Bill McAnally Racing (BMR) announced today that the 11-time ARCA Menards Series West (AMSW) championship-winning organization will welcome Hailie Deegan back to the team\u2019s stable in 2026. Deegan will pilot the No. 16 Chevrolet SS to vie for her first AMSW title and compete in all 13 events. The No. 16 returns to competition after a one-year hiatus as Deegan looks to claim the eighth title for the number under BMR\u2019s umbrella.<\/p>\n
Deegan\u2019s return to the AMSW competition will feature NAPA Auto Care in BMR\u2019s 36th year of partnership with the NAPA brand. BMR\u2019s budding partnership with Columbia Bank, based in Tacoma, Wash. will be featured in four events, along with Monster Energy on board the No. 16 Chevrolet. The 2026 season marks the Temecula, Calif. native\u2019s second tour of duty with BMR, as she ran two AMSW seasons in 2018-2019 when she tallied three victories along with 13 top-five results and 23 top-10 finishes in 28 total races.<\/p>\n
\u201cI couldn\u2019t be more excited to reunite with Bill [McAnally] and the BMR team,\u201d Deegan said. \u201cI\u2019ve been away from stock cars for a bit but am focused on coming back stronger and competing for wins and a championship. Having Columbia Bank and Monster Energy on board and working with NAPA Auto Care again is going to be a thrill, and our goal is to get them to victory lane multiple times this year.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHaving Hailie back on our team is incredibly special,\u201d McAnally said. \u201cWe enjoyed working together several years ago and won some races. I see the commitment she has for competing at this level and we want to be part of her success. She has the knowledge of winning out West and we have a great chance to chase our 12th title with her and Mason Massey in the fold.\u201d<\/p>\n
Deegan will kick off her AMSW title pursuit on Saturday, February 28th at Kevin Harvick\u2019s Kern Raceway live on FloRacing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
