Hailie Deegan's Big Leap to NASCAR's Xfinity Series
NASCAR
Hailie Deegan, the only woman to compete full-time in NASCAR's top three series, is set to make a significant jump from the Truck Series to another Series in 2024. This move is of immense pride for her father, motocross legend Brian Deegan.
A New Chapter in Deegan's Racing Career
Hailie is ready to take on a new challenge in NASCAR's second tier, the Xfinity Series. This monumental move comes after a multiyear deal with AM Racing. Despite not having a standout record in the Trucks, Deegan's popularity is undeniable, with millions of followers across various social media platforms.
Support from Family and Sponsors
Deegan's promotion to the Xfinity Series is backed by Ford and new sponsors Airbox and Viva Tequila Seltzer. Her father expressed his joy on Instagram, saying, "Checking out the race shop Hailie is racing out of. It’s a family-based team with good morals that want to help develop her race craft. Hard work delivers good results. We’ve come a long way from modkarts at the off-road series.“
Despite her popularity, some may question if her fame secured her spot in the Xfinity Series, given her meager stats in the Truck Series. Regardless, the confidence shown by AM Racing in Hailie Deegan's potential is evident as they plan to expand their team next season.
