SUN PRAIRIE, Wis. — Jerry Coons, Jr. scored his third series victory of the season, capturing the 30-lap Badger Midget Series feature Sunday night at Angell Park Speedway.
After setting fast time, Coons moved up four positions over the first two laps before the event was stopped for a flip involving Tim Noble. On the restart, Robbie Ray continued to lead while Coons moved into third place on lap five behind Ray and Bubba Altig. A caution on lap seven bunched up the field.
One lap after the restart, Coons, running in third behind Ray and Altig, passed both drivers down the backstretch and drove into turn three with a lead he continued to increase, lapping the field up to eighth place until Jake Slotten flipped in turn two, setting up a three-lap dash to the finish.
Coons went unchallenged to the checkered flag and was followed to the stripe by Altig, Matt Smith, Mike Hess and Brandon Waelti in the top five.
The finish:
Jerry Coons, Jr., Bubba Altig, Matt Smith, Mike Hess, Brandon Waelti, Robbie Ray, Joe Wipperfurth, Chad DeSelle, Bryon Walters, David Gough, Jason Dull, Jake Slotten, Kurt Mayhew, Brad Kuhn, Michael Pickens, Rob Keelan, Scott Hatton, David Budres, Aaron Fiscus, Jim Fuerst, Tim Noble, Adam Clarke.
