Ty Majeski gave it his all to reach the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series and is currently driving the No. 98 Ford F-150 for ThorSport Racing. The 31-year-old driver is currently racing his way through the playoffs, having locked into the Championship 4 again this year, marking another shot at the title after clinching one in 2024. His early days in go-karts eventually accelerated into full-blown stock-car competition and a spot among motorsport’s rising stars. And as he goes for his repeat title, here’s a glimpse into what made him the champion he is today.

Who are Ty Majeski’s parents?

Brad and Susan Majeski are the proud parents of Ty, hailing from Seymour, Wisconsin. Brad isn’t just Ty’s father; he also serves as his spotter on the track, offering real-time guidance during races and sharing in his son’s competitive journey. Susan, meanwhile, acts as Ty’s public relations manager, handling media interactions and logistics behind the scenes.

The couple supported Ty’s decision to pursue racing from a young age. When he was nine, they chose to buy him a go-kart rather than let him play title boy. They have instilled in him the values of hard work and perseverance, acknowledging that his achievements went beyond their expectations. While Brad remains active in Ty’s racing operations and Susan manages the PR aspect, the Majeskis also engage in giving back to their community.

Ty’s relationship with his grandfather

Back in 2018, Ty Majeski paid a heartfelt tribute to his grandfather, Dave Romberg, during the NASCAR Xfinity Series race at Road America. Driving his No. 60 Lilly Diabetes Ford for Roush Fenway Racing, Majeski proudly featured his grandfather’s name on the passenger side of the car to honor both Romberg and the wider Type 2 diabetes community. Romberg, who lives with type two diabetes, has long been one of Majeski’s biggest supporters and played a wider role in noting his early racing dreams.

Majeski reflected, saying, “My grandfather has been a big supporter of mine. When I was nine years old and racing go karts they (my grandparents) would always be in the stands.  Go-kart racing didn’t get many fans, but they were always there.  It was really cool, they’d travel hours to go watch me when they could. “

He went on to say, “There aren’t too many tracks they can get to nowadays, but they still go when they can.  He has been a special part of my life and career growing up and has been a big supporter of mine so to have him on the car for Lilly Diabetes weekend at Road America for Roush Fenway Racing recognized this way is really special.”

What ethnicity are Ty Majeski’s parents?

Brad and Susan Majeski seem to be American, hailing from Seymour, Wisconsin, where Ty was born and raised. Both have been deeply rooted in the local Wisconsin racing community for years. While their nationality is American, the family’s specific ethnicity has not been publicly disclosed or documented in any interviews or official records.

Inside Ty Majeski’s Relationship with His Parents

Ty Majeski has a deeply rooted and loving relationship with his parents, who have been the driving forces behind his racing career since he first stepped into a go-kart.

Brad Majeski serves not only as his father but also as his spotter and mentor, guiding him on and off the track. He has expressed immense pride in his son’s success, saying, “What he’s done in his career of racing went beyond our expectations. We never thought it would get to the point where he’s had the opportunities like he’s had here.”

Susan, who doubles as Ty’s public relations manager, has always emphasized her pride in his work ethic, saying, “Am I proud?  That’s an understatement.  I can’t even begin to tell you how proud I am.  The more you give this kid, the better he does.”

And now, as they see their son battling it out on the truck series to gain his second title, it can be said with much certainty that Susan and Brad Majeski will be watching closely as the NASCAR series heads to its penultimate race at Phoenix this weekend.
