Early Storylines:
DAUM’S TITLE DEFENSE: Zach Daum, the inaugural Xtreme Outlaw Midget champion, returns to defend his title, but this year with his own equipment. With sponsorship from Kiwi Landscaping and Rockwell Security, Daum will be his own boss and race in his own equipment – built right in his 5d Speed Shop in Greenville, IL.
His Xtreme Outlaw title last year was his first national championship since 2016. He picked up one win with the Series at Port City Raceway. He has five starts at the Southern Illinois Center with a career best finish of fourth.
WINNING WAYS: Jade Avedisian made history in two ways with the Xtreme Outlaw Midget Series last year, becoming the first female driver to take the checkered flag in a national dirt Midget race and becoming the Series’ winningest driver with two wins. Those victories came at Illinois’ ¼-mile Jacksonville Speedway and the 2022 season finale at I-44 Riverside Speedway in Oklahoma.
She’ll carry that momentum into the new season with a new team as she joins Keith Kunz Motorsports to chase the Xtreme Outlaw championship.
XTREME CONTENDERS: The field of full-time contenders for the 2023 Xtreme Outlaw Midget Series presented by Toyota championship is rapidly growing. Along with Daum and Avedisian, Kyle Jones, Chase McDermand, Gavin Miller, Ethan Mitchell and Cannon McIntosh have announced they’ll be chasing the title – with more still to come.
Of them, Avedisian, Daum, McDermand and McIntosh picked up wins during the Xtreme Outlaw’s inaugural season in 2022.
