Stuff happens in a hurry and momentum is key to success.“For me, once I get into a rhythm and the race settles down into a good pace, that’s where I tend to make up most of my ground. I finished 15th in my first start in 2016, I’d like to better that this weekend.“The pace we’ve been able to show lately is something to be proud of. We’ve had speed, whether it comes to the short tracks, a road course, an intermediate track and even a superspeedway. That’s a good shot in the arm for this final four-race stretch. I’m eager to get to Martinsville and see what we can deliver.”Self at Martinsville: This Saturday’s race at Martinsville Speedway marks Self’s fourth NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS) starts at the track.
