Sophomore Journey: After a successful rookie campaign in the NASCAR Xfinity Series last season with driver Brett Moffitt, AM Racing will embark on its sophomore journey in 2024 with driver Hailie Deegan for the entire 33-race tour, continuing with Saturday afternoon’s Tennessee Lottery 250 at Nashville (Tenn.) Superspeedway.
The Statesville, N.C.-based team hopes to expand its footprint in the NASCAR Xfinity Series by running two cars throughout the season with its partial No. 25 AM Racing entry.
Future Focused: Last October, AM Racing announced that Hailie Deegan joined the family-owned operation to pilot the team’s No. 15 Ford Mustang in a multiyear agreement.
Deegan, a native of Temecula, Calif. has been a staple in the NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series for the past three seasons but will embrace her rookie season in the NASCAR Xfinity Series as part of the Ford Performance program.
Deegan grew up racing off-road and on dirt but transitioned to competing on asphalt in 2016 to pursue a career in stock car racing. She began that transition in 2018 in the ARCA Menards Series West (previously NASCAR K&N Pro Series West). She became the first female driver to win races in the West Series, doing so in the 2018 and 2019 seasons, respectively.
Deegan, 22, arrives at AM Racing after a stint driving for ThorSport Racing in 2023.
Giving You Peace of Air: For the 17th time in 2024, AirBox will serve in a major partnership role on Deegan’s No. 15 Ford Mustang in Saturday afternoon’s Tennessee Lottery 250 at Nashville (Tenn.) Superspeedway.

New Hampshire Motor Speedway | SciAps 200 Race Recap: The 16th race of the 2024 NASCAR Xfinity Series season kicked off in Loudon, New Hampshire on Saturday, June 22nd.
Flying the Viva Tequila Ford Mustang colors in the series’ lone trip to the “Magic Mile,” Deegan started her No. 15 Ford Mustang from the 30th position after Mother Nature washed out practice and qualifying earlier in the day.
Starting the race on wet weather tires, Deegan maintained a steady pace while waiting for the track to dry out before making an effort to climb through the field.
Deegan made progress throughout the race, running as high as 14th before experiencing a double dose of setbacks in Stage 3, including an untimely pit road violation and being collected in a late-race accident.
At the checkered flag, she finished a disappointing 32nd.
