Self on Racing at Martinsville: “Honestly, I enjoy racing at Martinsville,” said Self. “It’s a very demanding short track where you almost have to treat every race lap like a qualifying lap. Stuff happens in a hurry and momentum is key to success.
“For me, once I get into a rhythm and the race settles down into a good pace, that’s where I tend to make up most of my ground. I finished 15th in my first start in 2016, I’d like to better that this weekend.
“The pace we’ve been able to show lately is something to be proud of. We’ve had speed, whether it comes to the short tracks, a road course, an intermediate track and even a superspeedway. That’s a good shot in the arm for this final four-race stretch. I’m eager to get to Martinsville and see what we can deliver.”
Self at Martinsville: This Saturday’s race at Martinsville Speedway marks Self’s fourth NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS) start at the track. In his previous three races, Self’s best finish of 15th came in 2016.
Recapping Talladega: Self and the No. 22 team were in contention late in the race at Talladega Superspeedway, before being collected in an accident coming to the checkered flag. The team was credited with a 12th-place finish.
“I had a really fast No. 22 GO TEXAN | AM Technical Solutions Chevrolet truck all day, stayed out of trouble, and put us in a position for another good finish.
“On the last lap, I made the move to the top lane and had a lot of momentum and potential, unfortunately, we got caught up in the big one on the backstretch coming to the checkered flag.
“I was happy with the truck and the hard work of the Niece Motorsports guys, I hope we another one like that for the next time.”
