2024 SCHEDULE: Xtreme Outlaw Midgets Bringing New Thrills, Big Events in Third Season

30-Race schedule visits nine new tracks, begins March 15 indoors in Du Quoin

CONCORD, NC (Nov. 20, 2023) – The Xtreme Outlaw Midget Series presented by Toyota has another historic season in store for 2024 with 30 races planned for the new year.

That journey will take the Series to 22 different tracks – nine new venues – seven different states and see the return of the Appalachian Midget Week.

Zach Daum made history as the first Xtreme Outlaw Midget champion in 2022 and then Jade Avedisian dominated headlines with the Series this year as the first woman to win a national dirt racing title. From March to October in 2024, the best Midget drivers in the country will have 30 chances to make their own history, navigating a schedule that will showcase their skills on a national stage.

“It’s exciting to see the rapid growth of the Xtreme Outlaw Midgets in only two years, providing a unique framework for rising stars and seasoned veterans to flourish, while expanding the notoriety of Midget racing in the motorsports world,” said Tyler Bachman, Xtreme Outlaw Midget Series Director. “I’m thrilled to continue that growth in 2024 with the addition of several new tracks and the return of marquee events.”

The season will again commence at the Southern Illinois Center in March and make a few appearances with the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Cars and World of Outlaws CASE Construction Equipment Late Models throughout the year before crowning the 2024 champion at Jacksonville Speedway in October – the Series’ new championship finale location.
