Maybe probably the most spectacular efficiency throughout NASCAR Championship Weekend was Ty Majeski within the Truck Sequence. Nevertheless, there was a little bit of drama earlier than Majeski raised his trophy final week.
Ty Majeski didn’t win a race till the very finish of the common season. Then he turned it up a notch.
Nevertheless, a few days earlier than Majeski was set to race for a championship, he was fined. The motive force missed out on the manufacturing day for the Championship 4. NASCAR hit him with a $12,500 penalty.
Jeff Gluck and Jordan Bianchi of The Athletic spoke in regards to the high-quality and championship after the weekend in Phoenix.
“After all, my new theme of no matter probably the most NASCAR factor to occur additionally goes with Ty Majeski,” Gluck mentioned on The Teardown podcast. “As a result of clearly he wouldn’t have been within the championship race if Taylor Grey had not been knocked out of the best way at Martinsville. Plus, there was an issue this week as a result of Ty Majeski will get fined $12,500 for skipping the Truck Sequence content material day which occurred to be on election day. He went dwelling to Wisconsin to vote, he mentioned he didn’t wish to vote absentee, he all the time votes in particular person.
“NASCAR mentioned that they didn’t know that that was the explanation he missed. In order that they fined him they didn’t know till after they fined him that he was voting, and they’d have labored with him. Nevertheless, it got here out that they fined him for principally, individuals interpreted it as they fined him for voting. So, then in fact that man wins the championship in a dominant vogue within the Truck Sequence. So, in fact.”
Ty Majeski gained off of Christian Eckes’ mistake
One of many explanation why Ty Majeski gained the Truck Sequence championship was what occurred at Martinsville. On the ultimate restart, it seemed like Majeski was on his approach out of the playoffs.
Taylor Grey was within the lead, which might give him the ultimate spot within the championship race. Nevertheless, Christian Eckes, who led probably the most laps, didn’t let that occur. He acquired bodily with Grey and took the win away.
“He did, he solely acquired in by the best way as a result of the week earlier than a man was pushed out of the lead in a late race scenario who in reality, if Taylor Grey had gained that race, Ty Majeski wouldn’t have certified for the Championship 4,” Bianchi added.
Majeski constructed as much as an ideal finish to the season. He’s a short-track grasp and the most effective Tremendous Late Mannequin drivers in America. Placing him in that championship race was all the time a nasty guess for Eckes. However on the time, I’m undecided Eckes was excited about the implications of profitable that Martinsville race.
