We went for more of an organic and raw approach for this video. Just all the action from the day, no music, no production, just all the raw sights and sounds. Let us know your thoughts! Should we do them more like this in the future?

[@justing9528]

Definitely. I absolutely hated when you used the music over the sounds of the car. I prefer to hear the pure sound of the race car not music.

[@justing9528]

Please keep all the race videos like this. I absolutely don't mind and have no problems with the intro music it is the music over the sounds of the race cars that I didn't care for. Thanks from a proud US civil air patrol volunteer.

[@bradendenning1509]

I think a little less music would good but I understand the music

[@SupraDebt]

Yes we want to hear the sounds of the engine, the tires, that stuff over hearing music drowning out the noises we love.

[@DownhillPearson]

I’m not gonna lie I’m glad you moved to formula I always thought u would be good at this kind of racing idk the regulations of f1 but if it’s possible you’ll be the first female f1 driver and I fully support haha

[@garyjackson3531]

This is exactly what Hailee needed. A solid team with a great driver coach. This will yield great results.

[@cac90277]

Then can we admit it whatever the outcome? Can she drive in any top series anywhere? Will she find victory lane in 2025?

[@timechanger9162]

@@cac90277not sure. It’s not easy to go from one type of car to the next. Not everyone is a Kyle Larson lol. She’s so used to stock cars so it may take some time. But if by the second half to the end of the year she’s not running too 5-10 then it’s a bust. She got to show improvement. I understand in nascar the trucks the team did not care to help her and it showed on the radio. She would ask for adjustments and they wouldn’t do any of them. Then in xfinity that was doomed to fail. So she’s got to show she can do it

[@BobL84]

ugh not really she was with a great truck team and couldnt do anything outstanding so i have my doubts

[@jseel6445]

😂😂😂😂😅😅😅😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂 OKAY!!!!!!!

[@jseel6445]

Delusional

[@tgator24]

Excellent testing session. Really like the coaching and immediate feedback. Raw footage is really good as well.

[@KeithReinsmith]

Enjoyed the "raw" approach to this video. Really liked listening to the coaching you're receiving and seeing your runs from a driver's perspective. Really cool! Also impressed by your honesty about where you struggle and where you feel confident in your skills. Fun to watch you learn this whole new style of racing. Keep up the good work!!!

[@thirdeyevision11]

I agree the coaching conversations and POV on the track were awesome

[@justing9528]

I'm so glad you're getting the opportunity to test more. The more you can test and practice the better prepared you will definitely be for next season.

[@gothard5]

agreed. this is where Indycar is so much better than NASCAR - testing and practice time.

[@Timberwolf69]

@@gothard5 Yeah. NASCAR seems to have taken a wrong turn at some point, causing the cost to explode. In particular in the truck and infinity series. Cutting testing, practise and often even qualifying to make up for that isn't a good idea, in my opinion.

[@georgew.5639]

Aggressively running far away from nascar is one her best career moves ever. Hailie, I love that tattoo on your arm! Wonderful! 😊

[@TheDarkJ3ST3R69]

keep up the amazing work Hailie, Love seeing a team that is putting so much into your progression and making sure to give you what you need to succeed!

[@youvegottobekiddingme5270]

Halie Glad you received your Christmas gift early this year! Finally with people who want to see you learn and explore your potential!! Looking forward to see you sucess in this series!! Keep up the hard work!

[@craigroberson8757]

Love the organic approach. I love your crew chief. Sitting down with you and going through the runs with you. He has the opportunity to see things you may not just because you don't have a ton seat time in the car.

[@TheMikeWaddell]

The crew chief (I don't know his name) appears to be an excellent teacher and Hailey is a willing student. Good work!

[@terryshulmire1102]

I can tell you are having fun. That’s what’s going to make you go fast this year. You are doing great young lady keep up the good work!!!

[@Redraven059]

I like the in car camera part of the video the best because we get to see how fast you are really going and hear the car. You were really moving and it doesn't look that fast from the outside shots of you going through the corners. I have been waiting for you to post so this was a good surprise for the day.

[@cindyscott54]

I am so darn impressed with how you're driving, the really amazing coaching you're getting... I've got a good feeling about this! Was this today (Thursday 12/12) or this past weekend. With the temps we have right now, you'd be fighting to get any heat in the tires... which makes me think this was last weekend when it was warmer. (I'm about 1 1/2 hour north of the track, off Rt-27. Freakin cold today!). Keep goin', be patient, cause you have definitely got this! Honestly, I'm so glad you've left the trucks and their crash fests behind.

