Looking back, Gavan Boschele<\/a> didn\u2019t initially expect to win the inaugural Xtreme Outlaw Midget Series presented by Toyota<\/a> Feature. Now, one year removed from the night of one of the biggest wins of his career, he\u2019s glad it was him.<\/p>\n \u201cI sat in Victory Lane and it kinda sunk-in,\u201d Boschele said. \u201cIt was really, really cool being the first-ever winner.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s still pretty special. I\u2019m hoping I can do it again this year.\u201d<\/p>\n Millbridge Speedway<\/a> was the site of that victory, where the Xtreme Outlaw Midgets debuted and will do battle again\u00a0Tuesday-Wednesday, May 23-24, in the second annual DIAEDGE Double Down Showdown<\/a>.<\/p>\n The track is where the 15-year-old from Mooresville, NC, grew up racing, cutting his teeth in open-wheel race cars. It\u2019s where he laid the foundation for a career in motorsports with one of the brightest outlooks. And it\u2019s where he won that inaugural Xtreme Outlaw Feature, using the years of experience he had already laid down on the red-clay 1\/6-mile.<\/p>\n \u201cIt was a pretty special win because it was the inaugural race,\u201d Boschele said. \u201cWith all those cars there, it was definitely pretty good competition. I have a million laps at Millbridge, and I\u2019ve been racing there since I was three-and-a-half, so I kinda know how to get around that place.\u201d<\/p>\n Next Tuesday will mark Boschele\u2019s second Midget outing of the year as part of the Keith Kunz Motorsports stable. He last piloted his Bullet\/Toyota #5 at the Chili Bowl Nationals in January, where an untimely collision with the outside wall while running in a transfer spot of B-Feature #2 knocked him out of what would have been his first career A-Feature start in the prestigious event.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m hoping we can do a little bit better than we did at Chili Bowl, and I don\u2019t make those kinds of mistakes,\u201d Boschele said. \u201cBeau [Binder, crew chief] and the KKM guys always give me a great car to run; it\u2019s just my job to do my part. I think we\u2019ll be good.\u201d<\/p>\n
