Patrick Sheltra Amped For Berlin  Raceway Challenge  

“With Boatwerks Waterfront Back On  Board; Sheltra Hopes To Float To Victory
�?? 
MARNE, Michigan (August 5, 2010) -  - Returning to  the site of his very 
first ARCA Racing Series presented by RE/MAX and Menards  top-five finish at 
Berlin (Mich.) Raceway in 2007, Patrick Sheltra returns to  the shortest 
track on the tour vying not only another top-five performance but a  win in 
Saturday night’s Berlin ARCA 200.  
After overcoming several obstacles  and conquering his ninth top-10 finish 
in 11 races this season last Saturday  afternoon at Pocono (Pa.) Raceway, 
the Indiantown, Florida native treks to the  upper western roots of Michigan 
hoping to award his Jon Wolfe-led team with a  flawless performance in his 
fourth trip to Berlin (Mich.) Raceway.   
“I have very fond memories of  Berlin,�?? said Sheltra. “It’s a great 
little race track that presents some unique  challenges. We’re super excited to 
have Boatwerks Waterfront Restaurant back  on-board this weekend and hope 
that their faith in our race team will yield a  great finish.�??  
The 24-year old Sheltra continued,  “Berlin is tricky. It doesn’t have a 
backstretch wall and it’s extremely flat,  so the setup can be a challenge 
but I know that Jon (Wolfe, crew chief) is  confident about how the car will 
respond on Saturday, so it will be my job to  get up on the wheel and win the 
race!�?? 
Just past the halfway mark in the  2010 ARCA Racing Series season, Sheltra 
is pleased with the performance of his  race team but he admits the team is 
ready to win, more than ready. “We’ve have a  superb race team,�?? Sheltra 
sounded. “The guys give over 100 percent every single  day. They are capable 
of winning and ready to win. We’ve been in contention all  year but for 
whatever reasons we just haven’t been able to seal the deal. I’m  hoping we can 
complete another task on our checklist Saturday  night.�??

joins the Mooresville, North Carolina-based  operation as the primary 
marketing partner for the fifth short track event of  the season.

(http://www.boatwerksrestaurant.com/)  offers family friendly casual dining,  waterfront views,

“I cannot tell you what it means  to us to have this awesome relationship 
continue with Boatwerks for this  weekend,�?? said Sheltra, who enters the 12th 
race of the season fifth  in the ARCA Racing Series championship point 
standings. There commitment and  loyalty to this team at Berlin represents their 
willingness to promote our team  and ARCA in their backyard. I hope we can 
make them proud!�??

paved oval on Saturday, the team will  participate in a open-test session on 
Friday for two hours broken up into two  one-hour sessions. The ARCA Racing 
Series will share the track with the other  local divisions competing at the

we could not turn down the opportunity  to dial in our No. 60 _Boatwerks  
Waterfront Restaurant_ (http://www.boatwerksrestaurant.com/)  / Speed Media 
Dodge Charger,�?? Sheltra  explained. “Track time is so crucial, especially 
with practice being so short on  Saturday afternoon. This could just be the 
missing piece that finally puts us in  the winner’s circle.�??  
Sitting 130 markers behind close  friend and racing colleague Justin Marks, 
Sheltra is focused on reeling in the  points he needs, to put his Sheltra 
Motorsports operation back in the title  chase. “Every point counts and 
strategy will be crucial. We’re prepared though  and we’ll be ready to gnaw away 
at our deficit the rest of the year,�?? Sheltra  concluded.
