These 15-year-old guys didn't want a 13-year-old girl beating them."

Hailie Deegan, now 16, has long deflated egos in the male-dominated racing world. In this particular instance, she's referring to when she leveled up to driving modified karts back in 2014, becoming the first female driver to podium and, later, win a race—all during her first season in the division. "Next thing you know, I'm the one to beat," she adds matter-of-factly.

Deegan is preparing to level up yet again, this time to stock car racing in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series. On Sunday, when she makes her series debut at Florida's New Smyrna Speedway, she'll be the only female driver competing in a field of 29.
