Hailie Deegan’s Daytona 500 Goal Prompts Response From Donald Trump Jr.

Hailie Deegan might leave Daytona International Speedway with a Donald Trump autograph after all.

Deegan on Sunday revealed her “goal” for the Daytona 500 is for the United States President — who will serve as Grand Marshall for the NASCAR season opener — to sign her helmet. Initially, it seemed like some wishful thinking from the 18-year-old phenom.

Alas, Donald Trump Jr. might be able to make it happen.

Hey, shoot your shot, Hailie.

The 62nd Daytona 500 is scheduled to start at 1 p.m. ET. Ricky Stenhouse Jr. will start on the pole alongside Alex Bowman.
