The shift from stock racing to open-wheel has been quite a difficult one for Deegan as she jumped out of the car after her race with a swollen forearm. She opened about how it has been a physically difficult form of racing, telling Frontstretch:

"Definitely, this is by far the hardest form of racing I’ve ever been a part of. By ‘hardest’, I mean physically, so, it’s very physically demanding.I definitely need to be in the gym as much as I can be, which I’ve been the last couple of months, but I think just keep working at it so I can see the improvement myself.”

Hailie Deegan shared a vlog of her raceday in St. Petersburg, where she spoke about her goals for her very first Indy NXT race and then said why her next race in Alabama would make her feel more comfortable.

“My goal is to make all the laps obviously and try to go from there and learn as much as I can. I know this one's like kind of, ‘get through the first race and then, obviously Barber is a place I've been to and I'll have more experience there. I'll be way more comfortable. Right now I feel like I'm still trying to put everything together, like it hasn't slowed down for me yet. I'm not very smooth like it just hasn't really like flowed all together yet just because I haven't had a bunch of seat time here so it's something that I'm definitely working at trying to get better," Deegan said.

Hailie Deegan will race her second race at Grand Prix of Alabama in Barbr Motorsports Park on May 4th.
