With the dirt races in the mirror, Self now 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. He has one win at the track which came during the spring earlier this year.
