Ty Majeski appeals NASCAR penalty for missing Championship 4 production day

Following a $12,500 fine for missing a media obligation, Ty Majeski plans to appeal the penalty citing voting as his reason for the absence. For a NASCAR Truck Series driver, that is a hefty fine to pay.

Ty Majeski is racing for a Truck Series championship tomorrow night. He didn't know that he would be in the Championship 4, and have to do the media day, until after the race at Martinsville. So, he had already planned to go vote in person on Tuesday.

Majeski spoke with his ThorSport Racing team and go the all-clear to go vote. But that came with a big price tag. At least for now. Majeski is hoping the appeals panel finds that he had a good enough excuse.

Bob Pockrass of FOX Sports reported the appeal news.
