Hailie Deegan and AM Racing announced they would part ways after 17 Xfinity Series races following the weekend at the Chicago Street Course. It was a disappointing end for Deegan, who struggled in the No. 15 Xfinity car. Then, the former Xfinity Series driver was spotted at Iowa Speedway last weekend, where the NTT IndyCar Series was racing.
According to David Land, Deegan was on site for the IndyCar weekend at Iowa, specifically hanging around Indy NXT. This is very notable as Deegan looks to make the best decision for her racing career. Could a move to Indy NXT with a team, such as Andretti Global, allow her to join the NTT IndyCar Series eventually?
Andretti Global has an extensive Indy NXT program, which could allow Deegan to develop for a few years at only 22 years old. Deegan hasn’t run well in the Xfinity or Truck Series, so a move to an open-seat vehicle shouldn’t be ruled out. There is still a place for Deegan in NASCAR but the IndyCar Series would be another great landing spot.
