Great interview! Thanks for bringing Hailie on. I'm excited for some open wheel racing now. It was super interesting to learn just how much the driver's body is affected by the wind. Btw I still check AM racing's standings each week to see that it's obviously the organization that just plain sux, it's definitely not Hailie Deegan. I bite my tongue each week to not post something mean to that org. I'm ticked how they treated her. I also don't have anything good to say about Ford either and I've been a Ford mustang gal all my life. If I can tune in on some channel to watch Deegan race in open wheel, I'll be watching. Good Luck Hailie, I'm super excited for your racing career!! I apologize for the lame treatment you received in the nascar world. Sorry for the paragraph but it was good to hear what's up.
@@speed6725More would do that if they could run well. There are TONS of people that support her and other women, and really for no no other reason than them being a woman. I had big hopes for Katherine Legge. Even Danica Patrick before she made a mockery and a meme of herself. Blindly pulling for someone based on anything and everything else but talent and results is just DEI. It would be fine to see a woman succeed in NASCAR or other top series I suppose, but it's just been beat to death already. We put far too much emphasis on that sort of thing, and the results are so predictably the same. Just like in F1, you can get lucky, and you can bring deep pockets with you, but eventually you have to bring results.
@@section8usmc53 Danica Patrick became the most successful female race car driver in all of typical auto racing history. Best of 118 female race car drivers in NASCAR since 1949. None better since her either.
@@sergeantmasson3669 The winnest female driver in Motorsports history is Erica Enders from Houston, Texas. She has 49 National Event wins in NHRA Pro Stock, and 6 World Championships, and is a favorite to win her 7th this year, though it's a tough slog in the toughest class Motorsports. The second winningest female is Angelle Sampey, the 3 time Pro Stock Motorcycle World Champion, who also has over 40 National Event wins. At just over 50 years old Angelle, left 2 wheels for 4, racing an A/Fuel dragster (same kinda car Tony Stewart raced before taking over Leah's car) She's winning races there and will move up to Top Fuel next year. Or at least that's the plan. Angelle has already gone 280 mph. There are dozens of women with World Championships and far more wins than Danica, who should have stayed in IndyCar. She was good at that.
Imagine that, because she gets to practice more, that was a big selling point of Indy NXT. NASCAR has lost its way, so sad. I’m pulling for Hailie Deegan she’s a winner!!
Got to find a talented female and a sponsor with deep pockets willing to let a driver develop. She needed to be a truck winner before ever sitting in an Xfinity car.
As an IndyCar fan, I think it’s fantastic that she’s leaving the dark said and coming over to real competitive racing. With the new FOX contract for IndyCar and the NXT series, the doors are wide open for sponsorship and national exposure. I can see her working her way up to the IndyCar Series within a couple years.
I was a huge race fan when I was younger.. Took a break with life and started watching when Hailie went to trucks because I watched her dad back in the day. She has skills and rooted for her, but was shocked at the attitude of NASCAR towards her and other drivers as ratings continued to spiral downward. To tell you the truth I haven't watched any type of NASCAR race or gone on the NASCAR app since Hailie left. Hopefully, IndyNXT understands her following and will use her star power and learn from NASCAR's failure. Wish her the best! Nice interview.
Thanks Kenny, This is one I've been waiting for. I'll support Hailie wherever she drives. She's truly a competitive race car driver no matter the series. Now I'm just gonna start watching another race series. Go Jegs! 💯🏁🏆
you won't miss her she will be the one at the back she just left the easy racing now she is up against world class drivers that have raced these cars for years and have one there way to be there
The look on her face when you asked about the performance of the team that fired her was priceless! Thanks for what you do Kenny! See you at mid-ohio Hallie!
She is a driver you can respect for her integrity and attitude. She has the skillset to be competitive and her willingness to approach challenges is inspiring.
