What's It Like Being Hailie Deegan?

[@HailieDeegan1]

It’s was fun chatting with you Kenny! See you at the SRX race!

[@danhiggins7798]

Hailey, don't pay attention to the haters. You did awesome at Eldora.I was waiting for you to get a little closer to Tony on the last couple of laps, but he stayed just out of reach. Approach every race with the confidence that it's yours to win.

[@dahnawa1957]

Go get some girl!!!! Love following the Deegan’s. They’re winners.

[@parryfarmsllc.2882]

I stopped watching NASCAR about 10 years ago you are the the reason I started watching it again. Keep moving them truck don't cut them any slack 😂

[@NascarNo.8DaleJrFlameon]

Hailie you need to move up to Xfinity next year, or you could become a bust

[@Thomas-pe8th]

Go get them Hailey! I haven’t been this interested in NASCAR since Dale SR because of you. When you win your first race in the one of the big three series, it will set the sports world on fire!

[@randya3423]

She’s personable and articulate, no doubt she wants her shot and seems willing to pay her dues. Great interview Kenny. Hailie has a new fan!

[@bobbolieu9013]

Kenny, thank you giving Hailie a place and time for her to let folks know more about who she is, why she's doing what she's doing. This is one of the best interviews I've seen in a really long time. I was very impressed when she deftly turned the expected answer around from blaming other drivers for the wrecks that she has been in. Immediately she took charge of the answer and showed that everyone who was involved in the wrecks has a measure of responsibility in what happened. It was her way of quietly saying, "Look guys, here I come." Hailie is very respectful, her K&N days show that. When she sees that you are holding her up, not giving her respect for racing you super clean, here comes the bump and run that she didn't really want to use. When Hailie gives you the spot cleanly, she will remember if you gave her a spot cleanly, and she does remember. She reminds me a lot of Mark Martin, their style of racing is a lot alike. Herman, Kenny, I once again thank you for giving Hailie the respect that she gives and should receive more of, and the opportunity for folks to learn more about her. She is subtle coating a sledgehammer. Drivers are better off being on her good side, otherwise her bumper is going to get bigger.

[@cliffc5551]

This is what makes sports fun. Big personalities sharing stories and honest thoughts. What a great conversation. Thank you Kenny and Hailie for sharing.

[@rhondaelliott5386]

Best Hailie interview I've ever seen or heard❤

[@stevewarren4821]

Somewhere on KZbin a guy has a podcast where they sit around a campfire and she answers all questions about NASCAR racing,how çontracts are worded and paid. I can't remember what the hell the name is though

[@CogitaTute]

It sure is nice to see two racers just talk. Thank you. An enjoyable hour spent.

[@michaelkirkland4206]

Great interview Kenny! Wish Hallie nothing but the best!

[@jmwarden1]

Hailie, that was a great interview with Kenny and you two hit it off very well together, I learned a little more about you and the real struggles that you have gone through in all the different racing events, and that says a lot about what's going to be coming in your future racing, it was great hearing about all the support your entire family is giving you and your brothers, sounds like mom and dad has been there from the get-go for all of you and your brothers, God bless you and your whole family and have a great time racing.

[@WheelzGaming88]

She's just 22 years old and learning everything as she goes. Fans put entirely too much unrealistic expectations on her. Just let the girl drive and enjoy watching her improve race after race!

[@CORNDODGER]

AND THEY SAID THE SAME THING ABOUT PATRICK CHICKS CAN DRIVE THEY JUST CANT RACE HARD PERIOD

[@penguin8711]

​@CORNDODGER lol what car are you driving?

[@penguin8711]

This is so true... literally no drivers are scrutinized and hated as much at her age. It's sad.. but she's getting better and will be around a long time.

[@RVDogDad3]

I got to watch Hailie race at the SRX race at Berlin in Michigan, and was amazed at how well she did on our local track. My dad is not a huge race fan, but was pulling for Hailie! She has had a great last few weeks in SRX, and hopefully, she keeps this rolling! Great job Hailie!

[@jamesprice6301]

I learned a lot from this interview. It's nice to see you talk with someone working to reach their potential instead of reflecting on their illustrious career. I would like to know more from her if she plans to do any more dirt racing on a regular basis...

[@kristenangier9673]

Erik Jones put it best when he said : 'You go to the racetrack to win, not socialize'. That's where the mentality started

can i say something? a year ago i never watched nascar but since i discovered hailie, it brought me interest and all of a sudden i’m learning a lot about racing. i’m sure i’m not alone but at some level, that’s helpful to the sport!

great interview. and i support all the girls in nascar. let's go Hailie in the 13

[@Jake-yx7ct]

Herman Hallie is gonna Zoom in Infinity Series. She has a great personality when it comes to competing on the track. I have always believed that the truck was a bit to much for her style of driving.A great talk fueled by some timely questions and insight. Thanks for sharing Kenny.

[@mikekramer9650]

Kenny very well done with Hailie! I do agree that she would do way better in Xfinity, and I agree that you dont have to do trucks first in order to get to the next level! I think you brought out alot of Hailie in this interview! Yes going Xfinity I guess is a $$$ issue and sponsor you can bring to the table! I wish her the best and I think really if she got away from the trucks she would be better off! Again nicely done Herman!!!!!!!!!!😉🥰✌✌

[@jimmieroan9881]

no one wants to risk another car in xfinity, maybe daddy can't afford it, she hasn't had one ride she got with out daddy buying, geez guys try looking at her stats, she's lucky to finish on the lead lap.

[@bryandavis9731]

Jimmoran my friend Hailie has earned her own way from the beginning NASCAR has spoiled her With titles two times most popular driver in trucks and her dad is tending to her a little brother, who is about to win the top pro motocross/Supercross. Series as a rookie say what you want, but daddy’s money can’t help her and hasn’t affected her other than training, maybe She is a lot more promising, and talented than you think

There has been a fundamental change in the way people behave. Back in the 1960s and 70s when I was involved in racing, it was a community. If somebody's car got wrecked we tried to help each other to get back on track for the next race.

Great interview Kenny. Thanks. Real recognizes real.

I hope she gets an opportunity to step into the next level. Kenny said it right, dog eat dog, but watching her drive I think the Xfinity car will fit her driving style better. Bring back the aggression and go get'em girl!

Don't listen to all the negative things being said on lint there's alot of keyboard drivers out there that have never raced a car. I said it when Hallie was in the ARCA series that she would do great in the Xfinity series. To me the trucks are nothing but bricks with wheels. Hallie will do better driving a car then the truck and I stand with that 💯 percent. Great interview with Kenny

The NASCAR truck series is like having to race with 10 Paul Tracy's at the same time ....... I'm really hoping that when Riley Herbst gets moved up to Cup that Tony will put Hallie in the #98 ..... He's obviously a believer and I think 2025 may be the year she moves up

There's plenty of good drivers in trucks. That's nonsense.
