Racing career

edit

ARCA Menards Series

edit

Self scored his first win at Winchester Speedway in June 2015,[1] finishing second in the standings for that same year. As a career, Self totaled 45 starts for two teams.

Camping World Truck Series

edit

In December 2015, it was announced that Self would compete for Rookie of the Year honors and run the entire schedule with AM Racing, driving the No. 22 Toyota Tundra owned by his father Tim Self.[2] After failing to qualify for the third race of the season at Martinsville, Self took the place of Tommy Joe Martins, who damaged his truck in qualifying and was not able to race. Ironically, he recorded his highest Camping World Truck Series finish at that time, finishing 15th.[3]

In his rookie season of 2016, Self was penalized two times in the first three races. After the first race at Daytona, he was given a warning for an illegal triangular filler panel. After the third race at Martinsville, he was given a warning for trailing arm infractions.[4]

After his family team merged with Win-Tron Racing, Self began driving trucks out of the Win-Tron shop in Mooresville, NC beginning with the thirteenth race of the season at Bristol.

Self started the 2017 season on a high note when he finished second at Daytona. However, AM Racing did not enter the following week's race at Atlanta as they planned to focus on building the team.[5] In May, Self joined Niece Motorsports and the No. 45 Chevrolet at Kansas.[6] At Pocono, Self joined Martins Motorsports and drove the No. 44 truck to a 16th-place finish.[7] Self continued to drive primarily for Martins, returning to AM Racing for Canadian Tire Motorsport Park and Niece for Talladega Superspeedway.

On October 30, 2017, it was announced that Self joined Niece Motorsports for the entirety of the 2018 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series season.[8]

Following the Homestead race, AM Racing and Niece Motorsports parted ways allowing AM Racing to field full-time for Self in 2019.

After running the first three races of the year and missing the next two, Self was indefinitely suspended by NASCAR on April 1, 2019, after the fifth event of the season. Self was suspended for violating the sanctioning body's substance abuse policy.[9] After completing NASCAR's "Road to Recovery" rehab program, Self was reinstated on April 30.[10]

Xfinity Series

edit

In May 2017, Self joined MBM Motorsports for his Xfinity Series debut at Charlotte Motor Speedway.[11] However, as the team withdrew at Cup, owner Carl Long took over the No. 40 ride for the race, delaying Self's debut.[12] On August 15, 2022, it was announced that Self would drive a second entry for Jordan Anderson Racing at Watkins Glen International.[13]

Personal life

edit

He is a native of Austin, Texas. Self is also the brother-in-law of NASCAR team owner/part-time driver Jordan Anderson.

On January 31, 2016, Self was charged with simple physical assault and underage alcohol consumption for an incident in July 2015.[14]