[@peterpanagopoulos6698]

Great stuff Hailie! Maybe you can pick Casrtoneves’ brain about some of these learning curve issues…😊

[@ray-ew7tp]

Seat time and being taught correctly. So much better than being left to your own devices. You look so much better already.🇬🇧

[@BekinsSales]

Great vid, appreciate your open honesty about the challenges you are facing and how you are going about improving yourself as a driver

[@Stockport9b]

Good to see you are getting some valuable feedback and they are coaching and supporting you . Go Hailie 👍😊

[@bryancohn9406]

Great to see you testing in the off season. Keep doing so, every chance you get you need to be in that FR car working on Turn in to Apex speed and Apex to Exit speed. It’s the hardest thing to both do and teach to new drivers, and as your new to open wheel and cars that make all their speed in corners it takes practice practice practice!

[@gothard5]

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

[@bryankerr69]

Road courses are so much better than circle track. I'm glad Hailie chose this path for her career. It will make her a better driver. Thanks for sharing.

[@Kman1971.]

I like this aggression. Attacking the track. I liked hearing him say you carried too much speed! GOOD!!

[@alanwarner8489]

Too much speed, too sideways etc... Come back home to the dirt tracks like Casey Kahn just don't wait 30 years.

[@Shawn-c5k]

This is awesome to see you learning more in these cars. I'm stoked for this next journey of drivers skillz. Hopefully you keep going in the dirt as well with Chase.

[@Jaylittaey43]

Happy holidays and Merry Christmas 🎄🎁 to you and your family ❄️❄️❄️

[@chrisw443]

She is gonna absolutely crush indy. Look at her confidence, her gains, the teaching as well. None of that was there after her first two seasons in trucks. Wow.

[@dannymills9643]

KEEP DOING IT THIS WAY HAILE!! I LOVE THE INFORMATION THANK YOU!!

[@chriscrist911]

Definitely enjoyed hearing the cars. I get the music at times and nothing wrong with that. Great to see you posting something. Happy Holidays!!

[@UncleBuckRodgers]

Rootin' for ya kid! I'd replace my cardio training with more seat time in a TAG master or DD2 Rotax kart, and work at beating the track record wherever you train. Maybe even run some club races somewhere. All those guys in IndyCar were GREAT in karts. It sure can't hurt the stamina and it will fine tune those skills. It will train your butt to feel everything about the car next time you drive it.

[@stevesemonious6723]

Good to hear from you girl. We're all still lovein you

[@BenDurBenDur]

Hailie you’re a beast. Trail! The speed is in the brakes! You said it in this cut “when I come off it steps out” early to slow early to GO.

[@jameskelly3364]

Proud of you Hailie 🏁 nice job

[@punkskaterpizza]

Practice, testing the more you have of it the much better prepared you'll be for the season. I'm so excited to watch

[@bobuncle8704]

Like what I’m seeing as far as driving, and the raw style vide is good. You got this Hailie.

[@iambhenry]

I lived in this town for over 23 years.. 12 hours of Sebring is a fun time.

[@jodywells7519]

The amount of testing and seat time is going to be huge for your development

[@edmilkovitz297]

Your teams knowledge seems to really help you figure out what you need to improve on in a positive way. Always great to see you improve as you get more seat time. Good luck this season 👍

[@jeffhairston6562]

I enjoy the post laps review and discussion. Being able to see what you were seeing and hearing his observations was cool.

[@Latemodellisa]

As a woman in racing myself it's extremely difficult,I'm not The fame level Hallie is but I run super late models dirt track Lucas oil series and HTF series,I constantly have to be more aggressive and More outgoing with fans

[@jimhashbrowns3874]

Shouldn’t be that way, but pick your battles and pave the road to an easier time for the next generation of bad ass lady racers.

[@Latemodellisa]

@jimhashbrowns3874 I had to learn to be mean they hit me I make them spend hours trying to load the pieces of their cars up ,

[@briankulig-statepolice-6367]

Awesome!!! It's great to see having fun again at the race track!!! Keep learning and know you have a huge fan in me!!!

