Hailie Deegan Eyes NASCAR Truck Series Return After Finding Success in ARCA

Hailie Deegan is positioning herself for a potential return to NASCAR’s national Truck Series after finding traction in the ARCA Menards Series West. For the 2026 ARCA West season, she reunited with Bill McAnally Racing, the team that helped launch her career. The move is aimed at rebuilding confidence and regaining the speed that made her a prominent name early on. Deegan previously ran full-time in the Truck Series from 2021 to 2023, posting five top-10 finishes across 69 starts, then moved to the NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series in 2024 and to Indy NXT in 2025, finishing 14th. In 2026, she won at Madera Speedway, and her long-term goal remains another shot at Truck Series racing, though no full-time deal has been announced.
