In the video we see Hailie trying to sit in a deep freezer filled with water and ice. She keeps resisting, then finally sits in it, only to scream. One of her friends tells her that she completed a good 25 seconds and urges her to soak in further, also asking her to take deep breaths.

But Deegan refuses and jumps out, claiming that her legs hurt due to the extreme cold.

In the captions Deegan wrote, First and last time I’ll ever be trying a ice bath😂. Anyone who knows me, knows that I hate being cold so this was miserable.

Her highest finish this season was in 10th place at Mid-Ohio. Moreover, she’s also been involved in multiple crashes that have even ended her races, although not all of those crashes were her fault.
