Self and the Venturini Motorsports team will now head to the smallest track on the schedule, the 3/8-mile paved Elko Speedway. This will be Self's first start at the short track that sits just outside Minneapolis, though Self has numerous starts on 3/8-mile tracks in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series West.

After a week off to celebrate the fourth of July holiday, championship leading driver, Michael Self (No .25 Sinclair Oil Toyota) and the ARCA Menards Series return to action this weekend in the Menards 200 at Elko Speedway on Saturday, July 13.

The heat was on during the ARCA Menards Series’ (ARCA) rare mid-week prime time event at Chicagoland Speedway. Battling the extreme conditions Michael Self (No. 25 Sinclair Oil Toyota) returned to the Windy City looking to defend his 2018 race win. 

Self and the team will look to rebound this week as they head to Chicagoland Speedway, where Self managed to take home the checkered flag after a late-race pass last year. Self has two prior ARCA Menards Series starts, and one start in the NASCAR Xfinity Series at Chicagoland. Self is credited with one win, and has led 92 laps in ARCA competition at Chicagoland.

Current ARCA Menards Series points leader Michael Self (No. 25 Sinclair Oil Toyota) will return to Joliet, Illinois to defend last year’s dramatic late race ARCA victory in Thursday night’s Bounty 150 event under the lights at Chicagoland Speedway.

Self, the current points leader in the ARCA Menards Series started Saturday night’s race from the pole and led a race high 41 laps before a broken rear axle ended the 28-year-old’s day early relegating him to a disappointing 13th place finish.
