The 2024 Xfinity Series is officially the year of the rookies. The five new faces have taken the feeder series by storm. Whether it’s ARCA Champion Jesse Love or 3x Supercars Champion Shane van Gisbergen, these drivers are proving that it is just a matter of time before they pose a threat to veterans of the sport. Another name that has been the talk of the town is the only female driver in the series, Hailie Deegan.

Coming off the third-tier series of NASCAR, Hailie Deegan highlighted huge promises. However, unlike her other rookie counterparts, Deegan has yet to make an impact in the series. Instead, the driver has been involved in a myriad of incidents, whether it was a mechanical fault or being entwined innocently in another’s wreck. The same can be stated for her run at Phoenix, which ended in disappointment.
