Hailie Deegan was in news recently after getting hit by Johnny Sauter brutally in Martinsville. The David Gilliland Racing driver was pushed against the wall while she was taking part in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series.

Deegan paid hefty prices week-in week-out for being at the wrong place at the wrong time. Moreover, a freak fire can have its day to ruin the race for the young driver. In all the five races she started this season, Deegan finished outside the top-10 every single time.
