Replying to the message, Hailie Deegan’s fan with a username of “@mwfoutch1,” commented:
“Her dad is a superstar. Her brother is a superstar. A lot of motocross fans (like me) are also fans of racing in general. She is like one of the family. We want (and kind of expect) to see her win and do well. We hope she does and will still love her if she doesn't. God bless y'all out there in racing land.”
“She's already a superstar” - Kenny Wallace in support of Hailie Deegan
The nine-time Xfinity Series winner recently responded to NASCAR journalist Bob Pockrass’ statement that Deegan could become a superstar if she wins a NASCAR race. Wallace countered Pockrass’ point by mentioning that Deegan is already a superstar due to her huge fan following on social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok.
On X, Wallace posted a video, where he said:
“He (Pockrass) says Hailie Deegan has 1 million something followers on Instagram and like 3 million followers on TikTok. If she could win a NASCAR race, she could be a superstar. Bob, she's already a superstar.” [3:03]
Wallace continued:
“So Bob says, if Hailie Deegan could win, she could be a superstar. Bob, with numbers like that, she's already a superstar."
Hailie Deegan’s popularity and influence extend beyond her racing results, highlighting the power of her online presence in establishing her as a popular figure in stock car racing.
Recent times have been tough for Deegan as she lost her seat in NASCAR Xfinity Series mid-season with AM Racing and has to find a new path to achieve her career goals.
