McIntosh Chases 50th National Midget Victory

INDIANAPOLIS — Cannon McIntosh enters Tuesday night’s Indiana Midget Week opener for the USAC National Midget Series with some goals and milestones within his sites.

The 22-year-old Keith Kunz Motorsports driver has won three of the last five national midget features and is one victory away from his 50^th career victory in the discipline.

“For me, it would be special just because you get so wrapped up in how challenging this can be at times,” McIntosh said. “You don’t always keep track of these feats because you’re always chasing that next one. So, to get to 50 wins is pretty special knowing that not that many drivers reach that level. I’m looking forward to trying to win number 50 and then just keep adding on to that.”

“The USAC title would mean the most for sure,” McIntosh said. “We were so close last year. A couple of things just didn’t go the way we needed them to go. To be able to go out and do it this year would be rewarding and the icing on the cake.”

McIntosh is in his second season working with team owner Keith Kunz.

“We are able to dive right back in after running the complete season last year. Keith’s got a good grasp on working with me after a full season,” McIntosh said. “It makes it easier for him knowing what I like to feel and what works with us working together. I think we’re getting in the rhythm much quicker and finding the consistency where we need to be.”
