Hailie Deegan and AM Racing have publicly announced their split on social media. AM Racing has tentatively scheduled Josh Berry to drive the car at Pocono, while Joey Logano filled in at Chicago, achieving a top 10 finish.
This has sparked debate about Deegan’s future. She needs more experience in cars to provide feedback for improvements, something veteran drivers like Logano and Berry can do. Deegan, though talented, lacks the experience to guide her team effectively.
Hailie’s path has been challenging, partly due to financial support pressures and her switch from Toyota to Ford, which impacted her career progression. Many believe staying with Toyota might have yielded better opportunities.
Deegan needs to find a team that can support and develop her talent. Despite the setbacks, she remains a significant figure in the sport, inspiring many young fans. Her future in stock car racing depends on finding the right team to help her grow and succeed.
