Being a part of women’s history in NASCAR, Hailie Deegan has landed a new sponsor. Celebrating women in NASCAR, AdventHealth partnered up with Deegan as a part of a campaign launched in March in honor of Women’s History Month.

Through the program, AdventHealth hopes to recognize women working in NASCAR, including drivers, business professionals, as well as others that are an integral part of race teams, tracks, media houses, and agencies. Having partnered with the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series and ThorSport Racing, AdventHealth will list the names of women in the sport on Deegan’s truck in the upcoming race at Atlanta.
