Vegas Victor… Bill McAnally Racing (BMR) returns to The Bullring at Las Vegas Motor Speedway with Hailie Deegan behind the wheel of the No. 16 Monster Energy Chevrolet SS. The Temecula, Calif., native has never raced at The Bullring, but she does have a victory at The Dirt Track at Las Vegas Motor Speedway and two top-15 finishes in the NASCAR Xfinity Series at the 1.5-mile D-shaped oval. The Bullring marks Deegan’s third different configuration at the Speedway Motorsports Inc. facility. In addition, BMR has won at each of the three Las Vegas ovals with a victory on the big track in 2001. Deegan looks to add to her Las Vegas resume with a win at The Bullring Friday evening. 

BMR at 0.375’s… BMR has raced at five different 0.375-mile tracks all-time, collecting 22 victories across the five circuits. The team has found victory lane 10 times at Douglas County Speedway, eight times at Colorado National Speedway (CNS), twice at Central Texas Speedway and once each at The Bullring at Las Vegas Motor Speedway and Shasta Speedway. Gracie Trotter earned BMR’s most recent victory at The Bullring in 2020. Eric Holmes accounts for seven of BMR’s 22 victories at 0.375-mile tracks. Deegan scored a win at CNS in 2019, and notched her first victory in seven years last week at Madera Speedway.  

Crunching the Numbers… Deegan and the No. 16 Monster Energy team have one win, three consecutive top-five finishes and seven total top-10s through the first 11 races of the 2026 AMSW season. With three races remaining, the championship charge continues Friday night on Las Vegas Boulevard. Deegan has made eight AMSW starts at 0.375-mile ovals, earning one win, three top-fives, seven top-10s and 66 laps led. Coming off three consecutive podium finishes, Deegan aims to score consecutive victories for the first time in her career.
