AM Racing, Austin Wayne Self plan to squeeze their way into contention at Atlanta

by

HAMPTON, Ga.: With the NASCAR Gander RV & Outdoors Truck Series (NGROTS) back from a two-month hiatus, AM Racing and driver Austin Wayne Self head to Atlanta (Ga.) Motor Speedway upbeat about Saturday afternoon’s VetTix | Camping World 200.

Self arrived at Atlanta in March just days after his 24th birthday and on the heels of a respectable effort two weeks before at Las Vegas (Nev.) Motor Speedway.

Unfortunately, Self and his Statesville, N.C.-based team never made it on track as the series’ then third race of the season was postponed amidst the coronavirus outbreak just hours before the first practice session of the weekend.

The series roared to life at Charlotte (N.C.) Motor Speedway late last month where Self and his Eddie Troconis led team overcame early race handling issues to showcase speed in their No. 22 GO TEXAN | AM Technical Solutions Chevrolet Silverado in the closing laps of the North Carolina Education Lottery 200.

And while a 19th-place finish wasn’t what the team had hoped, the lead lap finish and the speed in their truck gave the family-owned team confidence that they could unload at Atlanta and pick up where they left off from Charlotte to contend for a top-10 finish in the fourth race of 2020.

“Without practice and qualifying, I think we came out of Charlotte with a lot of positives,” said Self. “We surely weren’t where we needed to be at the beginning of the race, but Eddie made some great adjustments and we got better at the end.

“It’s important that we take what we learned at Charlotte and apply it at Atlanta. We’re going in the right direction recovering from Daytona.”

Self will make his fourth career NGOTS start at Atlanta’s fast and bumpy 1.5-mile oval. And while a late-race accident ruined the team’s day last season at Atlanta – Self said before the crash, he was happy with the performance of his No. 22 Chevrolet Silverado.

“We were making strides towards contending for a top-10 and within a matter of seconds, our day was done,” recalled Self. “This weekend, redemption is on the line. We have made great headway with the performance of our intermediate program lately and I hope we are able to showcase that on Saturday afternoon.

“Atlanta is a bumpy race track but that provides the opportunity for great racing. The trucks still draft a lot when it comes to the mile-and-a-half tracks, so it’s important for us to get that right balance with our truck, especially over the bumps and being able to capitalize on the runs that we’ll get during the race.

“Drafting will be important but so will handling. That will produce a good show for the fans and hopefully, we’re a part of the mix.”

AM Racing returns to the track with additional support for the 134-lap race.

Squeeze Marketing will serve as an associate partner for the VetTix | Camping World 200.

“We wish we could be out there at the track to support Austin and the AM Racing team this weekend in Atlanta, but we’ll be excited to watch it on television and cheer on No. 22.”

“It’s always exciting to bring a new partner to NASCAR,” offered Self. “Squeeze Marketing is working with one of our other partners and wanted the experience the racing industry firsthand. We look forward to hosting some of their executives at the track soon and expanding our relationship with them in the future.”

For the lone trip to the Peach State this season, GO TEXAN and AM Technical Solutions will serve as major associate partners for Saturday afternoon’s race.

AM Racing, Austin Wayne Self welcomes Squeeze Marketing with front row seats at Atlanta.

by

HAMPTON, Ga.: With his 24th birthday just days in the rear-view mirror, AM Racing’s Austin Wayne Self heads to Atlanta (Ga.) Motor Speedway for Saturday afternoon’s VetTix | Camping World 200 hoping to celebrate a little more.

Of course, winning is tough at any professional level, but for the Statesville, N.C.-based team, a top-10 finish in the third NASCAR Gander RV & Outdoors Truck Series race of the season would feel like a win and a perfect belated birthday present for the Austin, Texas native.

In the most recent race at Las Vegas (Nev.) Motor Speedway, Self improved on a 26th-place qualifying effort to finish a season-high 17th, but wanting more for his family-owned team, Self is ready to get back to the consistency his AM Racing team dished out throughout the second half of the 2019 season.

“It was a good birthday,” said Self. “I spent the day at the shop hanging with my team and getting the trucks ready for Atlanta and Homestead. We left Vegas content that we were able to bounce back from the troubles at Daytona – but knowing that our team has a lot more to offer.

