Too bad Nascar doesn't understand what Rick was saying. Driving ability has been pushed to the bottom of the priority list in favor of how much money you can bring, online popularity & how Nascar can use you for marketing purposes. If they'd get behind a female driver based on their performance on the track and not how many followers they have or how much T&A they're willing to exploit themselves with to get attention, they'd find that winner they're looking for.

Actually according to Google, Rick Mast has 9 wins, if that is correct

I think Hailie needs her dad to be coaching her again. He always pushed her hard, didn't put up with her bullshit and always held her accountable. I think her downfall started when she turned 18 and pushed him away. I've been following along since she was 15 and I totally noticed that shortly after she turned 18 suddenly her dad was barely around for a few months and she didn't speak about him. I think they got into an argument and she told him she was grown, and for him to back off and let her live her life how she wants. When he was coaching her, he had her in the driver's seat of something.... anything..... all the time. When she was running Arca west and won two races her dad was right there pushing her hard. She used to be up at 5 am hitting the gym, training hard and focused as hell. Now she has put on a bunch of weight so clearly she is not as focused on training hard and being her best self as she used to be. I'm not saying she's fat, she's not, but she definitely is not as fit as she used to be. I think her boyfriend is a good kid, but I think he is a yes man because he doesn't want to argue or fight with her. He doesn't call her on her bullshit or hold her accountable just to keep the peace. That's just my two cents, I could be totally wrong but that's the vibe I've gotten for a long time now as a long time follower of her career.

It has been said that Lagono said the 15-car was getting worse the longer the run and the crew chief asked if they needed to up on air pressure or down. It sounds like they were grooming a new driver and a crew chief at the same time. You need to go down on air pressure if your car is getting worse on the longer runs. Haley knows the lingo and is capable of telling the crew what she is feeling. The crew needs to know the adjustments to make.

You have to love the double standard applied to male and female drivers. How many male drivers have had careers that lasted many years in NASCAR without ever winning a race? How many of them raced for several seasons without ever being a consistent top 10 car? Fun fact: Michael Waltrip was in the Cup series for 33 years. He ran 784 races. He had 4 wins. But Hailie Deegan fails to get a win in the first half of her first season of this series, and everyone says, "See? No talent. Never should have been given a ride." Funny how they don't say that about all the male drivers who haven't won a race yet.

Tell Hailie I love her to the moon and back 😘😘😘😘😘

I'm split on this. 1- I totally understand why they are giving up on her, she simply hasn't done anything to justify keeping her around. 2- On the other hand, she's young and inexperienced. There used to be a time when drivers had the opportunity to learn and grow in a seat before a decision was made on them. Unfortunately, those times don't exist anymore, and if you don't produce in your first year, there is always the next big rookie ready to fill your seat.

Love you Rick Mast from a Fellow Virginian, What I have seen With Hailie Deegan is that in ARCA in good Equipment she was as good as the Boys, She has had a Tough time in Trucks which I think is a Different Beast with all the Wrecking in which she was taken out many times, AM Racing even though Supposedly Supported with Stewart Haas Alliance was new and needed to get kinks out, I say look at how Good she Ran Against the SRX Boys Finished 2nd to Smoke in 1 Race top 5 in several others, She can Drive when in Comparable Equipment, I say give her a Race or 2 in the Jr Motorsports 88 or Gibbs 18 or 20 Car if She Brings Sponsorship, I know the Ford Deal is A Problem but she is Racing 4 Her Career, I think she could surprise people in Top Shelf Equipment with Experienced Crew Chief. Let's Face it, The Guys do not want a Girl to Whip their Ass so they do not Drive her Clean, You can see that in alot of her wrecks they cut her no slack.

Really good talking points. It’s that fine line between results/marketability. All motorsports have this. F1, motocross are my two biggest I watch and it’s the same deal. Who has the eyes will get a ride over who would bring better results. Especially if the two riders or drivers are only a few places apart…

I think someone in the pavement modified series ought to pick her up. And let her talent shine in a real racing series.

