HAILIE DEEGAN & MIA LOVELL Script Historic ARCA West 1-2 Finish

November 1, 2026

• HAILIE DEEGAN took the lead from pole-sitter MIA LOVELL on lap one of the Kern Raceway finale, leading until rain ended the 150-lap race at 42 laps, handing Deegan her second win of the 2026 season.
• MIA LOVELL claimed her first career ARCA Menards Series West pole by just 0.007 seconds over Deegan, securing an all-female front row before holding on for a historic second-place finish.
• The 1-2 result marks the first time two women have swept the top two finishing positions in an ARCA Menards Series West race, the latest milestone in a landmark 2026 season for women in the series.
• At Phoenix Raceway in October, DEEGAN and LOVELL were among six women competing together in the same West series race — another series record — with four women finishing in the top 10.
• DEEGAN now boasts five wins, five poles and 32 top-10s across three West series seasons; she has stated her 2027 goal is a return to the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, though no deal is confirmed.
