HAILIE DEEGAN Finishes 17th in Drama-Filled Indy NXT Practice at Laguna Seca

July 26, 2025

• HAILIE DEEGAN clocked in 17th for HMD Motorsports during a red flag-heavy Practice 2 at Laguna Seca, turning 11 laps and posting a 1m17.6992s lap time. While finishing toward the back of the 19-car field, she managed to avoid the session’s multiple incidents that sidelined other drivers.
• The practice session was a masterclass in chaos management, with two red flags cutting into valuable track time. Dennis Hauger’s early barrier contact left him with just one lap completed, while Jack William Miller’s on-track stoppage further limited running for the entire field.
• Caio Collet emerged from the drama to top the timesheet for HMD Motorsports, recovering from his own earlier spin to claim P1 with a 1m14.0546s lap. The Brazilian’s late-session surge highlighted how quickly fortunes can change when track time is at a premium in interrupted sessions.