“We hope to prove that as the season gets into a routine. Hopefully, we can come out of Atlanta with a good finish and some momentum for the upcoming races at Homestead and Texas.”

Self will make his fourth career NGOTS start at Atlanta’s fast and bumpy 1.5-mile oval. And while a late-race accident ruined the team’s day last season at Atlanta – Self said before the crash, he was happy with the performance of his No. 22 Chevrolet Silverado.

AM Racing, Austin Wayne Self prepared to roll the dice at Las Vegas

by

LAS VEGAS, Nev.: Looking to rebound from circumstances beyond their control last weekend at Daytona (Fla.) International Speedway, AM Racing driver Austin Wayne Self and his Eddie Troconis led team are ready to roll the dice in this Friday night’s NASCAR Gander RV & Outdoors Truck Series race at Las Vegas (Nev.) Motor Speedway.

While running towards the top-10 last Friday night at Daytona, a mistake by another driver triggered an accident that wiped Self and others from the season opener. Despite the sour finish, the family-owned team was upbeat about their on-track performance and hope Daytona was a preview of what’s to come in 2020.

“It’s hard to be mad about last weekend at Daytona, because that’s Daytona,” said driver Austin Wayne Self. “It’s disappointing because I felt like we had a truck capable of running inside the top-five and contending for the win and we were done for the night not even 50 laps into the race.

“We’re going to Vegas though focused and ready to hit “restart” on the season and get some momentum before we head to Atlanta in a few weeks.”

Self is no stranger to Las Vegas’ 1.5-mile oval. In his previous six starts, Self has one top-10 finish in 2018 and maintains an average finish of 16.3 since 2016.

With finishes of 15th and 17th last year respectively, Self says those finishes won’t cut it in 2020.

“We’ve spent a lot of time working on our mile and a half program,” added Self. “Afterall that’s the bread and butter of the Truck Series for the most part. I feel like Eddie and I are in a good place as far as communication goes – we’re just working hard to make our trucks better.

“I’m hoping that we’ll be able to show just how hard we’ve worked on our trucks with our first top-10 finish of the year on Friday night.”

Joining the AM Racing team on Friday night is JB Henderson Construction – who is renewing their partnership with the Statesville, N.C.-based team but upping their commitment for the 2020 season.

Established in 1959, JB Henderson performs general and mechanical contracting and is dedicated to serving their customers and employees through collaborative construction focused on safety, solutions, and skill.

In addition to a primary role at Las Vegas, the company will have a predominate associate partnership placement throughout the remaining 21 races.

“I’m so thankful to see JB Henderson Construction increase their support with our AM Racing team this season,” added Self. “For many years now, we have welcomed the support of JB Henderson – but to now have the opportunity to represent them in a larger role is a huge boost for our team heading to Las Vegas.”

For the series’ first of two trips to Sin City this season, JB Henderson Construction and GO TEXAN will serve as major associate partners for Friday night’s race.

Don’t mess with Texas, CForce Bottling Company, Flying Circle and Kreuz Market will serve as associate partners in the second race of the year.

In 85 NGROTS races, the 2014 ARCA Menards Series Rookie of the Year has two top-fives (second at Daytona 2017, fifth at Michigan 2019) and seven top-10 finishes. The Texan maintains an average finish of 18.1 during his five years of competition.

AM Racing, Austin Wayne Self ready for Daytona

by

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla.: The offseason is over, and the start of the 2020 NASCAR Gander RV & Outdoors Truck Series season is here.

For driver Austin Wayne Self and his AM Racing team, the duo heads to Daytona (Fla.) International Speedway this week looking to start the new season off on the right foot and collect back-to-back top-10 finishes at the “World Center of Racing.”

“The offseason went pretty quick, but I’m ready to get back to the track and get after it,” said Self.

“It’s a been a busy couple months with the big shop move and working hard to better our program for the season. A good finish at Daytona on Friday night would be a great reward for everyone’s efforts.”

The Austin, Texas native will make his fifth start at the 2.5-mile superspeedway on Friday night and statistically speaking, it’s the home of his career-best finish in Truck Series competition.

In 2017, Self-guided his truck through a massive last-lap accident that propelled him to finish second. Two years later, he returned to the top-10 with a solid ninth-place result last February.

This weekend though, Self believes he has a truck that could win the race.

