Austin Wayne Self, the driver of the No. 22 Chevrolet Silverado, will once again be competing in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (Truck Series) this year. Self is supported by AM Racing out of Statesville, N.C., and our company will continue to serve as a sponsor.
The 2022 Truck Series season marks Self’s seventh year on tour. Self is coming off a successful 2021 campaign that saw him earn a career-high four top-10 finishes. While he is still considered a young gun on the NASCAR circuit, Self carries a long list of racing accomplishments under his belt. He will look to find even greater success this season.
The 2022 Truck Series season kicks off on February 18 at the legendary Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida.
The NextEra Energy 250 will be the first of 23 scheduled racing events this season. The season wraps up in November with the conclusion of the Truck Series Playoffs in Avondale, Arizona.

The 2022 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series racing schedule is full of exciting racing opportunities for Self and the AM Racing No. 22 Chevy.
One of the races that we have marked on the calendar is the XPEL 225 taking place on Saturday afternoon, March 26 at the world-famous Circuit of the Americas race track in Austin, Texas. This will be a homecoming for the Austin-native and an exciting moment for our company, which is based in Austin.
The native Texan will also have the opportunity to race at the SpeedyCash.com 220 on Friday night, May 20 at Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth.
Outside of Texas, Self will look to build on last year’s success in Las Vegas. Self finished a season-best eighth in last year’s race at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. This year, the Victoria’s Voice Foundation 200 takes place on Friday night, March 4 in Vegas.
If you can’t make it to the race track to see Self in action this season, then you can catch every race on FOX Sports 1 (FS1), the Motor Racing Network (MRN), and NASCAR SiriusXM Satellite Radio Channel 90.
