AM Racing, Austin Wayne Self fired up heading to Darlington Raceway

AM Racing, Austin Wayne Self fired up heading to Darlington Raceway

DARLINGTON, S.C.: Just two races remaining in the regular NASCAR Gander RV & Outdoors Truck Series (NGROTS) season, Austin Wayne Self and his AM Racing head to Darlington (S.C.) Raceway fired up after being taken out in the closing laps last weekend at World Wide Technology Raceway at Gateway.

Heading towards another strong finish for his family-owned team at Gateway, Austin Wayne Self was hit by another competitor with less than 10 laps left in the race which not only eliminated a strong finish – but left the team with a bitter taste.

But, trying to put Gateway’s result in the rearview mirror, the duo is ready to get down to business in the NASCAR Gander RV & Outdoors Truck Series return to Darlington after a nine-year absence and fight for their first top-10 finish of the season in the South Carolina Education Lottery 200.

“I’m fired up heading to Darlington,” said Self. “I’m still frustrated about what happened at Gateway. My guys brought me a good No. 22 GO TEXAN | AM Technical Solutions Chevrolet Silverado and a driver who isn’t running a full season wrecked us for one spot on the track. It didn’t make any sense then and still doesn’t now.

“My guys work really hard on our trucks to have that happen. But we’ll fight back, stand up and be better because of it. Darlington is an opportunity and challenge for us and one that we’ll certainly accept.”

While nearly the entire field hasn’t turned a lap at the historic “Lady in Black,” – Self says everyone will be on the same playing field in the penultimate race of the regular season opening the door for comers and goers.

“I’m heading to Darlington with a lot of questions and not a lot of answers,” Self said. “I watched races from there in the past – but now I’ll have a chance to race there. I know the racing groove is narrow but that should make the competition fierce and the race eventful.

“We’re going there with an open mind. I feel like I have one of the smartest crew chiefs in the garage with Eddie (Troconis) and I’ll be relying on him throughout the first stage to help put us in a good spot for Stage 2 and Stage 3.

“I know the Playoffs loom and even though it might be a longshot, we have a chance to make it and we’ll fight to the checkered flag at Richmond next weekend to try and make that happen.”

Should the team fall short of earning a Playoff spot, it will continue to be business as usual for the AM Racing team as Self expects the upward performance trend to continue to climb aboard his No. 22 GO TEXAN | AM Technical Solutions Chevrolet Silverado from now until Phoenix (Ariz.) Raceway in November.

“We’re a relatively small team, but we’ve been making some big strides this season with our heart and passion of racing,” added Self. “We have a lot of people, including our partners who are devoted to our race team and focused on seeing our team succeed not only in 2020 but as we start to think ahead to 2021.”

In addition to primary partners GO TEXAN and AM Technical Solutions, AIRBOX Air Purifier, Don’t mess with Texas, CForce Bottling Company, Flying Circle, Kreuz Market and Prasek’s will serve as associate partners in the 15^th race of the year.

The Austin, Texas native is nestled 17^th in the championship standings with nine races remaining.

AM Racing, Austin Wayne Self ready to get loud and proud at Gateway

August 27, 2020 by Chris Knight

AM Racing, Austin Wayne Self ready to get loud and proud at Gateway

MADISON, Ill: With just three races remaining in the regular NASCAR Gander RV & Outdoors Truck Series season, Austin Wayne Self and his AM Racing team trek to World Wide Technology Raceway at Gateway with a chance to spoil the Playoff party in Sunday afternoon’s WWT Raceway 200 presented by CK Power.

Of course, a win would be one of the biggest upsets in the series this season, but it would be a huge payday as well for the Statesville, N.C.-based team as the event is the finale for the three-race Triple Truck Challenge which offers a bonus for any Truck Series driver and team who are able to capture a victory.

And while some may consider Self and his family-owned team a longshot to win a race this season, that’s fine as far as he and crew chief Eddie Troconis are concerned – as the opportunity to win is what keeps them motivated to get to the track each weekend.

Even though the team struggled last weekend at Dover and finished 23^rd, the No. 22 GO TEXAN | AM Technical Solutions Chevrolet team has proven time and time again, especially in 2020 that they are able to bounce back in a competitive fashion.

“Dover was a tough weekend for us, but it will make us better for the long haul,” said driver Austin Wayne Self. “We’re always learning with these trucks and Eddie and I are always still learning things together as driver and crew chief.

“Dover is behind us though and we’re focused on Gateway this weekend and the chance to get there and spoil the party.”

As for World Wide Technology Raceway, the Austin, Tex. native will make his fourth career start at the 1.25-mile oval. With an average finish of 20.3 with starts in 2016, 2018 and 2019 and two top-17 finishes – the 24-year-old is eager to improve and propel his AM Racing team into the spotlight.

“Gateway can definitely be a challenging track because the corners are so different,” said Self. “It really wears on the handling, but it makes you feel like you need something different for every corner.

“With this new formula, we should start somewhere around 20^th and hopefully we can make some good forward progress in the opening stage that sets the tone for the final two stages. Of course, we’re hungry to win – but if we can’t find ourselves in that position to win, we’ll take a top-10 finish and look ahead to Darlington.”

In 97 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 18.5 during his five years of competition.

The Austin, Texas native is nestled 17^th in the championship standings with 10 races remaining.

