In the press release, AM Racing mentioned nothing about a possible return, but Deegan’s status for Pocono Raceway has received a big update. According to FOX Sports’ Bob Pockrass, AM Racing is unsure who will be in the No. 15 Xfinity car at Pocono Raceway, while Deegan’s status with the race team is also uncertain. This is the first time AM Racing has suggested that Deegan won’t return to the No. 15 car after the race weekend at the Chicago Street Course on Saturday.
