JOLIET, Illinois (August 27, 2010) - - Patrick Sheltra dominated Friday’s Ansell Protective Gloves 150 at Chicagoland Speedway awarding the Indiantown, Florida native his third career ARCA Racing Series presented by RE/MAX Series victory and second consecutive win after claiming the Allen Crowe 100 at the Illinois State Fairgrounds last Sunday.

Sheltra in the No. 60 Sheltra Motorsports Toyota Camry led an unofficially whopping 84 laps en route to claiming the 15th race of the 2010 season.

“I cannot thank everyone at Sheltra Motorsports enough,” said Sheltra, who collected his first ever speedway win tonight. “We had a great car. We opted not to come out and test here a couple weeks ago and obviously it did not hold us back. I can’t thank everyone enough. My mom, my dad, my team and our special guest David Gilliland, this is awesome!”

Sheltra added, “We’re on fire right now and we don’t plan to let the flame die anytime soon!”

With his third career ARCA Racing Series victory, Sheltra unofficially moves to third in the championship chase, just 10 markers behind new leader Craig Goess.

A full-race report is forthcoming.
