After a disappointing start to the 2024 season, AM Racing and Hailie Deegan officially parted ways this week. Are Deegan's days in NASCAR finished?

In this clip from PRN's Fast Talk, our panel discusses what led to Deegan leaving AM Racing amid a disapponting season in the Xfinity Series and what kind of opportunities she could get in the future.

The 22yearold native of Temecula, California, had piloted the team’s No. 15 Ford entry for the first 17 races of the season, her rookie campaign, to an average finish of 26.8 with just four results of 20th or better. Deegan currently sits in 28th place in the seasonlong standings, dropping a spot after sitting out Saturday’s The Loop 110.

Deegan's departure felt inevitable when Joey Logano replaced her in the Chicago street race. But with such a huge following on social media, is there another path for Hailie Deegan in NASCAR or will she have to rethink her approach to racing stock cars? #NASCAR

Brad Gillie explains why Deegan's career was a surprise for him with her Truck Series struggles, while Doug Rice says having a successful female driver is important for NASCAR when it comes to attracting new fans.
