Familiar Shoes
After a short break from stock car racing to pursue open-wheel competition, Hailie Deegan is back with familiar faces. The Temecula, Calif., native will return to the ARCA Menards Series West (AMSW) with Bill McAnally Racing (BMR) for the 2026 season. Deegan launched her progression through the NASCAR ranks at BMR, where she took her first major step on the national radar from 2017-19. The pairing produced three wins and 13 top-five finishes across two AMSW seasons. Deegan’s return to BMR is a strategic move to reestablish comfort and compete to win races on a weekly basis.