What an amazing conversation with Hailie gald you two got to catch up and have a wonderful conversation and clear up a lot of things keep up the work Kenny 👍
I’ve given this advice before. I am a massive hd fan! I’ve followed her career her entire life. Girl from a driver who was winning the world until a bad accident took it all away. No matter what driving sport you do. The guys who almost always win have the dial on 11 and a win or die attitude. Yes it takes talent too but you learn to combine drive with talent. I wanted to win more than I wanted to inhale air!!! Honestly I was so close to the edge that i would not breathe. But then it all flipped to where I was so calm and damn confident like put me in any car and I’ll win. And I did! I never was happy to even finish second. I didn’t walk away thinking oh we did great today. I may have said it. But in my heart and mind I was sooooo upset if I didn’t win! That’s what me and very dominant driver from the 90s into 2000. I refused to loose. Be a killer girl!!!! Leave those guys in the mirror!!!!
she has no talent she has money this is a whole different racing this is world stage not just American i bet if any kiwi runs, they will smash her because they a only there on talent alone and your fastest woman is Cloe Charmers she races at the top in womans f1
I would@@brettharrington4333ask you one question after calling her out as a no talent with no history and no right to be allowed to race. Why do you think she is so popular? Why so many followers. Why so many fans? Can you comment on that?
She had a good ride in Trucks, Xfinity was a bad move. She really wasn't competitive in the slightest in either though. Indy is completely diff so who knows. I hope she kicks some ass. An American woman kickin ass on the World stage would be cool.
True, she was roughed up often. Watch her in the SRX series where they showed each other respect. She ran good. It’s a tough fight for her. She needs respect to succeed but she must succeed to get respect. Great interview Kenny
@@oleboy4332 They show each other respect because they’ve all been accomplished drivers in their respective series. It’s a series that is basically one in which all the cars are identical and set up by one crew of guys. It’s an Exhibition series owned by one guy!
@@davehenson6829 You might want to ask Tony Stewart about Paul Tracy and Austin Dillon. Tracy tore up so much stuff he almost bankrupted the series and Tony ran him off. Dillon managed to wreck every other car in a dirt race BUT Tony! Destroyed them! Once everyone got in backup cars Hailee wore Tony out for the entire race. She was on him like white on rice! He got out of the ranting about how good Hailee is on dirt!
Hope she kicks ass in the Indy NXT series. Loved her in K&N and ARCA. Look forward to seeing Hailie and Jamie Chadwick in Indy in 2025! Thanks for doing this one Kenny. Great interview
I met Brian almost 2 decades ago. Not in a formal he’s getting paid to sign autographs way. I worked on a race team, he was racing, i dont even remember if it was freestyle or trucks. Super cool guy, humble,down to earth, not your typical racer. I hope he’s proud, he’s raised some amazing kids. They deserve all the success they encounter. These folks work, period. Huge fan of the family.
Great stuff! Been fan of Deegan family for years. Lived near the father in Cali when he was just getting started. Watched the progression of Brian and the family and it has been fun and AMAZING to see! One of the best stories in ALL of racing right now! Deegan38
Thank you Kenny for the conversation with Haillie. I'd like to watch her next season maybe a time or two. You never know! Just hope I can find it on tv in Canada.
KInda of a shame it didn't work out in NASCAR and thought AM racing gave up on her too soon. I wish her the best in Indy Car. Big blow to NASCAR for her leaving after all the time they promoted her in the series.
Good questions Kenny like your show. Hailie's not stupid she knows how to get what she wants, she wants to learn she needs people that are willing to help her learn because she does help them also and like she said she she does all this on her own she doesn't have any help from her family she does this on her own the name may help you but you still have to go out there and bust your ass and she does that she's very talented race car driver and she deserve some respect for the strong willing woman that she is.
I hope she does well in the indy car. She is one of the hardest working young people i have seen. Best of luck to you girl! I hope to see you in the winners circle soon😊
As an old guy I remember when owners used to pay drivers to drive for them. I’m not really sure when that all got flipped to where the drivers have to bring money to the owner to get the ride. Unless of course your a top name already. It really doesn’t seem fair that so many talented drivers out there may never get a chance because of the money thing but I guess that’s the way of the world now. And why, maybe there’s more drivers looking for rides than back in the old days? Owners can hold out for the highest bid? 🤷🏼
Great interview Kenny. Good Luck Hailie! I haven't been too much into Indy Car or NXT, but I'll be looking forward to getting familiar with it in the coming season.
Great interview Herman ! I have been a Hailie fan for a minute or two. All I can say is that this Girl has Moxy ! I believe that she wasn't given a fair shake in NASCAR. I wish her all of the best in her future endeavors. She Damn sure is a RACER !
