New Smyrna Beach, FL - Pro Late Models and Tour Mods highlighted the Sunday night show at New Smyrna Speedway for the World Series of Asphalt Stock Car Racing. Former NASCAR Craftsmen Truck Series driver and 2025 American Canadian Tour champion, Raphael Lessard, overcame a demolished car on Friday night to find victory lane Sunday. The Pro Late Models again had trouble keeping the race green, and Lessard survived a late race restart with Brody Monahan to his inside. Lessard was in the lead when the final caution flew and the race was declared official due to time restraints. Lessard took the win over Gabriel Casagrande and Monahan, however, Monahan was later disqualified, moving Vito Vancilla into third.


Youth was the highlight of the 602 Tour Modifieds, and frankly, 25 laps didn't feel like a long enough distance for the excitement they were providing. Rolling from the 6th starting spot, 14-year-old Paulie Hartwig III made an impressive crossover move down the front stretch to take the lead from Ryan Flores and Jack Handley, Jr. James Blewett may have had the best car, but ran out of time. Blewett charged from 15th to finish fourth, earning the Hard Charger honors.
