With eight races of the Xtreme Outlaw-POWRi Challenge Series campaign in the history books, two chapters remain to be written to cap off the year’s in-season showdown.
The Xtreme Outlaw Midget Series presented by Toyota will tackle a doubleheader weekend with a final visit to Missouri at Doe Run Raceway on Friday, Sept. 5. Then, the Challenge Series road ends at Highland Speedway on Saturday night to close out the weekend near the gateway to the Midwest.
The top five in Challenge Series points will receive a points fund bonus, with the champion receiving $2,500, second place earning $1,250, third place with $600, fourth place taking $400, and fifth place receiving $250.
Here are the top storylines to keep an eye on:
Triple Threat Denney: In his first year as a Keith Kunz/Curb-Agajanian Motorsports (KKM) driver, Jacob Denney has lit the Xtreme Outlaw world on fire with new records and even more crowning achievements through 2025.
The driver of the JBL Audio No. 67 LynK Chassis became the newest single-season wins holder in the Appalachian Midget Week opener at Action Track USA after winning his seventh Series Feature. He then followed up with two additional podiums before closing the week with a win at Clyde Martin Memorial Speedway for the $5,000-to-win honors.
Leading the Challenge Series by 64 points over Karter Sarff, and the overall championship standings by 273 markers over Cannon McIntosh, the Galloway, OH driver is poised to become the first driver to sweep all three Xtreme titles in a single year.
Welcome Back: Doe Run Raceway and Highland Speedway each hold significant memories for the Xtreme Outlaw Midgets in the Midwest.
Doe Run hosts the Series for a third-straight year, but it’s the first time the “Show Me State” racetrack is part of the Challenge Series finale doubleheader as the penultimate race. In the last two Series races, two former Xtreme champions went to Victory Lane with Zach Daum in 2023, and McIntosh in 2024.
The “World Famous” Highland Speedway returns to the Series schedule for the first time since 2023. In the inaugural Feature, Chase McDermand drove the No. 40 Mounce/Stout Motorsports Midget to the win in his first race at the bullring.
G-Milly’s Moment: Despite winning the Turnpike Challenge finale at Port City Raceway to start the 2025 Midget points campaign, Gavin Miller struggled to solve his return to Victory Lane.
After scoring a whopping nine podiums with the Xtreme Outlaw Midgets without a win, the Allentown, PA native’s 10th podium was the lucky charm that saw him dominate 30 laps around Path Valley Speedway for a feel-good home state triumph in the Appalachian Midget Week.
The KKM driver now enters the Challenge Series finale weekend with a head of steam on his side with a USAC weekend sweep at Bloomington Speedway and Angell Park Speedway to continue pushing the No. 97 SoundGear Toyota closer to a second Series win in 2025.
Xtreme Six Pack: Heading into the September weekend, six Xtreme Outlaw Midgets drivers have six more nights to capture a win in the 2025 season.
Amongst the full-time Series competitors, McDermand is the only former winner who has yet to visit Victory Lane. The Springfield, IL driver owns three podiums, eight top fives, and enters the weekend chasing a second career Highland win.
Five Series rookies will contend for their first triumph before the year’s conclusion, which includes Michael Faccinto, Colton Robinson, Hayden Wise, Alex Karpowicz, and Brandon Carr.
