Hailie Deegan splits with AM Racing, Kevin Harvick reacts | Harvick Happy Hour

[@NASCARonFOX]

What are your thoughts on Hailie Deegan splitting with AM Racing?

[@Dupontman627]

Brett Moffitt should've never been replaced

[@SuperCellChasing]

She's a terrible race car driver......

[@ScottyPimpinATL]

Joey provided enough information for us to evaluate the situation.

[@drayven6442]

She's been overrated since the beginning. Doesn't commit to the grind that it really is. Doesn't take it seriously enough. But it's always everyone else's fault for her failing. Yeah ok. Doesn't matter what the manufacturer is in this scenario. Plain and simple. Her "talent" shows that.

[@paulmarbach6802]

Hailie didn't quit them,she was fired!!too many joy rides!!

[@InformalProgram]

Man, Harvick just COOKED the entire Ford operation out here 😂

[@johnhaas2523]

He's not wrong about the Ford development system and he should know since he is an agent

[@kharnthebetrayer1575]

Briscoe talked about how the Toyota driver center was Light years better than FORDs.

[@KennethWrites]

Hailie gets scrutiny that a few other drivers just don't get. Guys like Jeb Burton and Blaine Perkins just get to drive around and finish at the back of the pack every week and no one cares. Perkins was a whole 2 points ahead of Deegan after her last race and he's been at it for 4 years, 62 races and has a single top ten. So to hear things like "She'll never get another shot." is absolutely wild to me. She raced 18 races. Josh Berry brought her car into 27th last week both he and the pit crew performed dreadfully and no one said a thing about it.

[@TVsRob]

She was set up to fail with AM Racing. Sure, AM Racing has a technical alliance with SHR, but what does that really provide for her? She really needed to go to a team where she would have had an experienced teammate that could help guide her along. I can't argue with Kevin on the TRD program, we've all seen what they've churned out.

[@noUGames]

Sad part was she was supposed to have an experienced teammate (Brett Moffit) until they couldn't find a sponsor for both cars.

[@Grundle_ItcH085]

She’s just not talented enough to compete at the higher levels of nascar! It’s ok to say that you know, right?!

[@martinmeza3588]

I want to hear the whole story, I want to know what Toyota thought. In my opinion Toyota knew she needed more time to develop, and Hailie and her team believed she was ready for the trucks and Xfinity. Which is why she went to ford.

[@CRAWLER3888]

They saw Logano drive that shitbox to a Top 10 at Chicago and had enough😭

[@herewegoagain7403]

Harvick is not wrong.

[@Jumbo_Jimbo_in_Limbo]

Hailie started her rookie year behind the 8 ball, covid year. She had nearly no on track practice first couple yrs. With AM she didn't have any help with questionable equipment. Yes she had a lot of dnfs but if you look at em closely there a handful of equipment failures, caught in someone else's incident on track, some really bad luck in others(spotter goofs?) and she did make a few mistakes in others. She also didn't have any veteran driver help or a teammate to work with.

[@aaronthomas6155]

Deegan was in the ARCA-Menards series in 2020....and won Rookie of the Year, as well as finishing 3rd in paints. She ran the K&N West series in 2018 and 2019.

[@AnimaLBlundetto-]

Hailie Deegan is as competitive as the Dillon brothers ... She supposedly has all these sponsors backing her & yet she cant seem to feild an Xfinity/NASCAR ride .. I currently don't see any NASCAR team owners desperate enough to waste that kind of money, regardless of the media attention they may get. She should seriously start from scratch with Toyota,

[@ScottyPimpinATL]

The attitude Harvick recommended is easier said than done. It's honestly more of a maturity thing that comes with age. Who doesn't remember thinking they had it all figured out in their 20s and early 30s. Age tends to define maturity in many different ways.

[@beauhughes1285]

The part kevin harvick left out of his little speech about why she left Toyota in the first place was because there was no room in Toyota to move up atleast for ford there was room to grow and let’s face it the team she was at was no Penske or roush

[@rlh4331]

Not convinced Bubba can get it done consistently - 2 wins in 7 years won't win championships. Signing Tyler Reddick may be his biggest challenge. No evidence Hailie has the talent.

[@heep34987yt]

omg… more excuses for a mediocre driver… got to be politically correct these days and not offend anyone.

[@DynamiteTurk98]

With AM Racing having a technical alliance with SHR. Probably wasn't the best move for them because SHR is struggling. So naturally they are not going to have good equipment to give for AM racing. If they themselves can't stay competitive but also leaving the TRD was also a bad idea

[@aaronthomas6155]

There's no indication, aside from claims made by AM Racing, that they had any technical alliance with SHR. If you look at last season, Deegan ran 1 race for SS Greenlight and finished 13th. SS Greenlight actually has a technical alliance with SHR. SHR prepared the car for Deegan to drive last season. SHR also provided the pit crew for Deegan. This season, Deegan was driving for AM Racing. The cars were never ready when unloaded from the hauler. The cars were never setup right. The proper adjustments were never made to the car during the races. The pit crew was among the slowest on pit road. There's literally nothing that indicates that AM Racing actually has a technical alliance with SHR of any kind, beyond their own claims.

[@scottb9868]

It just shows how weak minded Bubba is.

[@martinmeza3588]

That was the keyword, Toyota gives them time. If we ever get the whole story, I’m sure that we would find out Toyota didn’t want to move Hailie up, and she disagreed and went with ford.

[@bigboylife5463]

Someone should tell Mr. best friend Mamba Smith that Bubba has never won an Xfinity race…

[@aaronthomas6155]

He never won an ARCA race either. He has 6 K&N East wins, 6 truck series wins and 2 Cup Series wins.

[@bigboylife5463]

@@aaronthomas6155to be fair, he’s only ran 1 ARCA RACE….

[@aaronthomas6155]

@@bigboylife5463 You are correct. He has only run 1 ARCA race.

Always thought Kevin was jerk I guess that was when he was a driver seems like a good guy in general.

[@Winters34]

Fact

[@cyclingbutterbean]

She got FIRED!

[@sprtplt]

Welcome to last week.

[@chrisw443]

She is my favorite nascar driver besides bubba, and not watching xfinity for a bit now.

[@davidgriffin9789]

Mombo. What!!!

[@jameshancock4394]

Bubba is the Austil Hill of the cup series.

[@dalebrown2375]

I though the 15 team split with Deagon isn't that right couldn't afford to fix her wreaked cars

[@skyman3058]

Looking back at how well Moffitt ran in that same 15 car should signal how underrated of a driver he really is

[@d.w.5551]

Very disappointed that Harvick supports Bubba. I actually liked this show, but NO more.

[@Dupontman627]

Hailie Deegan is the worst driver in NASCAR right now

[@Tvtgames101]

Disagree with ur statement. She bad rn but she ant the worst

[@devinswearingen8756]

She's not very good but certainly not the worst. I feel like Cody Ware owns that title, and Justin Haley validates that