“Our superspeedway program was very strong last year,” added Self. “Of course, a lot of things have to go your way to get to the checkered flag, but a fast truck certainly helps. My crew chief Eddie (Troconis) has a niche for this type of racing and he works super hard to make sure we have what it takes when it comes to superspeedway racing.

“I enjoy the intensity and strategy of this type of racing and I think I’ve been able to show that over the years. Daytona has been accustomed to producing first-time winners in the past and I’d like to add my name to that list.”

For the series’ first of two trips to Florida this season, AM Technical Solutions will serve alongside GO TEXAN as a major associate partner for Friday night’s race.

Don’t mess with Texas, CForce Bottling Company, Flying Circle, Kreuz Market, and United Sorghum Checkoff Program will serve as associate partners in the first race of the year.

In 84 NGROTS races, the 2014 ARCA Menards Series Rookie of the Year has two top-fives (second at Daytona 2017, fifth at Michigan 2019) and seven top-10 finishes. The Texan maintains an average finish of 18.0 during his four years of competition.

CForce to quench AM Racing’s thirst again in 2020

by

STATESVILLE, N.C.: Officials from AM Racing proudly announced today that CForce Bottling Company and its CForce premium artesian water will once again quench the thirst of the NASCAR Gander RV & Outdoors Truck Series team for the 2020 season.

CForce Bottling Company founded in 2015 by Gena and American martial artist, actor, film producer and screenwriter Chuck Norris will return to the No. 22 Chevrolet Silverado in an associate partnership role for the entire 23-race schedule beginning with the season-opener at Daytona (Fla.) International Speedway next month.

CForce premium artesian water is naturally filtered through ancient, 23,000-year-old, volcanic rock and is then deposited into a deep, sustainable aquifer.

As a force of nature, the water erupts from the ground and is already pure, smooth and naturally high in pH. A state-of-the-art bottling facility was constructed on the property in 2016 to bottle CForce premium artesian water at its source.

The Navasota, Texas-based company joined the team early in 2018 and has steadily increased their involvement each season.

“The partnership with Austin (Wayne Self) is one of our favorite things in the year,” offered Tyler Norris, Vice President of Marketing for CForce Bottling Company. “He’s an incredible driver and an even greater ambassador for our product.”

“CForce water is proud of our partnership with AM Racing and we look forward to watching Austin’s 2020 season unfold.”

For Self, a native of Austin, Texas, CForce Bottling Company is another Texas-based company that his family-owned team has been able to retain for the upcoming Truck Series season.

The 23-year-old driver says it means something to represent a marketing partner from your home state.

“I love CForce water,” said Self. “And I’m not just saying that because they are a partner with our race team. Their water is refreshing and keeps me hydrated in and outside of our No. 22 AM Racing Chevrolet Silverado.

“I truly have enjoyed our partnership with CForce water and showcasing such a cool product on social media throughout the year. Can’t wait to do even more in 2020!”

The green flag for the 2020 NGROTS season begins at the “World Center of Racing” at Daytona International Speedway on Fri., Feb 14, 2020 for the NextEra Energy Resources 250 live on FOX Sports 1, the Motor Racing Network and SiriusXM Satellite Radio NASCAR Channel 90.

About Kreuz Market:

When Charles Kreuz Sr. opened a grocery store in 1900, he started smoking meats and sausage in brick barbecue pits and selling it to his customers on butcher paper. That’s how they did it in the old country at German meat-markets and that’s how we do it today. New barbecue joints are popping up all the time—some with ribs drowned in sauce, others with new fangled commercial smokers.

You won’t find that stuff at Kreuz. We do it the old-fashioned way because here in the home of Texas barbecue, we know that original way is still the best way.

AM Racing and Flying Circle have hosted giveaways at Army & Air Force Exchange Service (AAFES) stores where active duty military and veterans can enter to win a VIP experience at the track alongside the team.  AM Racing will continue to host guests of Flying Circle at a number of races throughout the 2020 Truck Series season.

We will work harder this season to make sure even more race fans know who they are and what they do.

“For me though, one of the biggest blessings of this partnership is being able to host members of our military at the track throughout the season. To have them on pit road with us as the National Anthem is sung and to have their support in our team prayer, it’s such a powerful moment for our race team. I look forward to making more of those memories in 2020.”
