Deegan Leads Every Lap in Season Finale at Kern
Hailie Deegan and the No. 16 Monster Energy team captured the victory in Saturday’s NAPA Auto Parts 150 at Kevin Harvick’s Kern Raceway, leading all 42 laps of the rain-shortened ARCA Menards Series West (AMSW) event. Deegan qualified second and took the lead at the drop of the green flag, quickly building a sizable advantage over the field.
Deegan maintained the top spot through a lap 23 caution as rain began falling under yellow. After a restart on lap 32, Deegan battled side-by-side for the lead before clearing her competitor exiting turn two on lap 33. A subsequent caution brought more rain and a red flag, ultimately ending the event and securing Deegan’s second win of the season, following her recent victory at Madera Speedway.
Bill McAnally Racing swept the 2026 Kern Raceway events, with Mason Massey winning the season opener and Deegan capturing the season finale. Deegan finished fourth in the final AMSW championship standings.
Hailie Deegan Quote:
“Happy to win this one for everyone that supported me, NAPA [Auto Care], Monster [Energy], Columbia Bank, everyone that works so hard, everyone at Bill McAnally Racing. I was frustrated with qualifying only being .007 off the pole, but we were able to get the lead quick and checked out from there, so I had a really good car, felt like I wasn’t using up too much tires, wish we could’ve got more laps in, I was having a blast out there, but I’ll take it.
