New Record Set; But Thirsty For More: While eclipsing his 11th top-five
finish of the year at Kansas Speedway last Thursday, Patrick Sheltra
continues to rewrite his own personal record books for the number of finishes
inside the top-five and top-10 for a full-season. In his previous three
full-time seasons, Sheltra had posted a season high of four top-five finishes in
2009. Sheltraā€™s personal best overall season of nine top-10 finishes in 2008
was overtaken again by his performance in the Kansas Lottery 150. Thus far
in 2010, Sheltra has mastered two wins, 11 top-fives and 16 top-10
finishes in 19 races. Sheltra is hoping to expand his new personal record with
just one race remaining this year.

chief Jon Wolfe sits first in the ARCA Racing Series championship
standings accumulating 4495 points. The driver nicknamed ā€œMr. Showtimeā€??? remained
in the top-spot following his solid run last week at Kansas Speedway. The
24-year old Sheltra also controls the first position in the ARS car owner
standings. Earlier this year, Sheltra held the top-spot for three consecutive
races (Toledo, Michigan and Pocono) in a row and shared the top-spot with
Tom Hessert for one race (DuQuoin (Ill.) State Fairgrounds). In 2009, he
also shared the top-spot with Parker Kligerman for one race (Rockingham (N.C.)
Speedway - April).
Nice Statistic; Solid Stats: By posting his 16th top-10 finish of the
season at Kansas Speedway on September 30, Sheltra is the only driver in the
ARCA Racing Series to finish inside the top-10 in 16 of the 19 races
completed thus far in 2010. Sheltra kicked off his strongest start to an ARCA
season with a fifth place performance at Daytona, a 10th place performance at
Palm Beach, a fourth at Salem Speedway, a seventh at Texas Motor Speedway,
a second at Talladega, an eighth at Toledo Speedway, a fourth at Pocono
(Pa.) Raceway, a third at Michigan International Speedway, a sixth at Pocono

the Illinois State Fairgrounds and another win at Chicagoland Speedway, a
fourth at the Du Quoin (Ill.) State Fairgrounds, a third place at Toledo
(Oh.) Speedway, a sixth under the lights at Salem (Ind.) Speedway and most
recently a fifth at Kansas Speedway in round number 19.

Sheltra Motorsports, Rockingham (N.C.) Speedway Pre-Race Quotes: Patrick
Sheltra, driver / owner of the No. 60 _Tequesta Road and Bridge of Florida_
(http://www.tequesta.org/) /
Jones Group International Toyota Camry
On Kansas Speedway: ā€œObviously we felt like we would have won the race if
not for the last caution flag. Thereā€™s nothing we can do about it now. We
were content with a fifth but disappointed we couldnā€™t bring everyone home
another win. Weā€™ll just have to make up for it Saturday at Rockingham.ā€???
On Rockingham Speedway: ā€œRockingham Speedway is a neat place but can be
difficult to negotiate. You have to use your head for tire management and
even fuel conservation. The championship is on the line this weekend, so
while we plan to play it smart, we canā€™t afford to let our guard down and allow
those other guys (Craig Goess and Tom Hessert) the chance to take the
title from us.ā€???
On The Teamā€™s Breast Cancer Awareness Incentive: ā€œI think most everyone
in the ARCA garage has known someone or does know someone who has battled
not only breast cancer but some type of cancer throughout their lifetime.
October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and we plan to do everything we
humanly can to bring further attentiveness and awareness to the disease. Our
hearts and prayers are with Debbie (Evans) and everyone else in the world
fighting for remission.
On The 2010 ARCA Racing Series Championship: ā€œI wasnā€™t joking last year
when I said at the ARCA banquet, I was going to be back this year and we
were going to be a threat for the championship. Here we are; living up to our
promise. Iā€™m so proud of the Sheltra Motorsports team. Weā€™re going into
Saturdayā€™s race with the same mentality weā€™ve had all year long and
hopefully it will be enough to secure the championship title!ā€???
