Austin Wayne Self (born March 5, 1996) is an American professional driver. He currently competes part-time in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, driving the No. 22 Toyota Tundra for AM Racing and the No. 45 Chevrolet Silverado for Niece Motorsports. He also has competed in the ARCA Racing Series, most recently driving the No. 33 Toyota Camry for Win-Tron Racing in 2016.

Self scored his first win at Winchester Speedway in June 2015, finishing second in the standings for that same year. As a career, Self totalled 45 starts for two teams.

In December 2015, it was announced that Self would compete for Rookie of the Year honors and run the entire schedule with AM Racing, driving the No. 22 Toyota Tundra owned by his father Tim Self. After failing to qualify for the third race of the season at Martinsville, Self took the place of Tommy Joe Martins, who damaged his truck in qualifying and was not able to race. Ironically, Self recorded his highest Camping World Truck Series finishing 15th.

In his rookie season of 2016, Self was penalized two times in the first three races. After the first race at Daytona, he was given a warning for an illegal triangular filler panel. After the third race at Martinsville, he was given a warning for trailing arm infractions.

After his family team merged with Win-Tron Racing, Self began driving trucks out of the Win-Tron shop in Mooresville, NC beginning with the thirteenth race of the season at Bristol.

Self started the 2017 season on a high note when he finished second at Daytona. However, AM Racing did not enter the following week's race at Atlanta as they planned to focus on building the team. In May, Self joiend Niece Motorsports and the No. 45 Chevrolet at Kansas.

He is a native of Austin, Texas.
