Coons ends Badger winning
streak
By Bryan
Gapinski Sun Prairie, Wis., June 17---Jerry
Coons Jr. ended Brad Kuhn's four-race winning streak
Sunday Night capturing the 30-lap Badger Midget Series
feature at Angell Park Speedway. Kuhn was attempting to
tie John Hartwig's 1973 record of winning the first five
feature events to start a race season.
Aaron Fiscus jumped into the lead and paced the initial
three laps, before Kuhn took over the top position. Kuhn
quickly pulled away from Fiscus and Coons. Kuhn held a
half straightaway lead when a slowing car on the track
brought out the caution on lap ten. On the restart Coons
moved around Fiscus for second place, a multi-car tangle
occurred on the 11th lap bringing out the caution.
One lap after the restart Coons got a great run on Kuhn
entering turn one and took the lead. Four laps later
Coons held a three car length lead and began lapping
slower cars. Robbie Ray spun on the 21st lap, bunching
up the field. Coons and Kuhn easily pulled away from the
field with Coons running a flawless race the remainder
of the event.
Kuhn closed the margin in the final two laps and trailed
Coons who drove the Ralph Wilke owned Spike/Mopar #5, at
the finish by 0.66 seconds. For the second straight
event Brandon Waelti captured third, followed by Scott
Hatton and Brady Bacon. Kuhn holds a 151 point margin
over Coons heading into the June 22-23 Pepsi/Mt. dew
Knoxville Midget Nationals at Knoxville (Iowa) Raceway. |
