PODCAST HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE ON HER TURF PODCAST:

Deegan on her accomplishments at only 17 years old: "I try really not to focus on what I've accomplished, but what I need to do next, what I'm working towards. I'm never really just satisfied with where I'm at. I always just want to get better, improve more, learn as much as I can because obviously I have a lot to learn and a lot to get better at so it's all about improvement to me."

On finding success as a female in racing: "I've learned that you just have to be aggressive. A lot of people assume about being a girl that they're a little more laid back, they're not as aggressive, they're still trying to get to the same level as the guys, but I think that even if you ask some of the other guys, they can say that I am an aggressive driver just because I know what it's going to take to make it. I see why a lot of other girls haven't made it. I feel like I can depict why other girls aren't MAKING IT and I don't want to make the same mistakes."

On the best advice from her father: "Remember, go out there and have fun, but you're having the most fun when you're winning."

On her career goals: I just want to make it to the top levels of NASCAR, be able to win at the top levels - whether its Trucks, Xfinity or Cup, I just want to be able to go and perform at my best."

PODCAST HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE NASCAR ON NBC PODCAST:

Chastain: "I'm good with the fact that we have race-winning trucks and we could go out and win a bunch of races...I don't want to sound cocky, but I am confident because I know what it's like to not have speed and you're struggling and you don't have the resources."

Chastain on the ups and downs in his racing career this past year: "It's definitely not the way I would have written it. I don't think they would ever even make a movie about this or write a book. It would have to be a fictional book because no one would believe it."

In addition, new episodes of several podcasts feature a range of guests includingthe Boston Celtics' four 2019 draft picks Romeo Langford, Grant Williams, Carsen Edwards, and Tremont Waters, award-winning sportscaster Bob Costas, Baseball Hall of Famer Ryne Sandberg and more.
