Ty Majeski Appeals Fine for Missing Mandatory Media Day

NASCAR Truck Series driver Ty Majeski plans to appeal a $12,500 fine imposed by NASCAR for missing a mandatory Championship 4 media day. Majeski, recently confirmed to compete for the 2024 Truck title, chose to vote in Wisconsin on Election Day instead of attending the media event in North Carolina. Majeski and his ThorSport Racing team communicated their decision to NASCAR, citing the unprecedented nature of the situation and the importance of fulfilling his civic duty. He emphasized that he only learned of his Championship 4 status shortly before the event, leaving him committed to voting in person as he has never used an absentee ballot. Majeski's decision reflects a broader sense of responsibility to participate in democratic processes, despite the significant financial penalty. NASCAR officials cited his failure to meet media obligations as the reason for the fine, while Majeski maintains that his actions were justified.
