You're going to notice Ty Majeski at Slinger a lot more in 2026

It's hard to miss Ty Majeski in 2026. You'll notice a lot more of the '24 NASCAR truck champion at Slinger, and not just because of his car's color.

SLINGER – Beneath that screaming neon vinyl, Ty Majeski’s race cars haven’t changed. They’re just harder to miss as he picks his way through the field than when they were black. Majeski demonstrated that for home state fans April 26 at Slinger Speedway, and he’ll try again with the Midwest Tour Joe Shear Classic May 2.

And then fans will have plenty more opportunities to watch Majeski at Slinger in 2026 than ever as the 2024 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series champion from Neenah attempts his most ambitious schedule at the venerable quarter-mile. “I love racing in general. It doesn't matter if it's here or anywhere,” Majeski said after winning the season-opening Jerry Priesgen Memorial 100, his 41 st victory on the ASA Midwest Tour.

“I'm a racer by heart and have a lot of great people behind me and to be able to do 20 late model races on top of 25 truck races and traveling up and down the road all the time and still finding time at home to spend with my family. “I've done it for so long and been competitive for so long as well. This industry changes so much by the week and you're always having to get better and find different things to stay ahead of the program.

And it takes people to do that. ” One recent change in the industry unrelated to the change in Majeski’s car is the ownership of Slinger Speedway. The approach taken by Travis and Kelsey Dassow as they begin their second season of track ownership is what will bring Majeski for three $7,000-to-win “triple crown” races May 17, Aug.
