CONCORD, N.C. — A tripleheader weekend in Illinois will set the stage for the Xtreme Outlaw Midget Series presented by Toyota as drivers march closer toward the end of the season and championship weekend in October. Only six races stand between McIntosh and his first career national midget series championship. McIntosh holds the series points lead by seven over Jade Avedisian coming into the weekend. On Friday, Avedisian returns to Jacksonville Speedway for the second time since her history-making first national midget series feature win in June of last year. Avedisian currently sits second in the series points standings, only seven behind leader McIntosh. Lately, Daum has been on a remarkable surge, collecting six top-five finishes — including two wins — in the last seven series events. Sarff was victorious at Federated Auto Parts Raceway at I-55 on Aug. 4, winning the Toyota Racing feature over Daum and Avedisian for his third national midget series victory.
