NASCAR Fines Ty Majeski $12,500 for Missing Media Day to Vote

The reigning Truck Series champion's appeal was denied after prioritizing in-person voting over a contractual media obligation.

Ty Majeski, 2024 NASCAR Truck Series champion, was fined $12,500 for missing a key media event to vote in-person on Election Day.
Majeski stated he chose to vote in-person in Wisconsin to ensure his ballot was counted, despite knowing it conflicted with NASCAR's Championship 4 Media Day in North Carolina.
NASCAR upheld the fine, citing a breach of contractual obligations and emphasizing the media day as one of the most important promotional events of the season.
Majeski's appeal to the National Motorsports Appeals Panel was denied, with the panel affirming the penalty based on his failure to notify NASCAR of the reason for his absence.
The situation has drawn widespread criticism from fans, who argue NASCAR should have accommodated Election Day or shown leniency for Majeski's civic decision.
