. The same 
feeling I had last year.�?? 
On Going For  Back-To-Back Victories: “I  want to win again so bad, it is 
not even funny. Our guys have been working hard  in the shop and I have been 
preaching to them about how cool a race at Salem  really is for those who 
have never been there. We’re going there (Salem) with  some momentum, so I’m 
just looking forward to seeing what Sunday brings!�??   
On The Return Of  Buffalo Wings & Rings: “The  return of Buffalo Wings & 
Rings as a marketing partner with Sheltra  Motorsports is very important to 
me. It’s a great place to eat and the people  with BWR are just incredible to 
work with. We’re going to have a huge cheering  section on Sunday and that’
s just the type of support we need to return to  victory lane!�?? 
On Points: “We’re  sitting comfortable right now. Our goal this weekend is 
to escape Salem with the  point’s lead. I feel like if we can keep a good 
head on our shoulders and race  smart, we’ll be around all season long and be 
able to capture the championship  crown in October. I know it can be a 
little too early to be thinking about  point’s, but these races are going to fly 
by here soon – so we have to really  look at them whether we really want to 
or not.�?? 
Sheltra Motorsports,  Salem Speedway Pre-Race Quotes: Grace Sheltra, owner 
of the No. 60 Buffalo Wings  & Rings Dodge Charger:  
On Palm Beach  International Raceway: “It  was a lot of fun to race in our 
back yard with the family and friends in-toe.  Patrick and the team did a 
fantastic job given all of the obstacles the weather  gave the teams. We’re 
off to the best start ever in racing and I couldn’t be  happier about it.�?? 
On Salem Speedway: “There’s  no describing how it felt to be in victory 
lane last April. It was one of those  experiences that you will never forget. 
I love short track racing but Salem has  become one of my favorite race 
tracks not just because of the win. The weather  should be great which should 
yield a good show for everyone on  Sunday.�?? 
On The Early Season  Success: “We’re  very happy with the direction of the 
team right now. We made a big move in the  off-season to North Carolina. 
The team has really gelled well together and it’s  showing on the track. I’m 
looking forward to seeing what the rest of the season  brings.�??
