NASCAR podcast: Hailie Deegan

New NASCAR winner Hailie Deegan makes her debut on the podcast, first to relive her K&N West victory over the weekend at Meridian Speedway and then to offer insight into who she is.

Deegan explains why she had already thought about the move she would make if she found herself in second position again, and the priceless reaction her mom filmed on Instagram. From there Deegan digs into her childhood and growing up following what famous father Brian Deegan did, wanting to be at the track and how she got her start in racing. Deegan also sheds light on her full birth name, nickname, favorite food, and funny morning routine. Plus, how would she describe her personality and what does she want people to think when hearing her name?
