Self on Racing at Gateway: “We’re closing on the end of this four-race stretch, and I really want to go out on a high mark this weekend at Gateway and next weekend at Chicagoland,” said Self.

“The guys on our No. 22 Niece Motorsports team have worked diligently to put competitive race trucks on the track each week, and I want to show them my appreciation with a top-10 run that we all know we’re capable of.

“We’ve shown that we’ve had speed but for one reason or another, we’ve haven’t had the luck or breaks to put us inside the top-10 when that checkered flag waves. We showcased our capabilities again at Iowa, but came up a little short. This weekend at Gateway, I’m hoping everything (finally) comes together.”

Self at Gateway: Saturday night’s race at Gateway Motorsports Park will mark Self’s second start at the 1.25-mile track.  In his previous start, which came in 2016, Self finished 28th.

Recapping Iowa: Self and the No. 22 team worked hard all day to find the right balance on the No. 22 Chevrolet.  After battling hot conditions and avoiding multiple on track incidents, Self earned a top-15 finish.

“It was a long day of trying to get our No. 22 GO TEXAN | AM Technical Solutions Chevrolet where we wanted it to be,” said Self.  “We made our way up into the top-10, but never really got the truck where we wanted it.

“It was a learning day with our truck, but we still soldiered home to a solid finish. We’ll be ready to build on that and take on Gateway.”
