“Hailie has shown in her brief time behind the wheel of a stock car that she’s got what it takes to be successful,” said Mark Rushbrook, global director, Ford Performance Motorsports.
“Our goal is to put her on a path to realize our shared goal of winning championships and part of that is gaining experience on tracks such as road courses and superspeedways. We feel this year will serve as a good foundation for what lies ahead,” Rushbrook concluded.

Deegan became the first woman to claim a victory in the ARCA Menards Series West (previously NASCAR K&N Series West). She’s run with the series in the previous two seasons. In 14 starts, she’s picked up three wins along the way.
“I could not be more excited to join Ford Performance and DGR-Crosley,” said Deegan.
“It became clear quickly that I align with the Ford Performance vision of driver development and our shared drive to win. It is also extra special to get to race with Ford, a family company, that already had ties to my family. Growing up watching my dad race a Ford, and now to be able to do the same thing is very cool.”
“It’s also important to me to be teamed up with a hardworking group such as DGR with like minded vision and goals.”
“We are all committed to work as hard as it takes to finish on top. I look forward to the upcoming season and learning as much as possible to get me closer to accomplishing my goals of winning races.”
