After setting fast time on Saturday afternoon, ARCA RE/MAX Series veteran driver Patrick Sheltra continued his impressive testing performance on Sunday morning at Daytona International Speedway where Sheltra inched his No. 60B Dodge Charger from as low as ninth on the speed charts to the top-spot before settling for second fastest time of 49.814 seconds or 180.672 miles per hour.

The Whitesville, Kentucky-based team was one of five teams to break into the 49-second bracket Sunday morning under cooler and windy conditions. Below is a quote from the 22-year old driver who is gunning for the 2009 ARCA RE/MAX Series championship.

"We said when we left the track yesterday we were going to concentrate and make this car better. Mission accomplished. We're done for the weekend. Both of our cars are fast in single car and the draft and that's what we're after. I'm really proud of my guys, they were flawless this weekend." [more]

After a successful first day of ARCA RE/MAX Series pre-season testing at Daytona International Speedway (DIS), junior-bound ARCA driver Patrick Sheltra returned to the track for the second of a three day test session. Early morning fog stalled practice for thirty minutes before Sheltra aboard his Sheltra Motorsports No. 60A Dodge Charger joined the other 40 plus teams in attendance for the February 7 season opener, the Lucas Oil Slick Mist 200 at Daytona.

In the morning session, Sheltra, the 22-year old Indiantown, Florida native clocked off the third fastest lap with a time of 49.81 seconds at 180.676 miles per hour. Sheltra held the top spot (first) for a majority of the two and a half hour session. Three of Sheltra’s actual five on-track lap times were run in the 49-second bracket and the Whitesville, Kentucky-based team was the first to post times in the 49-second bracket range Saturday morning.

Whitesville, Kentucky based Sheltra Motorsports biggest item on their Christmas list is an opportunity to dominate the 2009 ARCA RE/MAX Series season opener, the Lucas Oil Slick Mist 200 at Daytona International Speedway in February. It appears that Santa Claus has granted the team’s Christmas wish early as the returning junior ARCA team with Indiantown, Florida native Patrick Sheltra aboard showed strength in day one of preseason testing at the legendary 2.5-mile speedway Friday.

Sheltra Motorsports led by crew chief John Hayden elected to test No. 60B early Friday morning maneuvering a lap of 50.625 seconds at 179.051 miles per hour. This is the same automobile that has been converted over to a Dodge Charger that Sheltra competed with in his restrictor plate debut at Talladega Superspeedway in October 2007. The lap was 14th fastest of 45 drivers who participated in the morning session. [more]
