It’s not too often that a professional athlete has a resurgence before their 25th birthday. After a difficult 2018 season in the NASCAR XFINITY Series, that’s exactly what’s happening in 2019 for Ty Majeski.

Ty Gibbs (No. 18 Monster Energy/Terrible Herbst/ORCA Coolers/Advance Auto Parts Toyota) scored his first career ARCA Menards Series win with a last-lap pass of Sam Mayer (No. 21 Chevy Accessories Chevrolet) in Saturday’s Day to Day Coffee 150 at World Wide Technology Raceway.

On the outside, professional athletes live what most people would consider a very glamorous lifestyle. They travel all across the country – even around the world – to participate in big-time sporting events in some of the most lavish venues the human race has ever constructed. But for the participants of those sporting events, it’s not always as glamorous as it looks. For most who are involved in motorsports, the long days at the track mean there is little time left over for being a tourist. It’s usually just the race track, maybe a stop off at a local restaurant, and the hotel.
