PARK CITY, Utah — 19 year-old NASCAR K&N Pro Series rookie Michael Self will compete in the “TOYOTA/NAPA Bonus Challenge 150” this weekend at Douglas County Speedway in Roseburg, OR looking to turn his momentum around after a 33rd place run at Iowa Speedway.
Self comes into Roseburg in the midst of a heated battle for the Rookie of the Year honors will also being scored eighth in the series points standings. Self is ranked eighth among the 18 drivers who have been in attendance for all three races held so far.
