BREAKING: Jim France Signs Record $215M Deal… with Hailie Deegan?
In a stunning and thoroughly confusing turn of events, NASCAR Chairman and CEO Jim France has reportedly signed a five-year, $215,159,700 contract — not with a driver, not with a team, but with Hailie Deegan herself.
The deal, which includes $215,159,700 fully guaranteed and an average annual salary of $43,031,940, sent shockwaves through the motorsports world, primarily because no one really knows what the contract is for.
“She didn’t even negotiate,” France allegedly said, holding up a Bass Pro Shops hat and a checkered flag. “I just wrote a number down and she nodded.”
Insiders say the contract includes perks such as:
Unlimited Monster Energy deliveries to Deegan’s garage
Personal use of Daytona International Speedway on Sundays
A clause that allows her to do a burnout inside NASCAR HQ once per quarter
Deegan, 23, reportedly said, “Look, I don’t know why he gave me that much money, but I’m not asking questions. I’ll just keep driving fast and looking cool.”
Legal analysts are baffled, economists are scratching their heads, and Dale Jr. has already tweeted: “Whatever she did, I want that agent.”
As for France, when asked if he plans to do this for other drivers, he responded, “Only if they have over 1 million TikTok followers.”
Stay tuned — NASCAR may never be the same again.
