Lawless Alan, AM Racing team up for NASCAR Xfinity Series race at Michigan

Lawless Alan will make his NASCAR Xfinity Series debut with AM Racing at Michigan International Speedway next weekend.

[autotag]Lawless Alan[/autotag] and [autotag]AM Racing[/autotag] are coming together for the first time next weekend. According to the NASCAR Roster Portal, Alan will drive the No. 15 car for AM Racing in the NASCAR Xfinity Series race at Michigan International Speedway. It will be the 24-year-old driver’s first start in the Xfinity Series.

Alan currently drives the No. 33 truck full-time for Reaume Brothers Racing in the NASCAR Truck Series and sits 25th in the point standings. In 2024, Alan has a best finish of 11th place at Texas Motor Speedway with three top-12 finishes. These numbers are down compared to the 2023 NASCAR season after he left Niece Motorsports.

AM Racing has this opening after parting ways with Hailie Deegan after 17 Xfinity Series events, despite signing a multi-year contract. Since Deegan’s departure, Joey Logano and Josh Berry have driven a total of three races in the No. 15 Xfinity car. Now, Alan will be able to add his name to the list while making his Xfinity Series debut.

Hailie Deegan, AM Racing part ways during 2024 NASCAR Xfinity Series season

Hailie Deegan and AM Racing have parted ways during the 2024 NASCAR Xfinity Series season. Deegan was replaced at the Chicago Street Course.

[autotag]Hailie Deegan[/autotag]’s partnership with [autotag]AM Racing[/autotag] has come to an end. On Monday morning, the two sides announced they have parted ways during the 2024 NASCAR Xfinity Series season, effective immediately. AM Racing replaced Deegan with Joey Logano during the Xfinity Series race at the Chicago Street Course, which resulted in an eighth-place finish.

Deegan has really struggled in the No. 15 Xfinity car. In 2024, she had a best finish of 12th place at Talladega Superspeedway, with five straight finishes of 25th place or worse. Entering Chicago, the 22-year-old driver sat 27th in the point standings, the worst of any driver who had made every start throughout the 2024 NASCAR season at that point.

Now, the Xfinity Series organization will look for its next driver as it moves forward without her in its plans. As for Deegan, her plans are uncertain but she does hope to be back at the race track “soon.” Deegan and AM Racing’s partnership only lasted 17 Xfinity Series races before changes were made heading into Chicago last weekend.

Hailie Deegan replaced by AM Racing for Xfinity Series race in Chicago

Hailie Deegan has been replaced by AM Racing for the NASCAR Xfinity Series race at the Chicago Street Course.

[autotag]AM Racing[/autotag] has made a shocking change ahead of the NASCAR Xfinity Series race at the Chicago Street Course. On Monday afternoon, AM Racing announced that [autotag]Hailie Deegan[/autotag] will not drive the No. 15 Xfinity car at the Chicago Street Course. Instead, [autotag]Joey Logano[/autotag] will pilot the entry as the organization looks to increase its performance in 2024.

In 2024, Deegan has a best finish of 12th place at Talladega Superspeedway with five straight finishes of 25th place or worse. The 22-year-old driver sits 27th in the point standings, the worst of any driver who has made every start throughout the 2024 NASCAR season. This is a major difference for AM Racing compared to the 2023 season.

Brett Moffitt drove the No. 15 car and finished 15th in the point standings last year. As of now, Deegan sits 27th in the point standings. AM Racing never said when Deegan will return to the entry, but the next Xfinity Series race is at Pocono Raceway on July 13. Logano will look to provide feedback to AM Racing in its efforts to increase performance in 2024.

AM Racing’s 2023 NASCAR Xfinity Series season in review

AM Racing had an average year in the NASCAR Xfinity Series. Here, you can check out the NASCAR team’s 2023 season in review!

[autotag]AM Racing[/autotag] had never competed in the NASCAR Xfinity Series before the 2023 season, and it went well overall. Brett Moffit finished the year with one top-5 finish and nine top-10 finishes while earning a 17.9 average finishing position. The driver of the No. 25 car finished 15th in the point standings, which is solid for his first year.

The organization has competed in the NASCAR Truck Series for six years, but its jump to the Xfinity Series is its biggest milestone yet. In fact, Hailie Deegan will drive the No. 15 Xfinity car full-time for AM Racing, while Moffitt’s status with the organization is uncertain. This was under a bigger microscope after he won the Truck Series race at Talladega Superspeedway.

What happens to Moffitt in 2024 remains unclear; however, AM Racing should be pleased with its first Xfinity Series season. The 31-year-old driver ran well, and with one season of experience with the team under his belt, it would be smart to bring him back. After all, it would be wise to have a veteran presence with Deegan coming to the scene.

Hailie Deegan joins AM Racing in NASCAR Xfinity Series for 2024 season

AM Racing announced on Thursday morning that Hailie Deegan will drive the No. 15 car in the NASCAR Xfinity Series starting in 2024.

[autotag]AM Racing[/autotag] teased that it had a major announcement regarding the 2024 NASCAR Xfinity Series season earlier in the week and it certainly lived up to the hype. On Thursday morning, the organization announced that it has signed NASCAR Truck Series driver [autotag]Hailie Deegan[/autotag] to a multi-year deal starting in 2024.

Deegan, 22, will drive the No. 15 car on a full-time basis as Brett Moffit’s status in the No. 25 car remains uncertain. The 22-year-old driver has struggled in the Truck Series over the last few seasons. This year, Deegan moved to ThorSport Racing and failed to make the playoffs. In fact, she has barely improved compared to last season in better equipment.

Still, this is a good move for both Deegan and AM Racing. The organization will be able to put a young driver in one of its entries while Deegan finally makes the jump to the Xfinity Series. The idea of Deegan staying in the Truck Series was not a good one and it will be interesting to see what she can accomplish at the next level.