Great interview Kenny, as always. You really dug down and got some great insights and information. I wasn’t thinking about brake pressures, but that's interesting. Her physical strength will pay dividends. Great stuff man!
I been a NASCAR fan for over 30 years. Hailie got my interested in watching how she makes out, I hoped for the best for her. I got into watching all the Deegan content for sometime now. I have enjoyed it all very much.
Great Interview! There are 1000's of drivers and only one Kyle Larson. I been tracking my Corvettes and have two sims. Racing is fun, challenging, rewarding and disappointing! People need to learn "Never tell a Driver their no good" I am glad the Herminator recognized that the NASCAR drivers are chuvanists.
Thank you, Kenny, Best interview. Thank you for covering Hailie and sharing all the exciting news. I know Hailie and everyone else probably have tons of NDAs preventing them from talking, so it's amazing to see this whole interview. Thanks for all you do. For next time, I'm really curious how much her motion simulator rig and iRacing contribute to race or track prep. Hailie also mentioned she used to use the Ford Performance professional sim-is Ford Performance still supporting her, or has that contract ended? And does Toney Driver Development have something similar, like a sim or dedicated sim software, or do they focus exclusively on live track development? Also, I'd love to know more about Chase-will he be trying Indy anytime soon? Wishing Hailie, Chase, and Rambo the best of luck on their upcoming adventure. We'll be cheering them all on!
Great conversation Herman I mean Kenny.. I think if Hailie in NASCAR was given a fair shake on things she would've been a star but I call it like a bad relationship you don't know or miss what you have or the fun you have until you walk away from it
Absolutely loved this convo Kenny! I’m really rooting Hailie on. Who knows what she could bring to IndyCar, and being a IndyCar fanatic, you’re right the series does need help. The big issue with IndyCar is not Jay Frye, and not always Roger Penske. Look up the name Mark Miles when you get a chance
I truly do root for her. Out of all the deegans. The pressure on this young lady to do something is probably immense. And she handles it with stride. She can’t help it she’s from Motorsport royalty basically. I would love to see her do well. I hope she tastes success
The Deegans are an amazing competitive family with so many championships and so many more to come. Rock on Hailie let the haters have a their miserable life with you living rent free in their hollow heads😂😂😂😂
Kenny, YOU do the BEST INTERVIEWS, Glad to see Hailie moving forward, I loved NASCAR when the racing was good..We watched the Trucks and Xfinity when she raced their. Now we may watch INDY car.
Thanks for this interview. I was really hoping she would have had more success in NASCAR . I'm glad the Xfinity team that canned her didn't improve in performance. I love her attitude and hope she has success in IndyCar.
Lovin it!!! Good show. Brought back memories of lil Ricky rippin around Crowder pit when we were kids. Now the Deegans are neighbors. Great racing family. God Bless.
Young Lady. At 22:00 your fans defend you publicly. Your composure and personality shine through in this interview. I don't give a Rats ass what these butt-hurt ankle biters think. They pretend to know the inside story of your career. They don't. Wish you the best of luck.
Thanks Kenny for the interview and the support you’ve shown her. I was a fan of her father and love how he raised his kids. I was a fan of Shirley Muldowney when she was racing many years ago. She is the only reason I watched NASCAR and will be the only reason I’ll watch Indy car. Good luck Hailie
Everyone is commenting on emotion. Yes she is a woman which draws people in. Yes Kenny is a enabler on promoting her. But truth is she needs to go back and earn these seats. There are way more talented drivers that have waited for their turn which they might never get. I am tired of seeing marketable drivers taking seats before they have fully developed their talent. Talented drivers are being left behind.
So 3/4th the nascar, indy, xfinity field buy their way in... She has had to go the hard way with way less money to try and live her dream. How dare she do that.
@@adamwagaman6918This is why I'm glad I grew up drag racing. We don't have to listen to that nonsense. I think Deegan simply needs a team that knows how to develop talent. She has the raw talent. At least she will get plenty of seat time in practice and is in great physical condition. IndyCar is much more analog to drive. No power assists.
