Chase Elliott congratulated Majeski on his fantastic achievement
Speaking after the race, Elliott stated, “It was solid and good, just not good enough. You know first off, congrats to Ty.”
“He’s one of the few guys that is fortunate to travel around the country in these cars. And I’d say he is probably the best at being able to leave his home area and go somewhere else and battle and he has proved that consistently. So I’m really happy for them.”
