Hailie Deegan, the INDY NXT driver, attended the premiere of her younger brother Haiden Deegan's film Pay Dirt: The Story of Supercross in a black T-shirt and high-waist formal pants. Haiden plays a key role in the documentary.
Hailie, who posted her attire on Snapchat, can be seen holding a can of Monster Energy, the chief sponsor of the AMA Supercross Championship.
She also posted a story with the rest of her family at the premiere.
The film will be released in theatres on January 24, 2025, covering 50 international markets, including Vancouver, Toronto, Australia, New Zealand, and the UK. Paul Taublieb will direct the film, with Josh Brolin (of Inherent Vice and No Country for Old Men) as the chief narrator. It showcases the story of Supercross, a motorcycle racing series. The film does not look into the series' history but how it impacts the riders and fans.
Hailie Deegan's off-season grind continues ahead of rookie Indy NXT season
Hailie Deegan is intensifying her preparations for her rookie season in the Indy NXT series. She recently shared her training experiences at the Sebring International Raceway in a YouTube video.
In the video, Hailie detailed her practice sessions in an FR car, emphasizing her goal of becoming comfortable with the track ahead of her upcoming tests in the NXT car.
“We are at Sebring Raceway. I've raced here before in IMSA. I raced on the big track. But I'm gonna be in the FR car in one of the USF classes and so pretty much just getting laps comfortable. We come here next month to go test the NXT car. Because the last time I was here was six years ago and I don't remember any of this place. So I definitely have some learning to do,” she said in her Youtube video (1:03 onwards).
Reflecting on her experience at Sebring six years ago, she expressed the need to relearn the circuit and focus on improving her performance, particularly concerning cornering speed and overall handling.