All of you emotional feel sorry for Deegan fans crack me up. She has not had it hard. Her family name and money put her in the position she has. If not than how did she get there? Yes she has raw talent as I never said she does not. But really with these cars driving easier everyone has raw talent. You develop and grow that raw talent to a certain degree before these levels. She has not done that to the degree needed. I think her raw talent is not enough to get her there. Maybe years down the road it will come. I just disagree she should be filling a higher level seat in the meantime. Paul Menard and the Dillion boys are perfect examples of filling seats before their time. Deegan is no different. She don't have the mental commitment as well. To many off field distractions. So hate all you want but I don't see this Indy thing working out any better than NASCAR did. And yes more talented drivers are coming up through the ranks that get overlooked.
Cup cars are slightly oversteering when best and heavy under or oversteering when things aren't set up perfectly. Open wheelers are usually understeering in spite of the rear mass bias and depend on the front down-force to make it stick. The fact is, at INDY (for example), if you are heading into the wall in turn 1, you aren't going fast enough ! Not so in Cup racing.
I knew it wasn’t Hailie’s fault when they replaced her with Joey Logano for a race and he struggled with the car. Yeah he had a decent finish, but I count that towards him being a veteran NASCAR driver. He even struggled with the team during pit stops. That whole team needs to be revamped.
Sounds like she's exited and where she needs to be! She got raw deals with 💩 teams in NASCAR. And I think a lot of her detractors don't realize that she never got any practice or testing. This was eye opening Kenny!
Great interview Kenny and Hallie. Thought it was on point when she mentioned the smt data available. She's analytical and a precision driver. I will be rooting for her. She keeps fighting
Running an Indy Next Gen car, including the chassis, engine, aero kit, and associated costs, would likely cost a team between $8-10 million per car per season, with individual components like a new chassis costing around $300,000-$400,000 depending on updates and upgrades needed. i hope she learns alot and doesnt junk to many cars this next year
Haley is such a a resilient individual. This was a great objective discussion/interview that gave the general public the information they wanted regarding Haley’s decision to leave NASCAR and partner with HMD. Kenny, you are a gentleman for sticking up for Haley with your support and presenting the not so positive inside scoop of NASCAR. NASCAR is not ready for a women to kick their butts 😂🤣
@@JJ-1-110 steps down??? Don’t think so it’s one step from going into Indy Car. NXT series is a great series and puts on amazing races. I watched them all the races this year and went to 6 race weekends to watch NXT & Indy Car live.
Her drive, determination and tenacity has to be admired. Add an equally driven and loving partner into the mix, We got a future open wheel star in the making.
Very well done Kenny... Hailie will be successful at what ever she does.. Family is everything sometimes..... Hailie has that attitude she is not better then anyone but i can and will do it.....

Great interview Kenny, as always. You really dug down and got some great insights and information. I wasn’t thinking about brake pressures, but that's interesting. Her physical strength will pay dividends. Great stuff man!
I been a NASCAR fan for over 30 years. Hailie got my interested in watching how she makes out, I hoped for the best for her.
I got into watching all the Deegan content for sometime now. I have enjoyed it all very much.
Great interview Kenny
the entire Deegan family has brought 10's of thousands of More Eyes to the sport of NASCAR and Motocross...
Great conversation with her. She got a raw deal. Glad to see her land on her feet with a great future
Great Interview! There are 1000's of drivers and only one Kyle Larson. I been tracking my Corvettes and have two sims. Racing is fun, challenging, rewarding and disappointing! People need to learn "Never tell a Driver their no good" I am glad the Herminator recognized that the NASCAR drivers are chuvanists.
Herman, thanks for taking the time while in Lincoln to visit the legend Dean S.
I missed you Hailie Deegan in Nascar racing and no matter what your racing im pulling for you
Thank you, Kenny, Best interview.
Thank you for covering Hailie and sharing all the exciting news. I know Hailie and everyone else probably have tons of NDAs preventing them from talking, so it's amazing to see this whole interview. Thanks for all you do.
For next time, I'm really curious how much her motion simulator rig and iRacing contribute to race or track prep. Hailie also mentioned she used to use the Ford Performance professional sim-is Ford Performance still supporting her, or has that contract ended? And does Toney Driver Development have something similar, like a sim or dedicated sim software, or do they focus exclusively on live track development? Also, I'd love to know more about Chase-will he be trying Indy anytime soon?
