This Friday the ARCA Menards Series season will close out at Kansas Speedway, the site of Self's first on-track appearance with Sinclair Oil in 2017. In three ACRA Menards Series starts at Kansas, Self has a win and two third-place finishes. He enters the weekend 15-points out of the ARCA championship standings lead.

Eight months in the making and the ARCA Menards Series championship title fight between Michael Self and Christian Eckes comes down to the final race of the season Friday night at Kansas Speedway.

With championship consideration on the line, Michael Self (No. 25 Sinclair Oil Toyota) finished sixth in last Saturday night’s rain shortened Herr’s Potato Chip 200 at Lucas Oil Raceway. 

This Saturday Self and Sinclair oil will return to Lucas Oil Raceway, just outside of Indianapolis, IN for the third together since 2017. In his previous two starts at the .686-mile low-banked oval Self is credited with a second-place finish in 2017, and an 11th-place finish in 2018 after another day plagued with mechanical issues. Self has led 29 laps at LOR, all in 2017.

In the midst of the closet ARCA Menards Series Championship battle in over a decade, current series points leader Michael Self (No. 25 Sinclair Oil Toyota) holds a slim five-point lead over teammate Christian Eckes going into Saturday’s Herr’s Potato Chip 200 at Lucas Oil Raceway.

A night Michael Self (No. 25 Sinclair Oil Toyota) would rather soon forget, Saturday’s Fall Classic 200 at Salem Speedway delivered a low mark on what’s so far been a career season for the 28-year-old driver for Venturini Motorsports.
