Making her return to Oklahoma, NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series driver, Hailie Deegan (Temecula, Cali.) will be back on track for the 39th annual Tulsa Shootout, happening December 26-31, 2023 at the SageNet Center in Tulsa, Okla.

Last competing at the “Mecca of Micros” in Non-Wing competition during the 2022 event, Deegan placed 13th in the seventh C-Feature.

“So, my first trip to the Shootout was my first time in my own Micro. I’d raced other people’s cars a few times here and there, but that was my first experience, and it was by jumping into the big fishbowl,” chuckled Hailie.

“It was tough, but it was really cool to experience it and to know now what to expect coming back, and now that I’ve had a few more laps, I can do better this time.”

Just finishing her third season in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, the 2024 season will see her switch gears into the NASCAR Xfinity Series with AM Racing.

Racing the Tulsa Shootout with her fiancé, Chase Cabre, both are well attuned to the pressures of racing on the national/global stage. While the goal of any athlete is to win, the ultimate goal will be simple for Deegan when she’s in Tulsa. To have fun.

“It’s definitely less pressure, and I’m going there to have fun, and enjoy it. I don’t have anything on the line when going there, so it’s more a fun type of racing and a lot less pressure than the NASCAR side of things.”
