INDIANTOWN, FL -January 30, 2007- Young Indiantown, Florida native Patrick Sheltra is about to embark on a busy and exciting three-week stretch of his racing career, which will include his first Dirt Late Model events of 2007 and his inaugural ARCA RE/MAX Series start at the Daytona (FL) International Speedway. The racing action will kick off on Wednesday, January 31 for "Mr. Showtime," as he will invade the Golden Isles Speedway in Brunswick, Georgia for a $2,500 to win O'Reilly Southern Allstars East Series show. In all, Patrick, will compete in four Super Dirt Late Model events and three Corteco NLMS Series shows during his stint at the ultra-fast, 5/8-mile dirt oval from January 31-February 3. You can learn more about the 'Super Bowl of Racing III' online at www.goldenislesspeedway.com and www.southern-allstars.com.

Patrick and his #23 team will then head south to the East Bay Raceway Park in Gibsonton, Florida to compete in three more Dirt Late Model events from February 5-7. The Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series will sanction all of the exciting, wheel-to-wheel racing action at the Tampa area venue. All three shows at the "Clay by the Bay" will pay $5,000 to the winner. Patrick will leave East Bay during the middle of the 'Winternationals' due to his ARCA RE/MAX Series obligations at the Daytona (FL) International Speedway. You can listen to all of the action each night from East Bay online at www.racetalklive.com or visit www.eastbayracewaypark.com and

On Saturday, February 10, Patrick plans to make his first ARCA RE/MAX Series start at the famed Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida. He will be behind the wheel of the Dan Kinney-Premier Motorsports #60 Monte Carlo for the 44th annual running of the 'ARCA 200.' Patrick has high hopes of a strong performance in the event, as he was twenty-eight fastest of seventy-seven cars in a December practice session at the 2.5-mile paved oval. The native Floridian will compete for ARCA RE/MAX Series Rookie of the Year honors throughout the season on the competitive ARCA circuit.
