Overview
- Bill McAnally Racing announced Jan. 21 that Deegan will run the full 2026 ARCA Menards Series West in the No. 16 Chevrolet.
- The program carries primary backing from NAPA Auto Care with support from Columbia Bank and Monster Energy, which Deegan said helped enable the deal.
- Team owner Bill McAnally framed the reunion as a bid for multiple wins and the organization’s 12th West title with Deegan and full-time teammate Mason Massey.
- Deegan previously won three ARCA West races with BMR in 2018–2019, her last full season in the series before moving up the ladder.
- The return follows a 2025 Indy NXT season with HMD Motorsports that ended 14th in points after a mid-2024 Xfinity split with AM Racing; the 13-race West season opens Feb. 28 at Kern Raceway.
