Kansas: Patrick Sheltra practice report

Patrick Sheltra Posts Top-10 Effort In Kansas Practice

"No. 60 Buffalo Wings & Rings-MC2 Energy Drink Dodge Charger Ninth Fastest"

KANSAS CITY, Kansas (October 1, 2009) - - Patrick Sheltra in the No. 60 Buffalo Wings & Rings-MC2 Energy Drink Dodge Charger posted the ninth fastest lap in the ARCA RE/MAX Series delayed practice session Thursday at Kansas Speedway.

Changes made by the John Hayden led operation from the most recent mile-and-a-half track at Chicagoland Speedway seemed to be a step for the team in the right direction for the veteran team. The team will look to secure their ninth top-10 finish of the 2009 ARCA RE/MAX Series season Thursday afternoon.

"We have a real good car," said driver Patrick Sheltra. "The guys made some changes between Chicagoland and Kansas and it propelled us in the right direction. Our Buffalo Wings & Rings-MC2 Energy Drink Dodge Charger is really fast; but we're just trying not to lose the handle of our car with the speed. We should be really good for the race today."

Following Thursday's ARCA RE/MAX Series event, Sheltra will remain in the Kansas City area and tackle the NASCAR Nationwide Series for the fourth time in his career behind the wheel of the No. 81 Buffalo Wings & Rings-MC2 Energy Drink Dodge Charger for MacDonald Motorsports in the Kansas Lottery 300 Saturday afternoon.
