Meet Hailie Deegan,

You might have heard about many success stories in the racing world, but it is not every day that you come across a 17 year old female NASCAR Pro Series race winner. Hailie Deegan stepped into the world of racing at the age of 8, and her passion for the sport only grew with time with constant support from her father - Brian Deegan, a professional freestyle motocross rider himself, who saw the potential early on.

Car racing is not considered to be a typical choice for girls, but Hailie had her goals set early on as she started racing off road as well on dirt at quite a young age. It was in 2016 that Hailie moved on to racing on asphalt and pursue her dream to be a professional stock car racer. Till now, Hailie has set many landmark victories in her career, including; her win in the Luas Oil Off Road Racing Series as the first female champion, being the Modified Kart National Champion for two consecutive years (2015 & 2016), and winning the title of the Lucas Oil Off Road Driver of the Year 2016.

Here is a daughter, whose passion and knowledge of her sport, consistent hard work, and motivation from her father has empowered her to live her dream , overcoming every obstacle that come her way!

Here's to amazing women being at the top of their game!
