Personal life
Removed this source and aforementioned quote <b style="background:#006A4D; padding:2px"> NASCARfan0548  ↗ </b> 21:13, 17 October 2020 (UTC)
 * "In February 2017 Majeski moved from his home state of Wisconsin to Charlotte, North Carolina to be closer to the racing community." - This sentence will need to be reworded to match the MJS source placed at the end of it ✅, changed Charlotte, North Carolina to just North Carolina., is that good enough? <b style="background:#006A4D; padding:2px"> NASCARfan0548  ↗ </b> 21:13, 17 October 2020 (UTC)
 * "as a senior majoring in engineering." - mechanical engineering ✅ <b style="background:#006A4D; padding:2px"> NASCARfan0548  ↗ </b> 21:13, 17 October 2020 (UTC)
 * "He has also been the number one ranked player in the world for the online racing simulator IRacing.com, which sponsors him in his racing." - none of this is mentioned in the Roush Fenway Racing PR piece. Another source containing all this information will need to be put in its place
 * It is a critical part of his career and I restored with 2 citations. His iRacing ability had opened doors for his tweat from Dale Earnhardt Jr. It has been his sponsor since he started in late model racing and it was his sponsor in the NASCAR Trucks. I saw MANY reliable sources for this statement as I helped build the article.  Royal broil  02:57, 18 October 2020 (UTC)

Motorsports career results
WikiProject NASCAR doesn't do that to results tables. <b style="background:#006A4D; padding:2px"> NASCARfan0548  ↗ </b> 21:15, 17 October 2020 (UTC) ✅ <b style="background:#006A4D; padding:2px"> NASCARfan0548  ↗ </b> 14:04, 18 October 2020 (UTC) WikiProject NASCAR doesn't do keys for finishing positions. <b style="background:#006A4D; padding:2px"> NASCARfan0548  ↗ </b> 21:15, 17 October 2020 (UTC)
 * All the tables should include the scope="col"s at the columns for MOS:DTT compliance
 * I afraid that I cannot accept that argument as there are multiple GA and FA level motorsport-related articles that feature scope="col"s in the columns of tables to comply with accessibility guidelines. MWright96 (talk) 08:22, 18 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Considering adding in the key that the small number denotes the finishing position