AM Racing, Austin Wayne Self ready to tame Monster Mile

AM Racing, Austin Wayne Self ready to tame Monster Mile

DOVER, Del: Bouncing back in spectacular fashion from their late-race mishap at Michigan with a season-high 11^th place run last Sunday at the Daytona (Fla.) International Speedway Road Course, Austin Wayne Self and his AM Racing team head to Dover (Del.) International Speedway determined to deliver a top-10 finish in Friday afternoon’s KDI Office Technology 200.

Switching gears from road racing to short track racing, Friday’s 200-lap slugfest is the first of five consecutive races with the track length under 1.5-miles and taking the series’ through the end of their first race of the Playoffs next month at Bristol (Tenn.) Motor Speedway.

While looking for a Playoff spot by virtue of a victory in the NASCAR Gander RV & Outdoors Truck Series (NGROTS), Self and his Eddie Troconis-led team have been showcasing speed over the past six weeks which undoubtedly puts them as a sleeper should the carpet unravel, the dots connect and luck on their side over the next four races.

“I’m really proud of this AM Racing team,” said Self. “While Michigan was a bummer with our finish, our performance was something to be proud of. Last weekend at Daytona we were able to showcase that whether big track, small track or road course – we have speed in our No. 22 GO TEXAN | AM Technical Solutions Chevrolet Silverados and it has our team upbeat about this next stretch of races.”

Self returns to Dover where he has three previous starts in the NASCAR Gander RV & Outdoors Truck Series, including a track-best of 15^th in 2018.

“Dover is a cool race track with a lot of banking but it’s a place where I feel like you have to be aggressive in order to have a good finish,” said Self.”

“Track position is important at a place like Dover and while we’ll be likely starting mid-pack again based on the formula, it will be important for us to use the start and restarts to our advantage to get as many positions as we can. Sometimes, the race take a long green-flag look to it and others it’s a caution-fest, so you have to be prepared for anything.

“I’ve never been to Dover without practice or qualifying, so we’re going to start with our basics and what we learned last year there and hope we can build off that for the rest of the race.”

Of course, the goal is to try and put the Statesville, N.C.-based AM Racing team in Victory Lane before the Playoffs launch at Bristol, but the Austin, Tex. native says if his team doesn’t make a Playoff berth this year – he expects the performance trend to continue to climb aboard his No. 22 GO TEXAN | AM Technical Solutions Chevrolet Silverado from now until Phoenix (Ariz.) Raceway in November.

“We’re a relatively small team, but we’re making big strides with our heart and passion of racing,” added Self. “We have a lot of people, including our partners who are devoted to our race team and focused on seeing our team succeed not only in 2020 but as we start to think ahead to 2021.”

AM Racing, Austin Wayne Self ready to tackle Daytona Road Course

AM Racing, Austin Wayne Self ready to tackle Daytona Road Course

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla: Even though one of their best runs of the NASCAR Gander RV & Outdoors Truck Series (NGROTS) season didn’t turn out as they had hoped last weekend at Michigan International Speedway, Austin Wayne Self and his AM Racing team head to the Daytona (Fla.) International Speedway Road Course prepared to finish what they started in Sunday afternoon’s Sunoco 159.

After starting deep in the Henry Ford Health System 200 in the Irish Hills, Self in his No. 22 GO TEXAN | AM Technical Solutions Chevrolet roared to the front and hovered inside the top-10 for a quarter of the event before a late-race accident spoiled the afternoon and finish.

Still, Self has remained upbeat and confident in his family-owned team knowing the team is showing speed in their race trucks and hopes to continue to showcase their versatile with Daytona’s 14-turn, 3.56-mile road course.

“I’ve been eager to get back in the truck since Saturday,” said Self. “I’m really proud of this AM Racing team and the work that Eddie Troconis has done. We’ve had a lot of speed lately and we’ve been showing that.

“Unfortunately, we didn’t get a chance to capitalize on it with our finish at Michigan, but I’m looking forward to Sunday’s Truck race. To be honest, I love road course racing.

“I enjoy the challenges it brings, the finesse and strategy and all the fundamentals of turning left and right. I feel rather good about the truck we’re bringing, and I really think we can contend for a top-10 finish.”

Without any practice or qualifying, Self will take the green flag without any laps on the Daytona Road Course layout and while some see the lack of track time as a determent, Self and his AM Racing team see it as one of their biggest challenges of the season – and one they plan to conquer.

“It is what it is,” Self said with a chuckle. “Sure, we would all like to practice and yeah even qualifying but 2020 isn’t normal, so if we can’t do either, we’ll just climb in the trucks and go race.

“I think it’s going to be threading the needle for that first stage. Learning the track, making sure you recover from any mistakes you make and then from there setting the truck up for what you need to make it to the finish.

“I’ve been a part of road course races where it comes down to fuel, others strategy and even a race where it was just about pure luck. The road course races tend to be a wildcard and who knows maybe it’s our turn to shuffle up the Playoff cards a little bit and find a way to steal a win away from these guys.

“We don’t’ have anything to lose and everything to gain, so we’ll just go there and see what happens.”

Earlier this week, AM Racing announced that AIRBOX Air Purifier will serve as the primary marketing partner for Self’s No. 22 Chevrolet this weekend at Daytona.
