GRRL! SUMMARY:

HAILIE DEEGAN leveraged her 1.7 million Instagram following to showcase her training regimen, posting workout videos featuring strength training and cardio while promoting her content on the Passes platform. The 23-year-old is using her social media presence to maintain fan engagement during her transition from NASCAR to open-wheel racing.
The former NASCAR Xfinity driver successfully completed her first oval test in an Indy NXT car at Nashville Superspeedway, describing the experience as a major confidence boost despite morning setup challenges. DEEGAN noted the car felt “super comfortable” once dialed in and expressed that ovals would be more familiar territory for her given her stock car background.
After her NASCAR dream ended with AM Racing in October 2024, DEEGAN made a strategic pivot to Indy NXT with HMD Motorsports, debuting in the No. 38 car at St. Petersburg. Her transition represents a calculated move from stock cars to open-wheel competition, positioning herself in IndyCar’s official feeder series where she can rebuild her racing career.