Wishing Hailie, Chase, and Rambo the best of luck on their upcoming adventure. We'll be cheering them all on!
Great interview! Best wishes for Hailie and Chase!
Awesome interview, thank you both!
Great conversation Herman I mean Kenny.. I think if Hailie in NASCAR was given a fair shake on things she would've been a star but I call it like a bad relationship you don't know or miss what you have or the fun you have until you walk away from it
Absolutely loved this convo Kenny! I’m really rooting Hailie on. Who knows what she could bring to IndyCar, and being a IndyCar fanatic, you’re right the series does need help. The big issue with IndyCar is not Jay Frye, and not always Roger Penske. Look up the name Mark Miles when you get a chance
I truly do root for her. Out of all the deegans. The pressure on this young lady to do something is probably immense. And she handles it with stride. She can’t help it she’s from Motorsport royalty basically. I would love to see her do well. I hope she tastes success
👍🏽🇺🇸👍🏽 love the fact that she gets her chance to shine.. awesome lady. Good luck Hailie.
The Deegans are an amazing competitive family with so many championships and so many more to come. Rock on Hailie let the haters have a their miserable life with you living rent free in their hollow heads😂😂😂😂
Awesome interview guys! Future is bright for Hailie! God Bless! 😉👍👊
Kenny, YOU do the BEST INTERVIEWS, Glad to see Hailie moving forward, I loved NASCAR when the racing was good..We watched the Trucks and Xfinity when she raced their. Now we may watch INDY car.
Happy she's finally getting to race in a series that has PRACTICE. (What a concept!)
Thanks for this interview. I was really hoping she would have had more success in NASCAR . I'm glad the Xfinity team that canned her didn't improve in performance. I love her attitude and hope she has success in IndyCar.
Lovin it!!! Good show. Brought back memories of lil Ricky rippin around Crowder pit when we were kids. Now the Deegans are neighbors. Great racing family. God Bless.
Good stuff K.W! 💪🏻
such a great interview! kenny always keeps it real and is not scared to ask the hard questions i really respect that!
Young Lady. At 22:00 your fans defend you publicly. Your composure and personality shine through in this interview. I don't give a Rats ass what these butt-hurt ankle biters think. They pretend to know the inside story of your career. They don't. Wish you the best of luck.
This was really good and very interesting!
Thanks Kenny for the interview and the support you’ve shown her. I was a fan of her father and love how he raised his kids. I was a fan of Shirley Muldowney when she was racing many years ago. She is the only reason I watched NASCAR and will be the only reason I’ll watch Indy car. Good luck Hailie
I'm an IndyCar fan and wish her well.
Nice interview.
Good luck to Hallie Deegan. I’m looking forward to watching her next season.
Everyone is commenting on emotion. Yes she is a woman which draws people in. Yes Kenny is a enabler on promoting her. But truth is she needs to go back and earn these seats. There are way more talented drivers that have waited for their turn which they might never get. I am tired of seeing marketable drivers taking seats before they have fully developed their talent. Talented drivers are being left behind.
So 3/4th the nascar, indy, xfinity field buy their way in... She has had to go the hard way with way less money to try and live her dream. How dare she do that.
Stop embarrassing yourself. No one is "left behind."
@@adamwagaman6918This is why I'm glad I grew up drag racing. We don't have to listen to that nonsense. I think Deegan simply needs a team that knows how to develop talent. She has the raw talent. At least she will get plenty of seat time in practice and is in great physical condition. IndyCar is much more analog to drive. No power assists.
All of you emotional feel sorry for Deegan fans crack me up. She has not had it hard. Her family name and money put her in the position she has. If not than how did she get there? Yes she has raw talent as I never said she does not. But really with these cars driving easier everyone has raw talent. You develop and grow that raw talent to a certain degree before these levels. She has not done that to the degree needed. I think her raw talent is not enough to get her there. Maybe years down the road it will come. I just disagree she should be filling a higher level seat in the meantime. Paul Menard and the Dillion boys are perfect examples of filling seats before their time. Deegan is no different. She don't have the mental commitment as well. To many off field distractions. So hate all you want but I don't see this Indy thing working out any better than NASCAR did. And yes more talented drivers are coming up through the ranks that get overlooked.
