| Patrick Sheltra Fifth Fastest In ARCA Practice
At Texas Motor Speedway
“Sheltra Moving Forward In No. 60 Toyota Camry”
FORT WORTH, Texas (April 15, 2010) - - In ARCA’s
coveted return to Texas Motor Speedway, Patrick Sheltra,
driver of the No. 60 Recycling Services-Buffalo Wings &
Rings Toyota Camry posted the fifth fastest time overall
in the lone practice session for the ARCA Racing Series
presented by RE/MAX and Menards Thursday afternoon.
Thursday’s session marked the first time that Sheltra
had practiced inside the top-five on a speedway in his four
year ARCA tenure. Sheltra’s time of 29.194 seconds
at 184.970 miles per hour was just two tenths slower than
practice winner Justin Mark’s fastest run.
“We’re really happy with practice,” said
the 23-year old rising star. “Jon (Wolfe, crew chief)
and the guys adjusted and fine-tuned on the car during practice
and it paid off when it counted the most. I’m extremely
confident that we should be able to better our practice
effort in qualifying and have a good run in tomorrow night’s
race.”
Sheltra is scheduled to go out 33rd in Menards pole qualifying
presented by Ansell. The late qualifying draw should be
beneficial to the Indiantown, Florida native.
Entering Texas, Sheltra has 70 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 12 top-fives and posted
25 top-10 finishes. A third place qualifying effort at Rockingham
Speedway (April 2009) is Sheltra’s best time trials
efforts to date. He has controlled the ARCA field six times
for 148 laps.
The Rattlenake 150 (100 laps / 150 miles) is the fourth
of 20 events on the 2010 ARCA Racing Series presented by
RE/MAX and Menards schedule. The second ever ARCA race held
at Texas Motor Speedway is a two day show. Menards pole