I think Hailie and her Fiance Chase should start their own race team in the Micro and Midget series as they are both good racers in that series. Although Hailie does it more as a hobby Chase tends to keep to a schedule doing it. One thing people fail to see is Hailie is extremely marketable and brings alot of sponsors to the table. AM motorsports are going to find out in a big way that losing her means losing a lot of sponsorship. I know I will catch a lot of flack for that last remark from all the La-Z-Boy race car expert drivers but I stand by it.

I'm sorry to see that it didn't work out b/c I like Hailie Deegan but I'm most sorry b/c she hasn't made the most from all the opportunities that she has been given. Nascar is a mess and while having a supportive fan base from social media helps to win most popular driver, it can't help for long until a driver starts being committed, toughens up and starts getting results that are consistent with what they say that they want. Her problem has always been to think like a winner.

Johanna Long was extremely talented unfortunately the money wasn't there and she didn't look like a model

Omg ,I`m voting for this guy!! please run for President

Well said

New Driver and Relative New team not good combo. May have worked if 2 car team along with Moffitt

I think her young personal life became a factor where she grew too fast. I believe once she started to get big with KZread, she lost focus on her real focus on her racing career. Additionally, I think she became more fearful after a big crash at a KZread Cleetus and Cars event at Bristol. She had a bad wreck during that event but also I believe that the COVID shutdown period was a factor because she lost a lot of in-car practice compared to when she was racing in lower NASCAR series, where she did so well but had a lot more track time instead of just weekends and simulator time.

@BlueRidgeKat1

She prefers making social media videos over in car practice any day.

The realty is that in endurance auto racing upper body strength is everything. Serina Williams would tell you that for that reason a lower ranked male could beat her in a match. The more they move up, the longer the races last, and then fatigue is a game changer.

Ms. Deegan should think about doing some dirt racing. I'd love to see what she could do in World of Outlaws or High Limit.

She had alot fo good finishes top 15's top 25's even wins in the regional races she has talent.

I'm reminded a bit of Dale Jrs. sister talked about her racing days. She was close at times about breaking thru. She was very good but got used up a great deal. Hailey did get used up her first year in trucks. When she went to Thor Sport Racing, her crew chief wanted her to rub and push and had she been able to make that happen he thought the narrative might be different.

I really don't know why people are feeling sorry for her. She is only in Nascar because of her looks and daddy. I am not much of a race fan. But I looked at her stats not so good

She needs to land someplace with a veteran teammate or mentor to help her develop her race craft at the next level. She has talent, she just needs knowledge. I'd love to say put her back in trucks but that series is pure trash. They have no respect for one another.

What makes them more top heavy than the cars ?

She was good when she was at levels that still have guys racing without unlimited money and the best equipment. The higher you go the more everyone around has great equipment and money and real ability shines. She doesn’t have the real ability and it showed

My opinion on her is that she is quite aggressive on dirt where it is assumed you will wreck. Stock car racing on asphalt is another deal where if you are perceived to cause a wreck (and take out multiple cars) everyone will jump down your throat, especially if you are a lady. She only passed someone when it was an absolutely clear path. I also believe she lacked practice time and she has mentioned this multiple times. This has definitely been an influence on her poor qualifying times. I'm with Kenny too, I believe she is a racer and loves and respects racing but big-time asphalt racing may not be for her.

She'll make a great spectator

I grew up watching racing at Five Flags Speedway in Pensacola Florida, starting in the late 60s when I was about 8 years old so I've seen a lot of great drivers most notably Rusty Wallace who owned that place whenever he showed up. I never had the money to race, but I do think after years and years of watching from the stands, you get a pretty good idea who is going to do well. In my humble opinion, I don't think the talent is there as far as Hailie Deegan is concerned, at least not at the NASCAR level, especially these days, whereas if a driver isn't improving they're not going to be around very long unless someone has very deep pockets and a willingness to stick with that driver. Kinda like GoDaddy did with Danica.

She was good racing them off road trucks could see her going back to that

Her brother is the money. He will win a title before she does.

Definitely time to start her own team. If she's as talented as everyone says she is, and if she's getting screwed as everyone says she is, then independent racing shouldn't be a problem. Start your own team and then there's no more excuses.

