SUN PRAIRIE, Wis. — Jerry Coons, Jr. scored his third Badger Midget Series victory in seven days capturing the 26th annual Firemans’ Nationals presented by Pepsi Saturday night at Angell Park Speedway.
Coons became the sixth different driver to win the event for car owner Wilke-PAK Motorsports, which now has nine victories in the event.  
Coons moved into second on lap 34 and began cutting into Brad Sweet’s lead. Sweet’s engine expired on lap 36, bringing out the caution and giving Coons the lead. On the restart, third-place Brady Bacon suffered front-end suspension failure causing him to flip.
Coons romped to an easy 4.36-second victory over Davey Ray. Brandon Waelti charged from 19th to finish third, with Kevin Swindell and Levi Jones following.
Veteran driver Doug Schenck, who announced his retirement from driving at the start of the evening, finished seventh.
Earlier in the night Coons captured the fifth-annual Dave Schulenberg Memorial Dash, giving him an overall payoff of $10,600.

Jerry Coons, Jr., Davey Ray, Brandon Waelti, Kevin Swindell, Levi Jones, Jon Stanbrough, Doug Schenck, Chad DeSelle, Brad Mosen, Dave Darland, A.J.
