STATESVILLE, N.C. — Hailie Deegan will return to Bill McAnally Racing to vie for the ARCA Menards Series West Series title aboard the No. 16 Chevrolet SS.
The No. 16 returns to competition after a one-year hiatus as Deegan looks to claim the eighth title for the number under BMR’s umbrella.
Deegan’s return to the AMSW competition will feature NAPA Auto Care in BMR’s 36th year of partnership with the NAPA brand. BMR’s budding partnership with Columbia Bank, based in Tacoma, Wash., will be featured in four events, along with Monster Energy on board the No. 16 Chevrolet.
The 2026 season marks the Temecula, Calif., native’s second tour of duty with BMR, as she ran two AMSW seasons in 2018-2019 when she tallied three victories along with 13 top-five results and 23 top-10 finishes in 28 races.
“I couldn’t be more excited to reunite with Bill [McAnally] and the BMR team,” Deegan said. “I’ve been away from stock cars for a bit but am focused on coming back stronger and competing for wins and a championship. Having Columbia Bank and Monster Energy on board and working with NAPA Auto Care again is going to be a thrill, and our goal is to get them to victory lane multiple times this year.”
“Having Hailie back on our team is incredibly special,” McAnally said. “We enjoyed working together several years ago and won some races. I see the commitment she has for competing at this level and we want to be part of her success. She has the knowledge of winning out West and we have a great chance to chase our 12th title with her and Mason Massey in the fold.”
