Ty Majeski reflected on his season so far and expressed pride in bouncing back from a few bad weeks. The reigning champion credited the playoff structure for allowing such a comeback and called the format 'a tale of two seasons'.Driving the No.98 Ford, Majeski began the season strong with a podium at Daytona, but faded into a string of mid-pack finishes despite top-10 starts. However, he made a turnaround with his recent starts and logged five consecutive top-10s.Much like 2024, Corey Heim enters the playoffs as the top-seeded driver with multiple wins, but Majeski believes a repeat of last season's late surge could once again place him in contention.Reflecting upon the same, he spoke to NASCAR SiriusXM and said [0:14 onwards],"We were, I think, outside of the top ten in points at one point, and we ended up ending the regular season, 4th and 4th in regular season points. So it took a lot to crawl out of that hole, and I'm really proud of the 98 group for stay in the course and understanding this situation.""And that's the beauty about the playoffs and the point structure that we have is, it's really a tale of two seasons. You can recover from a few bad weeks in a real hurry and we saw it with with us this year. It seems like par for the course, the 98 team is sort of peaking at the same time every year right before or at the beginning of the playoffs, so I'm excited to make another run at it," he added.Ty Majeski currently sits sixth in the playoff standings with seven points to his name, while Corey Heim reigns supreme with 62 points. The playoff format rewards one-off races more than season-long consistency, and although Majeski remains winless so far, his shot at the title isn't far-fetched.Ty Majeski set to take over Matt Crafton's No.88Ty Majeski has been announced to take over Matt Crafton's No.88 Ford for the 2026 season.
