Camping World Truck Series

2016

In December 2015, it was announced that Austin Wayne Self would compete for rookie honors and run the entire schedule with AM Racing, driving the No. 22 Toyota Camry owned by his father Tim Self.[3] After failing to qualify for the third race of the season at Martinsville, Self took the place of Tommy Joe Martins, who damaged his truck in qualifying and was not able to race. Ironically, Self recorded his highest Camping World Truck Series finishing 15th.[4]

In his rookie season of 2016, Self was penalized two times in the first three races. After the first race at Daytona, he was given a warning for an illegal triangular filler panel. After the third race at Martinsville, he was given a warning for trailing arm infractions.[5]

After his family team merged with Win-Tron Racing, Self began driving trucks out of the Win-Tron shop in Mooresville, NC beginning with the thirteenth race of the season at Bristol.