Wonder how she would do in say a JGR or HMS car with crew chief's who can read the driver and the car. Not saying she would ever get a ride there but it could totally weed out the question if its the team and equipment or has she hit a plateau and cannot excel further.

Every driver has expectations from the team when they're signed. Drivers who don't live up to those expectations don't remain on those teams. If she weren't from a famous family, she would just be another racer who had a shot and it didn't work out.

Funny that AM Racing was running in the top 5 and 10 last year with Moffitt driving and Deegan couldn't do shit. Your comment makes no sense.

Could it be that she is not putting in the work as she should? Instead of focusing on a boy friend, ans social media put more time into racing. I pull for her but it just seems she is not focused. Just wandering what Rick thinks about my thought process.

She was a middle of the pack racer in her first season at this level. This should have been expected. This could have been a decent career and she would have gotten better over the years if the team had a good crew chief, though maybe not a contender for a win every week. This should not have mattered and she should have been treated like any other middle of the pack racer. For Joey Lagano to take her seat is not a fair comparison, as Joey has always been good, and has gotten better with experience the last ten years. Her race team should have been happy with where she was at in experience and maybe another girl might have gotten an opportunity as well, making it more interesting. The Naysayers and meatheads that cut her down or claim that there are better drivers who could have her seat ... all that does not matter. It was just nice to have a girl (or two if possible) in the mix. It was good for the fans and she was better than maybe half the guys out there. Danica Patrick was also not treated well by these same negative fans, but having her in the circuit was also good for the fans and she also was better than half the guys so it does not matter that she was not a contender to win each week. If either of these girls got lapped 5 times each race, then maybe that would be a different story, if the team had provided good cars. Besides all this, her team should have been loyal for the entire season and beyond for at least 3 years. Bringing in another driver to test the quality of the cars is OK if there is any question there, but it should not have affected her place with the team. Very bad form. And to make a judgement based on a street race is bad form also, because street courses are less about the car and more about the driver and his skills at road courses. AM racing should be ashamed for shortening her tenure with them like this. Midpack racing is not always about getting the overall win but is a race within a race against other midpack drivers.

When he was coaching her, he had her in the driver's seat of something, anything, all the time. When she was running Arca west and won two races her dad was right there pushing her hard. She used to be up at 5 am hitting the gym and focused. Now she put on a bunch of weight so clearly she is not as focused on training hard and being her best self.

As a real fan, I would be much happier seeing her compete in top 10 in trucks - then she would have what she needs. I'm not sure it was ever in the cards no matter how much I want to believe. To be anything but honest would be an insult. I want to see her in a different situation, hopefully. Thousands of team out there trying to find magic no matter the vehicle, the series. It's tough in all of them. and the chit chat about Berry being "Tony's" driver?.... Jr is the one who found him and weaned him off the tit. Tony don't give a fk right? as we've heard? Washing his hands~I don't give two shits either. My old Home Depot #20 shirts are grease rags to me.

Feel Sad for Her she is a Good Girl Very Talented The Conversation on Danica Patrick well Tony Stewart gave her Junk to Drive,

Why is so much attention paid to this back Marker driver? If she wasn’t backed by tons of money she would vanish

No one knows the future of Hailie except Hailie, it's going to be interesting what decisions she makes. But with the next round of young talented female drivers coming up the Toyota and Chevy pipeline Hailie might get put on the back burner. Everybody feels like Jade Avedisian has a shot at being the first woman to win a race in the upper tiers of Nascar. When Jade is not racing in the midget series or the Toyota GR Cup Series, shes turning laps somewhere even if it's in a go-kart. Or she's at Toyota's TRD headquarters spending hours on a simulator. When you go on Jade's social media platforms all you see is a racing post, no pics of her posing in a bikini trying to be a model to attract fans. She's fully funded by Toyota and has a boatload of sponsors already onboard and I'm sure she will attract more as she starts racing in ARCA. Jade is like the All- American girl that will be a magnet for sponsors. Hopefully Toyota takes their time with her and lets Jade improve on her already phenomenal race craft.....

Maybe if she spent last time making KZread videos and more time concerned about her driving and racecraft she might be doing a little bit better

What's next? Unemployment line.... Chase is gone. His meal ticket is over.

Will her house on Lake Norman be up for sale?

