This weekend Deegan head on out to the Irwindale Toyota Speedway to get in some fast laps racing in his NTS Motorsports Super Late Model race car!
The weather was perfect, a huge amount of fans came out and got some autographs and watch the “General” battle it out on the track. Make sure to check out the video and visit our full NASCARphotogallery.
Not only is the Metal Mulisha going to be hitting ramp-to-ramp at NASCAR with the Rockstar Metal Mulisha FMX team but Deegan, has signed on with NTS Motorsports for some NASCAR racing and has plans to take the Cup Series!
Racing is something I’ve done since I was a little kid,” Deegan said in a news conference Saturday at Charlotte Motor Speedway. “Freestyle motocross has gotten me away from racing and I missed it. I feel like the motocross background, like Jimmie Johnson has, is going to help me.” Deegan will begin his NASCAR career in June at Irwindale Speedway in the Super Late Model race. He will remain in late models with a goal of moving up to the Camping World West Series by the Phoenix race in November.
After that, the timetables are off and it comes down to comfort level.
“My goal is to do everything right,” Deegan said. “The goal is to take it at my pace.”

Deegan sent us these photos of him, Marissa and Lauren hangin’ down in the pits with Carl Edwards and a bunch of big time TV stars! Right behind them is the suite where them and all the winners of the MM/Rockstar/Lusk auctions got to watch the race…not bad ehh!?
And here’s a little video badassness for y’all…
The Metal Mulisha took over the NASCAR pits at the Auto Club Speedway to help raise money for the Lusk family over the weekend. All the proceeds from that day went to support the Lusk Legacy Foundation (the new name). Fitz, Garland, Wes and Taka lit up the pavement for a packed house with a sick FMX demo. The guys didn’t hold back with their tricks despite having limited practice prior to the event.
Taka was throwing huge Codrova and Indian Air Flips. Wes laid down his insane Turn Down Whips along with Garland and Fitz’s stretched No Handed Flips. It didn’t end there as all four put on a gnarly train of whips, flips, and solid tricks. The crowd was going nuts! Between shows Deegan, Fitz, Garland, Taka, Wes, and Scummy signed autographs for the fans. Once the riding was over, Deegan and the rest of the Mulisha met with the lucky winners of the VIP Suite auction to hang out and take pictures. Everyone had a killer time and the event raised a lot of money for the Lusk Legacy Foundation. Thanks to all that made it out!
The Metal Mulisha is heading out to California Speedway this Sunday and riding 2 demos during the day before the races. Cruise out and watch Mulisha’s Derek Garland, Jimmy Fitzpatrick, Taka Higashino and Wes Agee ride in memory of Jeremy Lusk for the NASCAR fans. Come check it out. We will be selling Lusk Stickers, wristbands and Metal Mulisha clothes to raise some more cash!
