NASCAR driver ‍Hailie⁣ Deegan celebrated her 23rd birthday by indulging in a ⁤new‍ simulator racing ⁢setup. Following a challenging season with AM Racing, she expressed​ her enthusiasm regarding this latest purchase.

Deegan, who competes full-time ​in the NASCAR Xfinity Series, raced the‌ No. 15‍ Ford ‌Mustang for‍ AM Racing ⁤until July 8. She⁣ began her journey in NASCAR’s K&N Pro Series West back in ⁣2018 and ‍made history as the first female driver to win races within that series.

Recently, Deegan shared a video on ‌YouTube detailing her excitement about the new simulator ‌setup.

“I’m shocked at how wide it is. This‍ setup ‍is massive,” she remarked.

“That’s my full motion R right there; it’s five ⁣times the amount that this rig is, and this ⁢rig is huge,” she continued.

She⁤ expressed contentment with the upgrade and now owns two simulators. ‌The latest addition includes‍ three ‌32-inch ‌monitors, while her ⁤former setup had two 27-inch‍ monitors ⁣flanking a central⁤ 49-inch curved ⁣monitor.

“I’m really happy with it. It’s going to make racing and training much more enjoyable… It’s definitely going to be more ‌fun, ⁢and we will ​probably spend significantly ‌more time on it,” she stated.

In a recent social media ‍post, Hailie Deegan announced ⁣that she would be‍ leaving AM Racing:

“I worked ⁤hard all off-season preparing for this year after⁢ being recruited by the team to‍ drive their⁤ car. Regrettably, it hasn’t unfolded as I hoped.”

The young ⁢driver noted​ that her aspirations no longer⁢ aligned with those of the team and indicated her desire for ⁢new prospects.‌ This ​year has been disappointing for Deegan; out of 17 races, she has only managed ​three⁣ top-20 finishes. Joey Logano filled in ​for Deegan during the Chicago ​race ‍where he ‌achieved his best finish of eighth place this season.

“Now everything just hurts all the time,” – Hailie‍ Deegan⁣ on turning 23

The video also‍ showcases Hailie celebrating her birthday while reflecting on turning 23 and how some of her plans were hindered.

“It’s my big‌ day—turning 23! ⁤I know‌ I sound old… I’m feeling ⁢it now! When ⁣I used to hit the ⁣gym, soreness ⁣wasn’t an issue ‍but now everything just aches all‌ day​ long,” she shared.

Although initially ⁤planning a ⁣boat celebration with ‌friends, racing obligations required a change in plans.

“We’re heading to⁣ Lime⁣ Rock for the TA2 race but we’ll have our celebration next week,” ‍she stated.

⁤ “We have to leave ⁤today so that’s just how ​things go. It’s totally fine; after all it’s just​ one day –⁣ we can treat next week like another birthday!”
