Hailie Deegan made her Indy NXT by Firestone at the Grand Prix of St Petersburg Florida. The 23-year-old qualified in 22nd but moved to 14th place and kept a clean race.
Hailie Deegan expects to improve in the next few races at Indy NXT.
Hailie Deegan made her open-wheel debut with Indy NXT at the St. Petersburg Grand Prix on March 2. The weekend didn't go as she had expected it to.
The former NASCAR driver struggled during the practice session. The qualifying saw no improvement as she qualified in 22nd place. But she turned the race around, crossing the finish line in 14th place.
Previously, while speaking to Eric Smith, Indycar staff writer, Deegan mentioned her goal.
“I want to progress. I want to learn. I want to learn the dynamics of these cars. I don't want to go and say: ‘Oh, I'm tight or loose or understeer, oversteer.’ I don't want to do that when I can say: ‘I want to make this change. I want to do this, that.’ So, really learning the dynamics and everything, understanding every single side of this world, is what my goals are.”
Hailie Deegan is looking forward to the next race at Barber Motorsports Park as she had previously raced at the track.
