Coming off of a successful X-Games weekend for the Deegan family, Hailie was determined to do what her dad does best; win medals. She made her way out to Glen Helen Raceway to compete in rounds 9 & 10 of The Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series. During Friday’s qualifying rounds, the famed Dirt Princess locked down an impressive 5th place position, putting her in contention for a podium finish for Saturday’s main event.
As the fans poured in to the stands, Hailie prepared mentally to take on the competition. With eighteen competitive drivers, thousands of eager fans, and a well groomed track, a prepared Hailie Deegan was ready to roost some trucks and make a podium finish.
At the start of the race Hailie got in in 5th position right behind #474 of Maxwell Ries. Strategically waiting to make her next move, Hailie saw an opportunity in turn 5 and took advantage of it, putting her in podium position. As the checkered flag waved Hailie “Dirt Princess” Deegan crossed the finish line earning a well-deserved 3rd place finish, making it her first podium in the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series. With her confidence at an all time high, Hailie was more than ready for Sunday’s main event.
A third place victory in Saturday’s Main Event set Hailie up with an even greater starting position in Sunday’s Main Event. At the drop of the green flag, Hailie moved through the pack quickly, passing #462 of Paige Porter putting her in second place just behind Myles Cheek. Maintaining her position throughout the race, with the competition in pursuit, Hailie dominated in true Mulisha fashion taking home a second place podium position. You can expect to see many more wins from Hailie as she progresses in her off road racing career. Hailie would like to give a big thanks to all of her sponsors friends and family for supporting her dreams to become off roads next up and coming superstar.
