| Madera Debut… Hailie Deegan will return to Madera Speedway this Saturday in the Madera 150 for Race 10 of the ARCA Menards Series West (AMSW) season. The Temecula, Calif., native is coming off consecutive third-place finishes as she looks to translate that momentum into her first victory of 2026. Deegan has never turned a lap in an AMSW car at Madera, but enjoyed success at the only other 0.333-mile circuit on the schedule, All-American Speedway. She tied her season-best finish of third at the third-mile bullring on September 5 and hopes to similar success leads her to BMR’s second win at Madera Speedway. Deegan will debut a new sponsor aboard her No. 16 Chevrolet SS with 5.11 Tactical, looking to bring those black-and-orange colors to Victory Lane Saturday night. BMR in History… Saturday will be BMR’s 14th and 15th career starts at Madera Speedway, dating back to 1995. Eric Holmes highlights those starts, taking home the checkered flag in 2009 and a fifth-place result in 2003. Eric Johnson Jr. came home with a fourth-place finish in 2024. Team owner Bill McAnally was the first of 12 different drivers to make a start for BMR at Madera, making two starts in 1995 and 1996. BMR’s 10 wins at All American Speedway prepare the No. 16 5.11 Tactical team for success at the Madera third-mile. Season to Date… Four races remain in the 2026 AMSW season as the No. 16 5.11 Tactical team sits sixth in the championship standings. Deegan has achieved two top-fives and six top-10’s thus far. She holds an average finish of 8.7 and looks to overcome a seven-point deficit to jump into the top five in the standings this Saturday night at Madera Speedway.

Hailie Deegan Quote: “I’m super excited to get back to Madera this weekend, where I made some of my first late model starts. We’ve made a ton of progress with our speed the last few races and it’s shown with our finishing results. I’m looking forward to having 5.11 Tactical on board for the first time this Saturday and I’m confident we can bring home a good finish with our No.16 5.11 Tactical Chevrolet SS.” |
