NASCAR Truck Series driver Hailie Deegan will race in the final Rackley Roofing Presents Camping World Series SRX Series race at the Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway on July 17.

Deegan made her SRX Series debut earlier this year, substituting for regular driver Tony Kanaan. She finished second behind race winner Tony Stewart June 19 at the Knoxville (Iowa) Raceway. Deegan is back in place of Kanaan this Saturday night at Slinger, Wisconsin Speedway. At Nashville, however, Deegan will race against Kanaan as a part of the 12-driver field.

“SRX has been a blast and I’m super pumped to run the finale at Nashville,” says Deegan. “Knoxville was a great experience and finishing second to Tony Stewart was a huge accomplishment. That was on dirt, so I’m definitely interested to see what these SRX cars feel like on pavement this Saturday night at Slinger, and one of the best things about racing Nashville is that I can take what I learn at Slinger and apply it there.”

The 19-year-old, California native raced in Nashville on June 18 at the NASCAR Truck Series Rackley Roofing 200 at the Nashville Superspeedway. Deegan started 14th and finished 21st at the race. Deegan is a three-time winner in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series West and was the first female to win a race in that series.

Tickets for the race are available now on the SRX Series website.
