Joe Custer, president of Haas Factory Team, confirmed conversations with Deegan, who is out of a ride after parting ways with AM Racing earlier this month.
This was Deegan’s first season in the Xfinity Series. The 23-year-old didn’t start driving stock cars until seven years ago. She had success in the ARCA Series but not as much in three Truck seasons. She scored the best debut by a female driver in both the Truck Series (2020) and Xfinity Series (2022).
She moved to AM Racing ahead of this season. Deegan’s best finish was 12th in 17 starts. The team replaced here at Chicago with Joey Logano. AM Racing and Deegan each announced after Chicago that they had parted ways. Josh Berry is driving for the team in Saturday’s Xfinity race at Indianapolis (3:30 p.m. ET on USA Network).
“We believe there’s more in her and we want to be a part of that,” Joe Custer said Saturday in response to a question from NBC Sports about Deegan being a candidate for a Haas Factory Team ride. “But that’s for future conversations.”
