AM Racing has announced that Hailie Deegan will not be competing in this weekend's NASCAR Xfinity Series race at the Chicago Street Course.
Instead, 2x NASCAR Cup Series champion Joey Logano will get behind the wheel of the No. 15 AMR Ford Mustang. In a statement, the team indicated that they are hoping to improve the team's competitiveness with input from Logano. Deegan has competed in all 17 races so far this year with AMR, but has no finish higher than 12th. She also has eight finishes outside of the top-30, which is a sudden step down in performance after 2023. Last year, Brett Moffitt drove the No.
When the opportunity to have Joey in the car at Chicago became a possibility, we felt we needed to take advantage of the knowledge and feedback that a two-time NASCAR Cup Series Champion could provide to our teams' growth.” Added Moore: “We intend to take the feedback and data from the Chicago race weekend and apply it to building better race cars each week so AM Racing can have a stronger second half of the season.