[@thomast6638]

Before i say this I'll state that I'm one of your biggest fans and can't wait for you to shut down the haters. With that being said, I've noticed you are interrupting him in mid sentence during feedback. Might be harmless, might be perception, but it might be something. Aside from that, you look like you are having fun and learning. Luh ya and go get em!!!

[@JaseWalker-bt7nv]

2:35 in and talking about pushing more to find that limit ,exact same shid ever Nascar truck/car owner tried to get ya to do .. but hey, good luck with this series. I bet that's all that was needed ..

[@jeremymullen5378]

Right on, testing will def pay off. Pumped for this season👊

[@steveroy6334]

Love this video!!!! Please, more content. Iracing, explanation of learning curve etc. ❤the fire you have right now!!!!!

[@pilotbsinthesky3443]

Just keep turning those laps! Marry Christmas and Happy New Year! 2025 will be epic!

[@richardtaylor978]

So dang happy you guys are back !!!! Me and my little girl(7) wish you the best of luck in open wheel! 😊 Love your content , wish ya could upload every day 😮

[@redmeth0608]

Even though I like the music. Hearing the cars is so much better and pleasing to the ear. I love your progression so far. Could you please give us a run down of the car, specs and such? If that's possible

[@stubby2822]

Awesome video young Lady. Chase does a good job on the editing. I look forward to next year's races.

[@dsinclairTUBE]

good choice on the editing - felt like I was there!

[@greg4876]

I hope she does well in this series it really will be interesting to see how it unfolds

[@bradinch1563]

glad you are getting laps and a lot of help.

[@flybypaul6408]

Love the behind the scenes raw content….

[@pilotwannabe2]

We were at the track Saturday for Pistons and Props and didn't even know you were there!

[@majobis]

Look like you have a very good mentoring coach to help you improve your driving and having you push the car and your limits. Yes it takes time, but things will start clicking and you will go hey that works and build more confidence as you go through all this testing This will pay off to becoming a better driver.

[@joedavis569]

Glad to see you back at Hailie keep it up young lady you'll be back on top. Good luck and God be with you

[@alanharvey9825]

Good job, too bad Nascar didn't give her a fair shake, I still think she has loads of potential

[@edwardclark3980]

Good for you young lady. Keep it up.

[@chiefs88]

Love this type of content, but also love the fun stuff also.

[@Cranjus]

loved this video watching this new chapter of racing has been so much fun to watch you seem like you are having way more fun then you were at the begging of the year! also love how this video was edited super nice keep up the great work hailie and chase!

[@michaelwilliams6465]

I'm glad you're getting a opportunity for another test

[@morgant_87]

My lil sis doing what she loves 🤘🏾

[@williamking813]

What kind of motors do these cars run? Are they turbocharged, what kind of HP do they make?

[@philbuell6657]

They sound like rotary.

[@Paroxsym-OX]

According to the Indy NXT wikipedia page, they run turbocharged 2.0L inline four cylinder engines. 450horsepower, with 50-horsepower push-to-pass.

[@madam94]

She was driving a Formula Regional North America car for this test. Engine is a Honda K20C1 2.0L turbo putting out 270hp. @paroxsym-OX - I believe the Indy NXT test is next month based on what was said in the video, this was the "FR" car (1:18 in the vid).

[@scottburrow8717]

Absolutely so glad you left NASCAR. Open wheels is going to your thing. Can’t wait to see your first race!! Where can we watch these cars? What network or streaming platform???

[@greenmirror5555]

Maybe a kids soccer shin protector could prevent the bruise.

[@thomaskappauf7345]

❤❤ how does a big guy know so much about driving 🚘 one of those little cars ❤❤

[@ianbelanger]

Welcome to Sebring! It’s a great track and town!

[@CinemaWithClass]

This already seems like more insight and information and support than Hailie ever got in NASCAR.

[@johndean2110]

Definitely like the sounds of the car better instead of music.😊

[@jimmykol]

There is winning and learning in racing...... one always has to come before the other.

[@robertlee8400]

All she has to do is fallow the rubber on the track , the rubber track will tell you were to go & how to enter & exit a corner & you have to do know when to break & gas .

