Hailie Deegan

Hailie Deegan started racing at the age of eight and has been the only female driver in the Lucas Oil Off Road Pro series, as well as regional series to win championships in 2013, 2015 and 2016, along with being the only youth to ever win the Lucas Oil Off Road Pro series Driver of the Year award (2016).

In 2025, Hailie Deegan is transitioning from NASCAR to open-wheel racing, specifically joining the INDY NXT by Firestone series with HMD Motorsports. She will be driving the #38 car. This move comes after Deegan's time in the NASCAR Xfinity Series and Craftsman Truck Series, where she also experienced some struggles. She will be teammates with Sophia Floersch, who is also joining HMD Motorsports in 2025. Deegan's decision to switch to open-wheel racing was influenced by her experience in the SRX series and a test in an F3 car, which sparked her interest in the open-wheel side of motorsports.

Hailie has been surrounded by some of the best coaches, mechanics and industry leaders her entire life. With these resources at her fingertips, she is confident that she can continue to find success in all forms of racing. Hailie is working her way up the ranks in Short-Course Off Road, ARCA and NASCAR.

In Hailie’s first season driving in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series West in 2018, she scored her first win at Meridian Speedway in Idaho, and went on to capture two more checkered flags in the 2019 season making her the only female to have won races in the K&N Pro Series to date.

This year Hailie will be driving full-time for DGR-Crosley which is partnered with Ford in 2020. Deegan will run the full 20-race ARCA Menards Series schedule in the seat of the No. 4 Ford Fusion, as well as select sports-car events in a Mustang GT4 in the IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge. She will be in the best equipment and with the best team in the series, positioning her to compete for a championship in her rookie season in the ARCA Menards Series.
