Hailie Deegan started the 2022 season with some clear goals; she wanted to get better as a racecar driver and move up the ranks. But as it turned out, her campaign was full of inconsistent results.

Nevertheless, she did manage to secure her debut Xfinity Series appearance in which she finished inside the Top 20s.

But going ahead into 2023, Deegan is staring in the direction of an uncertain future, especially when it comes to her Xfinity Series hopes.

However, Deegan could still find the ride she’s looking for, and the savior in this case for her could be thanks to Tony Stewart’s team, Stewart Haas Racing. But not exactly SHR.

You see, according to Heavy, SHR’s affiliate team, SS Green Light Racing could be the Ford team where the young NASCAR driver could find her home.

Fans disapprove of Hailie Deegan’s Xfinity promotion

Now, as good as this could turn out to be for Hailie Deegan and her future in this uncertain period, there were a considerable amount of NASCAR fans to whom this potential move simply didn’t make sense.

“I wish her the best of luck but she really hasn’t proven herself enough to get a top ride. I know she has the sponsors in Monster and Ford so eventually she will be given a chance,” one fan wrote while another claimed, “If she like Danica Patrick who needs her lol.”

A fan simply rejected the possibility by reacting, “No thank you. the last one didn’t work. They will rush her up to cup to soon,” while another emphasized, “One good run in xfinity and people thinks she’s ready for a top ride. She’ll be lucky if she gets a ride.”

Earlier this year, 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 at something she wants everyone to “think about.”

Deegan 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.

Clearly, Hailie Deegan holds a very strong opinion of the length and duration of certain NASCAR races. But do fans want shorter races?
