Notes of Interest:
Sophomore Journey: After a successful rookie campaign in the NASCAR Xfinity Series last season with driver Brett Moffitt, AM Racing will embark on its sophomore journey in 2024 with driver Hailie Deegan for the entire 33-race tour, continuing with Saturday afternoon’s SciAps 200 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.
The Statesville, N.C.-based team hopes to expand its footprint in the NASCAR Xfinity Series by running two cars throughout the season with its partial No. 25 AM Racing entry.
Future Focused: Last October, AM Racing announced that Hailie Deegan joined the family-owned operation to pilot the team’s No. 15 Ford Mustang in a multiyear agreement.
Deegan, a native of Temecula, Calif. has been a staple in the NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series for the past three seasons but will embrace her rookie season in the NASCAR Xfinity Series as part of the Ford Performance program.
Deegan grew up racing off-road and on dirt but transitioned to competing on asphalt in 2016 to pursue a career in stock car racing. She began that transition in 2018 in the ARCA Menards Series West (previously NASCAR K&N Pro Series West). She became the first female driver to win races in the West Series, doing so in the 2018 and 2019 seasons, respectively.
Deegan, 22, arrives at AM Racing after a stint driving for ThorSport Racing in 2023.
Welcome Back: For the first second this season, AM Racing and Deegan welcome Viva Tequila Seltzer as the primary marketing partner for the team’s No. 15 Ford Mustang for the series’ lone trip to the “Magic Mile.”
New Hampshire Motor Speedway continues the new partnership between Viva Tequila Seltzer and the family-owned AM Racing team that will include several primary partnerships in Viva’s inaugural Motorsports journey.
Founded in July 2020 by three former college athletes in Boston, Massachusetts, Viva Tequila Seltzer redefines indulgence with its creation of a healthier tequila-based seltzer. Rooted in health and wellness, Viva offers flavors like Huckleberry, Elderberry, Watermelon and Grapefruit.
Each can is just 88 calories, zero carbs and zero sugar, while being gluten-free, keto-friendly, vegan, paleo, non-GMO, and kosher.
Stemming from a shared passion of athletics, the founders desired a drink that fit their active lifestyles without compromising taste.
The result is a premium product that doesn’t make you sacrifice your diet while being awesomely refreshing.
Come See Me: Hailie Deegan will attend two Viva Tequila Seltzer appearances near Loudon, N.H., promoting their second race with AM Racing this season.
On Friday, June 21, Deegan will visit The City Tobacco & Beverage Center (621 Lafayette Road, Seabrook, NH 03874) from 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m. ET.
The next morning on Saturday, June 22, she’ll appear at The Common Man (910 Suncook Valley Hwy S Epsom, NH 03234) from 10:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m. ET.
