HAILIE DEEGAN Shares Training Routine Ahead of First Indy NXT Oval Challenge

June 4, 2025

• HAILIE DEEGAN is putting in serious gym work as she prepares for her first oval race in Indy NXT at World Wide Technology Raceway on June 15. The 23-year-old shared her strength training routine on Instagram, proving she’s taking the physical demands of open-wheel racing seriously as she continues adapting from her NASCAR background.
• The transition from stock cars to Indy NXT hasn’t been kind to DEEGAN so far – she’s sitting 18th in championship standings with a season-best finish of 14th at St. Petersburg. Her Detroit Grand Prix weekend was particularly rough, managing only 16th place while her HMD Motorsports teammates Caio Collet and Juan Manuel Correa both podiumed.
• DEEGAN has been transparent about the challenges of adapting to open-wheel racing, particularly calling out the series’ lack of power steering as a major adjustment. With 68 points through five races and over 170 points behind series leader Denis Hauger, she’s facing the reality that rookie seasons in new disciplines can be humbling even for established drivers.
