One week after suffering heartbreak on a last-laps pass that denied her of a Feature win, Jade Avedisian reversed the roles Saturday night with a last-lap, last-corner pass of her own to score the win in the Xtreme Outlaw Midget Series presented by Toyota\u2019s debut at Atomic Speedway.<\/p>\n
Avedisian, 16, of Clovis, CA, followed race-long leader Daniel Whitley into Turn 3 coming to the checkered and capitalized on his failed pass attempt in traffic, pointing the car to the inside of Whitley off Turn 4 and using a full head of steam to win the drag race to the start\/finish line.<\/p>\n
A sequence of events so fast, even she was unsure of what exactly happened.<\/p>\n
\u201cI didn\u2019t even know I won the race, either,\u201d Avedisian said. \u201cI had to wait until the [in-ear driver radio] talked.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nearly out of breath in Victory Lane, still stunned from the magnitude of the exciting finish, Avedisian recalled the intensity of the final laps as she clawed her way through a pack of lapped cars, scrambling to keep pace with leader Whitley to afford herself a shot at the lead before the checkered.<\/p>\n
