The youth movement in motorsports can be traced back to the mid-1980s when a young – then 13-year-old – Jeff Gordon made a splash driving winged sprint cars. He found early success and made the transition to stock car racing at the end of the 1990 season, and when he started winning in what is how the NASCAR XFINITY Series in 1992 the die was cast and team owners have been forever looking for the next young superstar in the making.

Michael Self (No. 25 Sinclair Lubricants Toyota) sped to his third General Tire Pole Award in his last four ARCA Menards Series starts for this evening’s VizCom 200 at Michigan International Speedway.
