What speaks for itself is she started 25th and continued to move up and finished 6th. 6th is in the record books lol It's all over but the crying.

There’s a reason it was so celebrated that she finished 6th. It doesn’t happen often! If she can string together 4 or 5 top 10s in the next bunch of races then I’ll shut up and I’m sure Spotter will too. I’m not gonna bank on that though.

I see you are talking to me. . I'm a fan of the family, they are a racing family and they go back to the early SPEED days for me. I was a fan of Janet Guthrie when she raced in cup. For what she accomplished in cup with the equipment she had to work with was impressive. The same bunch of hill billies only with different faces were around then as they are now. Nothing has changed in that area. But with Nascar's large proportion of women fans and men, it's good for the sport to have Hailie running in the trucks and that is one of the reasons she is so popular with racing fans, especially future fans.

You know, when her supporters are already lowering expectations for next race, that says a lot.

This is my biggest gripe with the Hailie fandom, they’re constantly lowering the bar then acting like it’s historic and talking about crow and whatever when she surpasses historically low expectations.

Combined with the fact that so many hated Danica for the same thing they’re doing now.
 
That last wreck she did quite the save - grass on grill and everything

Im a huge Deegan fan, but Im not big on excuses. I love the improvement so far. If the direct princess can pull off a top 5 in bristol=GAME. CHANGED.
 
As long as he is having fun and her car owner and sponsors are happy with her and she respects the fans that she has then she is doing pretty good with her life. She will never live up to everyones expectations. But she doesn’t really need too.

I've always said that I'm rooting for Hailie and I'm still rooting for her but it seems like some folks have actually lowered their expectations this year even though the same folks constantly told us DGR wasn't a top-tier team.
6th at Texas obviously was a good result, she did a good job staying out of the wrecks but she didn't crack the Top 10 before all the wrecks happened at the end. In a ThorSport truck you can expect someone to run amongst the Top 10 on speed every week.
Hailie was seen as a top prospect when she was in the K&N Series and unfortunately she hasn't been able to live up to that so far. You don't have to be a hater to acknowledge that.
 
honestly the Bristol Dirt race was the most I've seen out of Deegan yet, her finish won't reflect it, but her racing did, she actually showed car control when half the field couldn't handle it and was wrecking all over the place, this gives me hope for her improvement down the line. If she can somehow take what she did on dirt this weekend and apply it onto asphalt concrete it would be a big step in the right direction. She has some good confidence going.

I was impressed in the first stage.

The second and third stages looked like the same Hailie we’ve watched for two and a half years. Her finish was actually better than her performance.

She's getting ate up on restarts, on the dirt once she got space she was able to hold or advance position. Restarts probably her area with most room for improvement. If she can figure those out, we'll see her hold placement up front more often.

She was steadily dropping back, with and without restarts.
 
So is it how she runs all race that should matter, or the finish? Y’all were saying so many great things about her attrition-based 6th place last week after running 20th all day, and now you want to cling to stage 1 this week.
 
She is right on her video - the bad days seem to be "less bad" with THORSPORT
 
Two wrongs don't make it right . I dont care for pissing contest but if you must you can at least take it the podium.

If I don't care for another poster I use the ignore feature, give it a shot it is a better way to live

But but but, Thorsport will fix everything. They have the best equipment! Cory Hiem says hey, Tanner Gray 5th says hey, Taylor Gray 8th says hey and that rookie Sawalich finished 9th in lesser equipment says hello too. Conner Jones outran her. Rhodes 6th and Majeski 4th. Shes soiling Thorsports reputation.
