Austin Wayne Self will attempt to make his NASCAR Xfinity Series debut this weekend, as he’ll pilot the No. 32 entry for Jordan Anderson Racing Bommarito Autosport at Watkins Glen International. JAR is a team that is owned by Self’s brother-in-law Jordan Anderson.
Self will have sponsorship from AM Technical Solutions for the event. Jordan Anderson Racing made the announcement in the form of a press release on Monday.
Self, 26, is elated to be making his Xfinity Series debut this weekend.
“I am very thankful for this opportunity with Jordan Anderson Racing Bommarito Autosport,” said Self in the release. “Anyone that knows me how much I enjoy road course racing and to have the opportunity to attempt to make my Xfinity Series debut driving for my wife’s brother’s team is incredibly special.”
While Self will be behind the wheel of the No. 32 car, the car, which has only attempted to make one race this season, which resulted in a DNQ back at Michigan International Speedway, he knows the task at hand is to execute in qualifying.
“We have to qualify for the race on speed, but I am confident with the car and crew we have put together for this race that we can have a successful debut with our No. 32 AM Technical Solutions Chevrolet Camaro,” added Self. “Hopefully, we can see that checkered flag wave on Saturday afternoon and give us a little momentum to hold over until the Truck Series resumes action at Kansas Speedway next month.”
Additionally, Self will also compete in the ARCA Menards Series event at Watkins Glen this weekend in the No. 32 entry for AM Racing, the same team he runs for in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series.
Self has made a total of 143 starts in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series over the course of his career, and has scored two top-five finishes and 15 top-10s.
