    working dogs that are working know they are working, so of course they don't have separation anxiety as they are with the owner and can see them.
    Part of the hunting drive to catch their meal with the rest of the pack. Driving along in a vehicle with the door shut so you are out of sight of the dog unless it looks way up high in the window, and being in the vehicle you drive off in when you leave them at home is not the same thing. But then I think you probably know that aye
    When you stop she stops too aye, and wants to get in. She wants to get in the vehicle so you don't go off and leave her. It's not very convenient of course since as you say you can't run as fast as the dog so you drive to make it easier on you. I have seen a few people doing that driving up and down the road.
    Next time stop half way through your "run" and open the car door and see if she wants to get in. I'll bet she does.
    Not trying to have a go at you, but I always err on the side of the dog, and dog behaviour is a bit of a pet project for me ( pun intended ).

    Please be careful running a pup under a year old next to a vehicle since you can damage tendons and ligaments by over working them when they are young and still growing. It can bring on early arthritis as well as other skeletal problems.
