For the final time this season, the Xtreme Outlaw Series returns to Illinois for a three-day sweep. They race at Jacksonville Speedway, Highland Speedway, and Red Hill Raceway respectively this coming weekend! Let's tell you guys about the current points standings after a two-day show at Paragon just a couple of weeks ago.
Points leader
Cannon McIntosh is still in the lead in the points, but after an average finish of 6th at Paragon, his points lead is down to the single digits following Jade Avedisian’s victory at Paragon. He will take his seven-point lead into this weekend's events in Illinois with just six races left till the championship race in Oklahoma.
Gaps getting closer on McIntosh
After her win on Saturday, Jade Avedisian (-7) chopped her points gap from 31 down to seven. She heads to Jacksonville, the sight of her first national Midget career win at this time last season. Later on in the year, she won at I-44. Last weekend, Jade both races in the Porsche Sprint Challenge at Laguna Seca. This weekend, she looks for her 6th Xtreme Outlaw Series victory of the season.
Gavin Miller (-72): After a runner-up position on Friday and seventh place finish on Saturday (at Paragon) kept him within’ hitting distance from the points lead, where he has been for the majority of the season as we head into the final race weekends of the season. During the championship weekend in Oklahoma, Miller will take on Port City Raceway – where he led several laps last season.
Zach Daum (-75): Daum and Trifecta Motorsports took yet another huge jump forward in their climb from the bottom of the points standings by grabbing his 5th victory of the season. The defending Xtreme Outlaw Series champion gained 30 points on points leader, Cannon McIntosh. This victory chopped his gap from 105 down to 75. He now prepares for three days of racing in his home state of Illinois this coming weekend.
