Hailie Deegan

So Deegan's rookie campaign didn't go quite as well as expected, however, there was some improvement over the course of last season. She would earn her lone Top-10 finish in late August at Gateway, and she would labor to just four Top-15 finishes for the season. Deegan will get the chance to hit the reset button in 2022 and show what she learned from a tough first season. Deegan returns to the No. 1 DGR team and veteran crew chief Mike Hillman Jr. Sponsorship is solid with Monster Energy returning to help fund the team. Deegan has a lot to prove in season two, and a lot of pressure on the line. However, we believe she has the fortitude to respond.

One of the most anticipated debuts in the Camping World Truck Series this season is prospect Deegan. She dipped her toes into the truck series pool last year with just one start, but Deegan will get a full schedule of action in 2021 and race for Rookie of the Year. Deegan has been tearing up the ARCA Menards Series and K&N Pro Series West for the past three seasons. Now 19-years-old, she's ready to take the next steps in her NASCAR racing development. Deegan is tabbed to drive the No. 1 Ford for DGR this season. She will partner with crew chief Mike Hillman Jr. and his 300+ starts and 23-career truck series victories of experience. Deegan has obvious talent, gives great feedback on the car and is a quick study behind the wheel. We're being somewhat reserved with a ranking of 17th-place in the pre-season, but the sky truly is the limit for this driver and team.

Signed a driver development deal with Ford Performance. Has been slated to race the entire 2020 ARCA Series schedule with DGR Crosley. Truck Series starts will be coming in the near future.
