NASCAR Rising Star Hailie Deegan Moves To ThorSport Racing

In the wake of the 2022 Truck Series season, fans wondered about the fate of NASCAR’s beloved driver, Hailie Deegan, as her contract with the NASCAR Ford team ended, leaving her without a drive for 2023. Ford Performance made a significant announcement on December 15th, revealing that Deegan will be continuing her journey in the Truck Series behind the wheel of a Ford F-150 race truck, joining ThorSport Racing for the upcoming season.

Heading into her third full-time season in the 2023 Truck Series, Deegan’s racing career has shown promise. Since joining the NASCAR Ford Performance driver development program in 2019, she has made notable strides. With her best finish being sixth place at Talladega Superspeedway and three top-10 finishes in her Truck Series career, Deegan’s prowess on the track is evident. Beyond the Truck Series, she has also showcased her talent driving an Xfinity Series Ford Mustang racer and secured victories in the ARCA Menards Series West.

Deegan is set to command the No. 13 NASCAR Ford F-150 in the upcoming season, although specifics about her sponsor lineup are yet to be disclosed. Joining seasoned drivers like Matt Crafton and Ben Rhodes at ThorSport Racing, Deegan’s presence promises an exciting dynamic on the track. Notably, ThorSport’s shift from Toyota Tundra trucks to Ford F-150 trucks for the 2023 season marks a new chapter for the team, solidifying their commitment to success in NASCAR.
