ThorSport Racing’s Ty Majeski returns to the NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series Playoffs for the second time in his career. Last season, Majeski earned a spot in the Playoffs’ Championship 4 Round and raced for a title at Phoenix but ultimately finished the season fourth in the championship standings. One difference heading into this year’s postseason is Majeski will also be competing in the ASA Stars National Tour simultaneously, which he thinks will benefit him.
“You know it’s not too often that a 23-race Truck schedule and a 10-race ASA schedule really overlap,” said Majeski. “We wanted to start off running the ASA Tour, it’s a great opportunity for us as a Late Model team. I think it is a good distraction. I think anytime you have a balance and can sustain a race car throughout the season is good. … And it’s fun. I enjoy going back to my roots.”
Despite the extra seat time, Majeski is focused on winning the CRAFTSMAN Truck Series title this season.
“We want to compete for championships,” said Majeski during NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series Playoff Media Day driver availabilities. “We feel like we have the people around us to do it, the equipment do it. I feel like now I have the experience to just do the little things better. … We want to come out of Phoenix a champion.”
Majeski made his series track debut at this weekend’s Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park last year, where he started sixth and finished eighth.