@@williamhodgden8970 Stop embarrassing yourself.
Cup cars are slightly oversteering when best and heavy under or oversteering when things aren't set up perfectly. Open wheelers are usually understeering in spite of the rear mass bias and depend on the front down-force to make it stick. The fact is, at INDY (for example), if you are heading into the wall in turn 1, you aren't going fast enough ! Not so in Cup racing.
Awesome interview good luck Haley
Grreat job Kenny. Hailie seems really excited about her Indy opportuntiy. Looking forward to following her.
Thanks! More reasons to like her!!!
Really good interview. I look forward to watching the NXT series now because of her.
I knew it wasn’t Hailie’s fault when they replaced her with Joey Logano for a race and he struggled with the car. Yeah he had a decent finish, but I count that towards him being a veteran NASCAR driver. He even struggled with the team during pit stops. That whole team needs to be revamped.
Sounds like she's exited and where she needs to be! She got raw deals with 💩 teams in NASCAR. And I think a lot of her detractors don't realize that she never got any practice or testing. This was eye opening Kenny!
Great interview Kenny and Hallie. Thought it was on point when she mentioned the smt data available. She's analytical and a precision driver. I will be rooting for her. She keeps fighting
Running an Indy Next Gen car, including the chassis, engine, aero kit, and associated costs, would likely cost a team between $8-10 million per car per season, with individual components like a new chassis costing around $300,000-$400,000 depending on updates and upgrades needed. i hope she learns alot and doesnt junk to many cars this next year
Thanks for the great interview Kenny and good luck Hallie!
Great that Kenny sees what Hailie has gone through. This next chapter in her racing career will be fun to watch.
Good one Kenny. She can drive. Good people. Shout out to my Budd Chase too. 🏁🏁🕺
BIG FAN OF THIS GIRL, THIS DRIVER ! AND OF YOU KENNY, THANK YOU.
Good interview Kenny👍✌️🇨🇦. We Hailie fans are her fans because of the solid individual she is!! 🔥🔥🔥 38🔥🔥🔥
Open wheel racing is complety different. Not easy as it looks except usually no intentional contact. Wrecking is way more dangerous. Good luck😊
Hope she has fun,my granddaughter loves her and was sad when I told her she wasn't going to be in the car when we went to Xfinity race.
Herm thanks so much for standing up for Halilie! Can't wait to see her racing the INDY series! It's Nascar loss for loosing her.
this is a great move for her she will be with someone that will teach her and mentor her hope to see her in a indy car soon
Enjoy that Kenny Hallie. Shout out to Chase. She can drive . Good people. She's gonna do well.🏁
Kenny, you're the best. We are huge Deegan fans and will be following Hailie big time as she pursues her dream.
Haley is such a a resilient individual. This was a great objective discussion/interview that gave the general public the information they wanted regarding Haley’s decision to leave NASCAR and partner with HMD. Kenny, you are a gentleman for sticking up for Haley with your support and presenting the not so positive inside scoop of NASCAR. NASCAR is not ready for a women to kick their butts 😂🤣
i always wanted her to have success. I’ll watch Indy car now.
She is not racing in IndyCar, she is racing the lower series called Indy NXT which is 10 steps down from NTT IndyCar Series.
@@JJ-1-110 steps down??? Don’t think so it’s one step from going into Indy Car. NXT series is a great series and puts on amazing races. I watched them all the races this year and went to 6 race weekends to watch NXT & Indy Car live.
@@garryshortt3983 Your in the minority if you watch those races it’s like watching paint dry.
@@JJ-1-1wow you have no idea. A comment like that tells me a lot about you. Enjoy your Nascar!
@@garryshortt3983 Negative on the NASCAR. Yes to dirt sprint cars and super latemodels.
Her drive, determination and tenacity has to be admired. Add an equally driven and loving partner into the mix, We got a future open wheel star in the making.
Very well done Kenny... Hailie will be successful at what ever she does..
Family is everything sometimes.....
Hailie has that attitude she is not better then anyone but i can and will do it.....
Haley is a great up and coming racer. 👍🏼
