Hailie Deegan to make her Truck Series debut at Kansas Speedway

On Wednesday, DGR-Crosley announced that Hailie Deegan will make her Truck Series debut on October 17th from Kansas Speedway, a day after the ARCA Menards Series concludes the 2020 season. Deegan is in her first full-time season in the ARCA Menards Series and is currently in third place in the point standings. She has four top-five finishes and sixteen top-ten finishes. The 19-year-old from California will drive the No. 17 Ford F-150.

Deegan made history in 2018 when she became the first female to win a stock-car race in the old NASCAR K&N Pro Series West (now ARCA Menards Series West) at Meridian Speedway. She also collected five top-five finishes, twelve top-ten finishes, two poles, and would finish in fifth place in the point standings. In 2019, she would win two more times at The Bullring at Las Vegas Motor Speedway and Colorado National Speedway to go along with eight top-five finishes, eleven top-ten finishes, and three poles.


It’s gonna be a big step for me. First time in the truck will be taking the green flag with no practice. Goal is to just finish the race! Can’t thank everyone enough for the support🙌 @FordPerformance @Ford pic.twitter.com/6K7BHwb6I1 — Hailie Deegan (@HailieDeegan) October 7, 2020

Currently, DGR-Crosley has one full-time truck driven by Tanner Gray in the No. 15 Ford F-150. Kansas Speedway is a 1.5-mile track, and the race will be on Saturday, October 17th, in the Clean Harbors 200 at 4 pm on FOX.
