After recording a career-best Xfinity Series result of 12th at Talladega, Hailie Deegan has had a couple of rough weeks, including the May 11 race at Darlington, where the AM Racing driver finished 36th after being involved in an incident early in the final stage that the Fox cameras missed what caused it.
Soon after the race ended, the rookie driver felt strong enough about what happened to share her version of events on X, a platform she hasn’t posted on since February 23.
“Before everyone jumps to conclusions, I was on the top lane and the 07 (who was a lap down) doored me off turn 4 and it cut my LR tire,” Deegan said. “I kept it out of the wall when my tire shredded but without the door foam we weren’t allowed to keep going. Not my fault they don’t have a replay.”
