Even rising stars are not impervious to sponsorship trouble.<\/p>\n
Appearing as a guest on SiriusXM NASCAR Radio\u2019s \u201cSkinner Round-up\u201d Monday, Hailie Deegan mentioned that her 2020 years on a had not been announced due to a “struggle” finding sponsorship.<\/p>\n
In her three wins in the K&N Series and part-time starts in the ARCA Menards Series, Deegan’s sponsors have included Monster Energy, iK9 and NAPA.<\/p>\n
\u201cPeople think it\u2019s easy, think it\u2019s \u2018Oh, you get media, you get attention, you get sponsors.\u2019 It\u2019s not that easy,\u201d Deegan said. \u201cAt the end of the day there\u2019s not usually just one person that covers all your funding, it takes help from a lot of areas. I\u2019m really just looking at finding partners who want to really commit with me for the long run. So it\u2019s definitely been a struggle and can already tell it\u2019s going to be a struggle in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n
Despite saying she was having sponsor issues Deegan than derailed her dream scenario.<\/p>\n
“If I had the dream scenario, unlimited budget, which not many people have, which I don\u2019t have, I wish, I\u2019d say I\u2019d be running full ARCA with K&N East,\u201d Deegan said. \u201cMaybe throw in Sonoma for the West Series. \u2026 I haven\u2019t looked at the East schedule yet. It all depends on when the schedules get released.<\/p>\n
\u201cOne thing I really want to do is race (the) Eldora (Gander Outdoors) Truck race. That\u2019s like a dream goal for me for next year.\u201d<\/p>\n
Deegan would prefer to run the K&N East Series this year.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think the K&N East competition, I feel like the knowledge just from being on the East Coast and the tools they have out there they can use it just helps a lot more with the setups,\u201d Deegan said. \u201cBeing out in the West Coast, it\u2019s a little harder just because you don\u2019t have the resources necessarily that the East Coast does and all the people with their knowledge out there.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut we still make it work for the West Coast, everything\u2019s good out there, but I\u2019d say the East Coast level they just have those resources. And the ARCA series, I feel like the ARCA series has some good competition. There\u2019s a solid top eight to 10 guys that if you brought them into the K&N seres could probably win.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
