At the Texas Motor Speedway earlier, the sixth place belonged to a delighted Hailie Deegan who notched up one of the best finishes of her career in the Truck Series. Naturally, the #13 driver was delighted, but it is safe to say that some fans did not share that sentiment.
The 21-year-old Truck Series driver had several critics believing she simply lucked out in the race. This was largely because there were multiple big ones that eliminated several cars from the equation. All that Deegan had to do was stay alive in the competition and avoid wrecks.
A point in her favor is that she is improving in leaps and bounds. In her last two races, she managed to break into the Top 20 with a best finish of 12th. Thorsport Racing is an organization that is capable of winning races, with 46 under its belt. To make matters even better, the team boasts of having the 2021 champion Ben Rhodes in the squad.
According to many critics, without all of those crashes, she would not have finished as high as she did.
