Hailie Deegan has taste. While the NASCAR Truck Series driver may not be having the best of season behind the wheel, she isn’t letting her spirits go down. And what better way to lift up your spirits than to let the power of music overtake you, right?

Because that’s exactly what Deegan did.

Hailie Deegan raises her voice against one element of NASCAR

Recently, the young NASCAR driver, Hailie Deegan spoke out against the insane lengths to which NASCAR races tend to run for, both in terms of time and distance.

She pointed towards something she wants everyone to “think about it.” She said as a driver, one wouldn’t want to sit in the car for half the race if the length is shorter.

“Nothing happens during most cup races till the last stage for that reason. Also if you want younger fans to take interest, you have to keep in mind there attention span is shorter,” Deegan wrote.

However, Hailie Deegan wasn’t the only one in her criticism of the average NASCAR race length. Another star, from the Cup Series, Kevin Harvick also had voiced his disapproval of the time races tend to run for.

“I think the Daytona 500, obviously, needs to be 500 miles. And the Coke 600 could be debated. But the rest of these races, they shouldn’t even allow them to have 500 mile races,”  Harvick said.
