MOORESVILLE, N.C. — Hailie Deegan will make her NASCAR Xfinity Series debut Oct. 15 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
Deegan made the announcement on YouTube on Tuesday afternoon. Deegan, a regular in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, will wheel the No. 07 SS Green Light Racing Ford with sponsorship from Pristine Auctions.
“I really wanted to make my Xfinity debut for sure on a mile-and-a-half (track) because that’s where I feel most comfortable,” Deegan said.
Deegan is in the midst of her second full-time season in the Truck Series, where she drives the No. 1 Monster Energy Ford with David Gilliland Racing.
Deegan doesn’t know what her schedule will be for next season.
“I don’t know yet. I wish I knew and had it figured it out already,” Deegan said, “but we’re still working through a few things.”
Deegan, 21, posted a career-best finish of sixth at Talladega (Ala.) Superspeedway, her second top-10 finish of the Truck season and third of her career.
Deegan is the daughter of action-sports star Brian Deegan.
