For the first time in her career, Hailie Deegan will run Chevrolet power in NASCAR in 2026. Hailie will return to the ARCA Menards Series West for the ’26 season, this time for Bill McAnanally Racing in their No. 16 Chevrolet SS.
BMR announced Wednesday afternoon that a 24-year-old from California will be returning to the ARCA West Series, where she previously scored three wins with the team under TRD. Deegan also scored 13 top 5s and 23 top 10s for McAnally between 2018 and 2019.
For 2026, Hailie will compete in all 13 races and have support from long-time supporter Monster Energy, as well as Columbia Bank and NAPA Auto Parts.
“I couldn’t be more excited to reunite with Bill [McAnally] and the BMR team,” Deegan said. “I’ve been away from stock cars for a bit but am focused on coming back stronger and competing for wins and a championship. Having Columbia Bank and Monster Energy on board and working with NAPA Auto Care again is going to be a thrill, and our goal is to get them to victory lane multiple times this year.”
“Having Hailie back on our team is incredibly special,” McAnally said. “We enjoyed working together several years ago and won some races. I see the commitment she has for competing at this level and we want to be part of her success. She has the knowledge of winning out West and we have a great chance to chase our 12th title with her and Mason Massey in the fold.”
