Majeski and the No. 98 team had a fast truck at Miami and were in the mix throughout the race. Unfortunately, Majeski got involved in an accident on pit road, which forced the team to make an extra pit stop and put them behind. Despite this, the No. 98 Soda Sense truck was the fastest on track during the final run, and Majeski managed to finish in 11th place. Heading to Martinsville, Majeski will be one of the top favorites.
