If this whole thing went down the way it appears it did, she may have screwed herself out of other opportunities in NASCAR for the foreseeable future.She should probably call Ford Racing first thing Monday and
ask "What next ?"
Deegan has a lot of raw talent, IMO.She doesn't sniff Danica in terms of pure talent. Danica was a respectable Cup driver, of course she didn't live up to the hype, but she wasn't a total embarrassment either.
Not being top 30 in Xfinity points is just unacceptable.
If she took AM off her sites only because Logano took a one-shot, that doesn't look very professional. It's not a Burrito-level bridge burning but the smell of gasoline is pretty strong.If this whole thing went down the way it appears it did,
Was her success coming up too easy, and she didn't learn how to work for it? I breezed through high school in those pre-AP days, hit college completely clueless, and flunked more often than not for two wasted years.Not enough experience, and a lot of that is her fault. When she was in ARCA, she should’ve been putting in the work Isabella Robusto is putting in now.
You are right , she is young enough to regroup , retrain, and retry in the future. She can now focus more on her upcoming wedding .If this whole thing went down the way it appears it did, she may have screwed herself out of other opportunities in NASCAR for the foreseeable future.

2018, 2019, 2020, she should’ve been racing every week. When ARCA was off, she should’ve been racing in SRL Southwest or CARS Tour.Was her success coming up too easy, and she didn't learn how to work for it? I breezed through high school in those pre-AP days, hit college completely clueless, and flunked more often than not for two wasted years.
I'd bet she got call from Ford before Logano. What we don't know is who decided to pull the plug on her deal, AM Racing or HailieDeegan LLC? My guess was a mutual decision AFTER she talked to Ford Executives. It wasn't getting better. Time to cut bait.She should probably call Ford Racing first thing Monday and
ask "What next ?"
From my understanding, AM Racing was still committed to Hailie Deegan when they put Joey Logano in for this race. They did this to help her!I'd bet she got call from Ford before Logano.

Probably be a while before we hear the true deal. If ever.
Who knew she'd apparently get her nose out of joint over the team and / or Ford asking for feedback from someone with that record?So … a guy with 2 Truck Series wins, 30 in Xfinity and 33 Cup Series victories with 2 Championships is better than Ms. Deegan.
Who knew?
While it sounds like a great idea, never seen a driver get temporarily replaced. Temporarily being the operative word. The press release might have that word included but reality usually seems to be different.From my understanding, AM Racing was still committed to Hailie Deegan when they put Joey Logano in for this race. They did this to help her!
Which is why this is so bizarre.
If Brian and Hailie don’t want a Cup veteran to evacuate the program and give feedback that helps her, she deserves to fail.
THIS is the correct response.So … a guy with 2 Truck Series wins, 30 in Xfinity and 33 Cup Series victories with 2 Championships is better than Ms. Deegan.
Who knew?
Not Ford driven anyway.She’s just not driven.

I'll be really shocked if she drives anything in NASCAR again this year. Experiment failed.
Hailie Deegan is out.
There has to be a performance clause.You would have to wonder how here contract stands with Ford? or even if she has one? The blue oval may be forced to pay her something yet?
It didn't seem that incendiary to me, but I have pretty low expectations from press releases, as I think most of you know.What gets me about Hailie Deegan's statement is that some PR rep looked it over and thought it was a good idea to press enter.
She basically flipped the bird to AM Racing, Stewart Haas Racing and Ford Performance.
It didn't seem that incendiary to me
Opportunities for her will be more difficult to come by going forward."I worked hard to prepare for this season after the team pursued me to drive their car. Unfortunately, it has not turned out the way that I expected. There are always several reasons within a race team as to why things do or do not work, but sadly our goals no longer align."
"It's truly only me that knows the whole story and what I need to succeed."
Hailie Deegan REALLY wants everyone to know that her subpar performance is not her fault, and she really wants you to know that the problems lie with everyone else.
One would think, Ford isn't doing much in the Xfinity series to begin withOpportunities for her will be more difficult to come by going forward.
Thats why she was driving for a team like AM. Nobody else wanted to make room for her.Opportunities for her will be more difficult to come by going forward.
I was never a Deegan fan. She didn’t seem like racing was a priority. Maybe she wakes up and becomes dedicated or maybe she fades away; makes no difference to me.Thats why she was driving for a team like AM. Nobody else wanted to make room for her.
I believe you said that 70 pages ago lol. This thread has been fantastic lol.I was never a Deegan fan. She didn’t seem like racing was a priority. Maybe she wakes up and becomes dedicated or maybe she fades away; makes no difference to me.
What did you EXPECT her to say? We had this conversation last week. Press releases and press conferences exist primarily to spin YOUR version of the truth and to either makes bold proclamations or shift blame somewhere else. Truth and reality are WAY down the list of objectives, if at all......"I worked hard to prepare for this season after the team pursued me to drive their car. Unfortunately, it has not turned out the way that I expected. There are always several reasons within a race team as to why things do or do not work, but sadly our goals no longer align."
