Deegan managed to finish in P13 during her Xfinity Series debut at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. This also marked the highest-ever finish for a woman in her Xfinity debut. Before Deegan made this achievement, Shawna Robinson finished her debut race in the Xfinity Series at a sound 15th place back in 1991 at the Orange County Speedway.

Later during an interview, Deegan stated, “I learned so much that I haven’t got it processed yet … but I’m just happy we were able to have a good run.

Trying to get the funding set is definitely tough, but we’re still trying to figure out what we’re doing.”
