🇺🇸 Hailie Deegan

Hailie Deegan is an entry-level professional competing across multiple national single-class stock car and open-wheel series in the United States. She drives full-time in the ARCA Menards Series West for Bill McAnally Racing, fielding a Chevrolet SS, and has accumulated 149 starts across eight seasons of racing since 2019. Her Racer Rating of 3,452 places her among developing competitors establishing themselves at the lower end of the professional level.[1]

Deegan's record spans NASCAR Truck, ARCA Menards, NASCAR Xfinity, and Indy NXT, with her primary focus on oval-track racing; she logged 59 of 69 starts on ovals in the Truck Series and 26 of 27 in the ARCA Menards Series proper. She has taken six career podiums, including three in the ARCA Menards Series and two in ARCA Menards West. In 2024 she moved to open-wheel racing with Indy NXT at HMD Motorsports, her first campaign in that series, before returning to ARCA stock cars. Her most extensive tenure came with Bill McAnally Racing across the ARCA Menards and West series, and earlier with David Gilliland's team in the ARCA Menards East in 2020.[2]

On the ovals where she competes most regularly, Deegan typically races among professionals and semi-professionals of mixed experience. She has finished ahead of elite-level drivers including two-time ARCA champion Ty Gibbs multiple times and 2016 ARCA champion Chase Briscoe on occasion, though she usually runs behind 2024 Xfinity champion Chandler Smith when they have competed together. Against Tanner Gray, a regular opponent across the truck and ARCA series, she has run closely matched.
