Hailie Deegan proved her caliber to the doubters after she managed to finish in the top 15 in her debut race of the NASCAR Xfinity Series. Soon after the NASCAR fan base and community went bonkers over Twitter, as they congratulated and celebrated her talent.

Deegan managed to finish in P13 during her Xfinity Series debut at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. This also marked the highest-ever finish for a woman in her Xfinity debut. Before Deegan made this achievement, Shawna Robinson finished her debut race in the Xfinity Series at a sound 15th place back in 1991 at the Orange County Speedway.

Later during an interview, Deegan stated, “I learned so much that I haven’t got it processed yet … but I’m just happy we were able to have a good run. When you run great, it helps deals for the future,” Deegan said. “Running Xfinity costs a very big bill. You’ve got to have sponsors to pay that bill. Trying to get the funding set is definitely tough, but we’re still trying to figure out what we’re doing.”