[@andrewmcleod9312]

Well done Hailie !!! Keep it up chicky. Mad love from OZ, god bless

[@greenmirror5555]

I bet there will be computer ai programs showing theory correct line and current line super imposed on laptops or simulators...prolly already are. Neat seeing driver and theory guy communicating so well....that itself would make great ytub vid. Maybe not so much on a $$ race but on a track rental could get released! TY Haillie and guy! gl at the big race!

[@greenmirror5555]

thinking about this what would be an amazing ytub is you, lake speed, and this guy reviewing video from a race-kart or open wheel track rental. Youth, tech man, and old guy discussing the lines, braking, and accelerating!

[@mgadkins1659]

Enjoyed the race sounds etc on the video.

[@johnallard382]

Sebring is a great place

[@rhondaelliott5386]

Really nice to see positive behind you that's a good thing can't wait for 2025 this is so exciting Hailie got a good feeling behind you 100%

[@ericgaudet5488]

Great job with your driving Hailie from the video it looked pretty smooth running out there . Talking about racing is Chase going to try doing the Chil Bowl race ?

[@mikecurtis2585]

Great video! Interesting to see how quick you get up to speed! Hope yall have a wonderful Christmas 🎄🎄🎄🎁🎁🎁🎁

[@flyinglizards80]

Enjoy the bumpy last turn 🛞

[@joedavis9748]

I love you Hailie to the moon and back 😘😘😘😘😘

[@67comet]

Good on ya Halie! Still so weird seeing you in a car w/out fenders :) ..

[@stevecollins1196]

Love the video much love and respect thanks for sharing ❤❤❤

[@KennyHall-x2f]

Good luck in your racing future. I have faith in you. I believe you can win.

[@mrwest5552]

? more of an organic and raw approach for videos - YES, this vid got me right into the purpose and results of the test. Like 👍 Thank You Chase, Nathan and Hailie 🏁

[@BenjySparky]

Hailie and Chase, y'all rock! Peace 🤘

[@rodneycaupp5962]

This Young Woman was Born to do this... that said she's going to win some and lose some, till she wins a championship..., I Believe. I see real Talent like Tony Stewart looking over his shoulder, for many laps... 2nd is great Young One. I am buying tickets to places you'll be racing. I've watched you since your Days in Little racing equipment... suddenly Naskar and thank God that is over. They were crashing you out darlin. Welcome to your new home... OPEN WHEEL and good competition, not kids like the big sedans with ads on them.... GO HAILE DEEGAN. 2024, your inaugural Year in these Rockets

[@beckyumphrey2626]

Great video. What kind of work does Chase do?

[@drewmatthews4559]

In doubt throttle out. Pin it to win it!!!! I see the car weight, tire pressure / I'm a racer look in your eyes/mind. You got this! YOU THAT WOMAN!!! Let's go. U a Deegan! U a monster sponsor, makes some phone calls to Hamilton for some tips. Nascar to open wheel. Diff worlds. You're a racers, ask questions, just be able to define bs to real world!! We the fans got you so let's go!!!

[@Master_of_light24]

Awesome video as always y'all Hailie your doing great learning and getting more laps In looking forward to seeing you in Indy NXT series next year can't wait for the next video

[@wesmoody5715]

you got this Haille driving with two feet its adjustment

[@BruceWitcpalek-ws1rh]

Good job 👏

[@emilianocruz11]

Lets goooo Halle❤❤

[@charliewhite3992]

Im just glad you didnt get discouraged with racing nascar is hard cause the boys cant stand to be beat by a girl so you are trying open wheel stuff and as long as you respect them they usually will respect you keep learning and you will succeed you have so much raw talent its crazy so you and chase have a merry christmas. Chase are you doing the shootout?

[@georgedreisch2662]

Wow, that looks to be one rough ass track.

[@Brewskiiee]

Are y’all going to run the chili bowl?

[@EthynReasoner]

I still don't understand the Sebring layout because of how flat it is. I would just guess which corners were lefts and rights!

[@bobsamek7731]

Keep it up Haille your going great ..

[@ck47401]

I agree, this is what she needs. I would like to see more assertiveness or agression in her learning. The conservative way around the track isn't getting it. Keep it up. Good job.

[@johnholzhey8149]

A lot of difference between a truck/car and an open wheeler.

[@MikeSmith-is1yy]

Carbon splinters are the worst.

[@GlennMoore-d2u]

Very nice loved the video your doing a great job keep it up

[@benoitdesaulniers928]

Merci beaucoup. 🔥😎
