Hailie Deegan is making a swift return to racing after losing her ride in the NASCAR Xfinity series. Deegan will race in the Trans Am Series with the legendary Ken Schrader for Team SLR. Her recent appearance in a racing garage hints at a new permanent drive.
The upcoming Trans Am race at Lime Rock Park, scheduled for July 19-20, will feature Deegan and Schrader in a 60-minute event. The race includes several other prominent drivers and promises intense competition.
Deegan’s abrupt split with AM Racing during the week of the Chicago street race, where Joey Logano replaced her, caught many off guard. Despite the setback, Deegan remains committed to racing, with fans eagerly anticipating her next move.
Rumors suggest Deegan might be exploring opportunities in the IndyCar Series, with sightings at the Indy NXT event at Iowa Speedway fueling speculation. Her potential shift from NASCAR to IndyCar would be an unconventional but exciting career move, as she assesses her options across different racing disciplines.
Deegan’s background in dirt track racing and off-roading, combined with her previous success on road courses, positions her well for a diverse range of opportunities. As she navigates her next steps, the racing community remains abuzz with anticipation for Deegan’s future.
