Just over three weeks ago – at the last Truck Series race before the two-week break for the Olympics – Ty Majeski broke The Blue Oval’s winless streak in the division, putting his No. 98 NASCAR Ford F-150 in Victory Lane at Indianapolis Motorsports Park. Majeski hit the ground running at Richmond Raceway on August 10th, 2024, bringing his F-150 race truck back to the winner’s circle for the second time in as many race.
Majeski took the lead for the final time with eight laps left, snagging the top spot on a late-race restart. He was able to distance Christian Eckes, driver of the No. 19 Chevy Silverado RST, by just .939 seconds at the stripe, rectifying a devastating loss at the same track last season and earning his fifth win in the Truck Series.
“This feels good, we’ve had great ThorSport trucks here at Richmond the last two years, but found different ways to lose them (races) and tried to do that again tonight,” Majeski said. “We really need to clean that stuff up.”
Layne Riggs’ No. 38 Ford F-150 finished fifth, and Ben Rhodes’ No. 99 F-150 was the next-best Blue Oval team, pulling off a seventh-place finish in the No. 99 NASCAR Ford truck.
As a reminder, the race at Richmond marked the final of the regular Truck Series season, meaning the Playoffs field has been set and the 10 drivers able to race for a championship through the next round of eliminations has been decided. Of those, only two are NASCAR Ford drivers: Majeski and Rhodes.
The following drivers made the Playoffs cutoff:
- Corey Heim, No. 11 Toyota TRD Tundra
- Christian Eckes, No. 19 Chevy Silverado RST
- Ty Majeski, No. 98 Ford F-150
- Nicholas Sanchez, No. 2 Chevy Silverado RST
- Rajah Caruth, No. 71 Chevy Silverado RST
- Grant Enfinger, No. 9 Chevy Silverado RST
- Tyler Ankrum, No. 18 Chevy Silverado RST
- Taylor Gray, No. 17 Toyota TRD Tundra
- Ben Rhodes, No. 99 Ford F-150
- Daniel Dye, No. 43 Chevy Silverado RST
