Hailie Deegan’s status in NASCAR receives a big update in 2024
Hailie Deegan will not drive the No. 15 Xfinity car for AM Racing at the Chicago Street Course as the organization evaluates its equipment with two-time NASCAR Cup Series champion Joey Logano. 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. Deegan’s future with AM Racing hasn’t been updated since Monday, when the team announced that Logano would pilot the No. 15 car. Now, the 22-year-old driver’s future is questionable. This doesn’t sound like a one-week absence that automatically places her back in the entry. Deegan’s status with AM Racing is unclear, with more answers possibly coming in Chicago.
