MOORESVILLE, N.C. – Officials from Ford Performance and DGR-Crosley announced Wednesday that Hailie Deegan will make her NASCAR Gander RV & Outdoors Truck Series debut at Kansas Speedway on Oct. 17. “Honestly, I wasn’t even planning on running any Truck races this year, but in order to qualify for the races that I want to run in the future, I have to run this race,” Deegan noted in a Twitter video Wednesday. I think our goal is going to be just to finish the race. Deegan is a three-time winner in the former NASCAR K&N Pro Series West, now known as the ARCA Menards Series West.
