NASCAR Camping World Truck Series driver Hailie Deegan is the sole female driver in the junior stock car racing series as of now. The David Gilliland Racing driver can be seen behind the wheel of the #1 Ford F-150 fielded by the Moorseville, North Carolina-based racing outfit. The Temecula, California native made her debut in the series in 2019, with 2021 seeing her drive full time for the team owned by David Gilliland and Johnny Gray.

The 21-year-old is the eldest of three siblings in the family and is often seen sharing her personal life on her official YouTube channel.