Halie Deegan could also been let go because of the restructuring at Stewart/Hass Racing because they are closing up shop in 2025 except one team and AM Racing will be losing that technical alliance. They could be going to another manufacturer so that could put in conflict her Ford Contract.

Ford should try promoting her in Supercars learn some new skills Super 2 only has 6 race meetings a year and Wildcards...

Maybe NHRA ?

I would suggest Go-Karts

what if there were like 5 or 6 female drives in a full season where they can work together/work the field run as a group and make a run to the front and such or so on so on. I probably know why, but I just had to ask.

Try Indycar or NHRA they don't mind 2 legs,ticket sales and sponsors...alot of 3 leggers are back markers the whole career and crickets...

She should go to dirt more. She's talented for her age. People forget that because they aren't competing at the level she is

If bubba can make it in cup so can she

Rajah don't cry.

is there/could there be a market for an all female cup series in a 22 car field. No time for no only yes or yeah.

When things don't work out, there's a lot of finger pointing and reasons why both the driver and the team go their separate ways. Case is that Deegan and AM Racing didn't workout for the best results wise. Pretty much the performance weren't up to where they expected. Was she rushed? Was she in over in her head? Who knows? Deegan will retool and will be back in the future, right now she needs to refresh and refocus. Take time off from racing.

She was moved way too quickly. PERIOD She wasn't doing that great in the Arca series. It's obvious that they wanted her because of her looks and she brought money with her. She wasn't beating the guys who are running great in Trucks and Exfiny.

Deegan needs to talk to Kelly Earnhardt and see what they can do to put her in the JRM #88...imo

For what? To waste money ? Dale Jr doesn’t spend money just to spend money 🥴. Richest driver in nascar history and was too cheap to even buy a cup car charter for Josh Berry

That’s a smart plan

Hailie was 28th in points, that means she was better than a third of the field, she has the talent

I'm pretty sure she was last as far as full-time drivers in the xfinity series, so it's not a great accomplishment as far as being 28th

Yea there is only 30 plus cars per race days of 43 cars GONE

I think she should have spent a little more time down in the ranks and matured a little more as a driver but she has fun doing this and she is definitely not going to not race somewhere in one form or another she's a great entertainer

What’s next forHaley you ask? Another career!

Talent is talent and it shines one way or another, cream rises to the top! She ain't got it!

I was surprised when Brooke and Paige didn't continue as well as their cousin Nat who does limited venues. The MAJOR THING is that NO MALE wants to be "OUTSHONE" by a female, which...in today's society...is VERY chauvinistic but true. I personally have no problem with a woman "outshining" me but then that was just my upbringing. Hailie has lost that "edge" because of all of the naysayers and boo-birds that she's come across but she DOES have that DESIRE to race. She needs to QUIT listening to all of the "boos" and surround herself with PMA folks. Last year, when she was driving in that series with Schrader; Stewart; Newman; etc. was GOOD for her because she was surrounded by RACERS, NOT snot-nosed children who wants to play demolition derby instead of actually RACE their car. Years ago, the quality of racing was more of a thinking game with tracks that were more "finesse" driving instead of "groove" driving but NASCAR has all but closed off going to these places because they're losing money. I mean gosh!!!! Guys can't even "suck up" to each other anymore and how is THAT NOT racing?!?!?!?! NASCAR in GENERAL NEEDS a COMPLETE overhaul BEFORE the interest in the sport is there no more!!!! That INCLUDES MORE FEMALE; FOREIGN; & DIFFERENT ETHNIC BACKGROUNDS to race in their series WITHOUT having to settle on an inferior ride. In closing...at least Hailie NEVER lost her dignity NOR respect from other drivers around her, even THOUGH she SHOULD HAVE "BODY SLAMMED" a good MANY of them, which defines her as a RACER and NASCAR NEEDS MORE RACERS!!!!!

Good take Rick, you gotta be a good race car driver first. I don't care if they're black or female. Caitlin Clark is a good example of this, people follow her because she is an amazing baller, not because she's an attractive female. I never watched the WNBA until I hard of the NCAA all time leading scorer then I was amazed, she plays like a man. Hailie needs to step it up.
