\u201cAfter my last run I\u2019m really looking forward to strapping back into the seat at Kansas,\u201d said Self.\u00a0 \u201cOur AM Technical Solutions team continues to make big strides on and off the track.\u00a0 I\u2019m focused on doing my part and keeping up the momentum this weekend.\u201d<\/p>\n

Riding momentum, the 20-year old driver looks to continue his steady improvement behind the wheel of the No.22 AM Technical Solutions-Black\u2019s Barbeque Toyota.\u00a0 Self, driving for the newly formed AM Technical Solutions Toyota team has scored three top-20 finishes thus far during his NCWTS rookie campaign \u2013 placing him third in the highly competitive \u201916 Rookie of the Year contest.<\/p>\n

\u201cAustin and team are coming off of their best finish of his Truck Series career at Martinsville, so we are really looking forward to cheering them on in Kansas. They\u2019ve been able to learn so many valuable lessons, and apply what they\u2019ve learned to consistently improve race after race. We expect their commitment to teamwork and communication to continue, and we hope to see the team get their first Top 10!\u201d says Dan Codi, CEO of AM Technical Solutions.<\/p>\n

Self, currently occupying the 15th<\/sup> spot in the NCWTS driver championship point standings, has bettered his finishing spot each week since the series opener at Daytona in mid-February – Finishing 19th<\/sup>, 16th<\/sup> and 15th<\/sup>, the Texas native maintains a respectable 16.7 average race finish.<\/p>\n

Looking ahead to a busy month of racing Self and the AM Technical Solutions Toyota team had a successful test last week at the Monster Mile in preparation for the May 13th<\/sup> event at Dover International Speedway.<\/p>\n
