With the dirt races in the mirror, current ARCA Menards Series Points leader Michael Self (No. 25 Sinclair Oil Toyota) turns back to short-track asphalt racing for the ARCA Menards Series 107th race at the abrasive, high-banked and high-speed half-mile Salem Speedway. This will be Self’s third start at Salem. His win at the track came during the spring earlier this year.

“I’ve only run Salem twice, but I think it’s one of my most favorite short tracks that I’ve ever raced at. The track has as much character as anywhere with it’s ultra-abrasive and bumpy surface, it’s a handful to drive just to begin with. It always takes a few laps to get re-acclimated to Salem just because it’s so much rougher than anywhere else we go, but that kind of makes it fun. You really have to be on top of your game both mentally and physically. We had a phenomenal Sinclair Oil Toyota here in the Spring, and even though we’re bringing the same car back, it’s going to be warmer and track conditions will probably be different this time around so I’m sure we’ll have some adaptation and work to do, but I’m looking forward to getting back on this track under the lights.” Michael Self
