Hailie Deegan wants you to be patient. If she can be patient, you can too, right?
Deegan, 18, became the first woman to win a NASCAR K&N Series race when she won as a 17-year-old in 2018. She visited victory lane twice more in 2019. She’s now embarking on her first full season in the ARCA Series in 2020 as she works her way up to NASCAR’s top-tier Cup Series.
