🇺🇸 Austin Wayne Self

Austin Wayne Self is an American stock car racing driver who built his career primarily in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series after coming up through the ARCA Menards Series, where he raced full-time for two seasons before moving to trucks. He continued to make part-time ARCA starts even after stepping up, most recently in 2022, and spent much of his Truck Series tenure driving for his family's operation, AM Racing, most notably behind the wheel of the No. 22 Ford F-150. Over the course of his career, Self compiled 105 starts in the Truck Series without recording a win or a podium finish, reflecting a career built on steady participation rather than front-running results.[1]

Self's Racer Rating of 2,719 places him 1,103th among active drivers, underscoring his status as a journeyman competitor within the series rather than a championship contender. In his final season on record, 2026, he made a single start, finishing outside the top rungs of the standings at 96th with no wins or podiums, a fitting coda to a career now marked as retired. With zero championships and zero wins across his 105 Truck Series starts, Self's legacy in NASCAR is that of a driver closely tied to his family's team, AM Racing, who maintained a long-running presence in the sport without breaking through to victory lane.[2]
