Round 3 of the Super Series saw the league’s top Super Late Model drivers head to the New Smyrna Speedway last Thursday night for the Can-Am Racing Series 150.

Race Summary – Jimmy Mullis charged to the top spot on the second lap of the race, with his teammate Zack Novak following him through. The two would control most of the race, with Novak taking over the lead on lap 57 and the two would try to pull away from the rest of the field with Jim Caudill Jr. in the mix as well. Some late cautions led to some intense restarts including a 1-lap shootout to the finish, but Novak was able to hold off his teammate and would go on to score his first career SARA victory.
