Patrick Sheltra Off To Solid Start At Pocono Raceway

Patrick Sheltra Off To Solid  Start At Pocono Raceway  

LONG  POND, Pennsylvania (July 30, 2010) - - Patrick  Sheltra in the No. 60 
Recycling Services / Ferguson Pipe Toyota Camry placed  seventh in the lone 
practice session Friday morning leading up to tomorrow’s  Weis Markets 125 
at Pocono (Pa.) Raceway, round 11 of 20 on the 2010 ARCA Racing  Series 
presented by RE/MAX and Menards schedule.  
Under  the direction of crew chief Jon Wolfe, Sheltra, the 24-year old ARCA 
pro was one  of the first drivers to tackle the track nicknamed “The Tricky 
Triangle�?? when  the track opened for practice. Immediately, “Mr. Showtime�?? 
stormed his Sheltra  Motorsports machine to the front by posting the fourth 
quickest lap.   
After  some routine chassis adjustments, Wolfe and his Mooresville, North 
Carolina  based operation returned the Indiantown, Florida native back to the 
speed plant  where Sheltra advanced to second in the pylon before his other 
competitors made  their simulated qualifying runs which saw the No. 60 
machine eventually  backslide to seventh.  
 
Sheltra  ran a total of 21 laps around the 2.5-mile triangle posting his 
fastest lap in  55.051 seconds or 163.485 miles per hour. 40 of the scheduled 
41 starters took  practice laps around the Long Pond racecourse under 
spectacular weather  conditions, setting the stage for the 51st ARCA race run at 
the  facility following the inaugural Pocono Mountains 125 NASCAR Camping 
World Truck  Series event tomorrow afternoon. 
“We’re  good,�?? said Sheltra, who enters this weekend’s race fourth in the 
ARCA Racing  Series championship standings. “We’re working on dialing in 
our car a little  more and hoping to have an advantage for the race tomorrow 
that will take us to  victory lane.�??  
Sheltra,  who will make ninth career start at Pocono tomorrow added, “We’
re going to tweak  some things and do a thorough inspection on our Toyota 
Camry and hopefully it  will be the extra nudge that will not only help us in 
qualifying but give us a  good baseline for the race tomorrow. It’s (race) 
going to be a quick one with  only 50 laps scheduled, so we have to be right 
the moment that green flag  drops.�?? 
Earlier  Friday morning, the team drew the 37th slot for Menards Pole by  
Ansell qualifying set for 1:40 p.m. this afternoon. Sheltra will look to 
eclipse  his best career starting position at Pocono of sixth which occurred 
seven weeks  ago in June.
