Cannon McIntosh has waited since the dawning of his Midget career in 2017 for the day he’d hoist a national championship trophy. At last, his day has arrived.
McIntosh, 21, of Bixby, OK, was officially crowned 2024 champion of the Xtreme Outlaw Midget Series presented by Toyota Saturday night at Jacksonville Speedway after a runner-up finish in the main event.
With a total of six Feature wins, 20 top-fives and 21 top-10 finishes through 22 events, McIntosh clinched his first career national Midget series championship, as well as the 18th in team history for Keith Kunz/Curb-Agajanian Motorsports (KKM). The Columbus, IN-based team, led by co-owners Keith Kunz and Pete Willoughby, also garnered its second consecutive Xtreme Outlaw Series championship after capturing the gold in 2023.
Only minutes removed from his crowning moment, McIntosh was already beginning to feel the weight of his accomplishment.
“It’s a special feeling, obviously I won’t ever forget it,” he said. “Hopefully, I continue to grow in my career, and hopefully this is just the beginning.”
