Hailie Deegan, daughter of X Games legend Brian Deegan, will make her first appearance in Nitrocross since 2021 next weekend in Salt Lake City, Utah. Deegan will join three members of the Block family, as well as Travis Pastrana, at the Utah Motorsports Campus in the SxS class (Side-by-Side).

In 2021, Deegan competed in the season finale at the Florida International Rally and Motorsports Park in Starke, Florida, Northeast of Gainesville. Deegan took fifth and fourth in the SxS class that year.

Deegan’s most recent major stint in motorsports was her three and a half seasons in NASCAR’s Craftsman Truck and Xfinity Series’ where she netted 5 Top-10 finishes in that timeframe. Deegan was released from her full-time ride at AM Racing in their No. 15 Mustang Xfinity car following Nashville in June due to poor performance.
