At Talladega, Self made a remarkable impression for his first Superspeedway start. The Texas native finished third and captured the SCOTT Rookie of the Race award and left in the No. 7 spot in the overall driver point standings. This momentum will be a valuable asset as the teams now approaches Toledo.

 

“I am really focused towards Toledo. We are going to be really fast, and I am putting attention towards our qualifying run. Toledo is a fast, fun track. The long sweeping turns make for good side by side racing, it’s fun to make passes off the turns, I come from a short track racing background and I feel confident at Toledo Speedway,” Self said.

 

Self actually made his ARCA Racing Series debut at Toledo Speedway in 2013 with a sixth-place finish after starting 10th.

 

Earlier in the week Self and the Cunningham Motorsports team tested at Toledo to prepare for this weekend’s race.

 

“We are definitely focusing on everything being in place for this race, tire conservation, stops, adjustments, and even communication are all aspects of development and focus for our team. I am ready to get out there and race, we have such a solid momentum going and the entire team is ready to battle it out on the short track!”
