The 2023 Zinsser SmartCoat 150 was the 8th stock car race of the 2023 ARCA Menards Series season, and the 3rd iteration of the event. The race was held on Friday, July 7, 2023, in Lexington, Ohio at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course, a 2.258-mile (3.634 km) permanent road course. The race took the scheduled 42 laps to complete. Tyler Ankrum, driving for Hattori Racing Enterprises, would make a comeback after a late-race spin, and put on a dominating performance, leading 21 of the 42 laps, and earning his first career ARCA Menards Series win.[4] To fill out the podium, William Sawalich, driving for Joe Gibbs Racing, and Jack Wood, driving for Rev Racing, would finish 2nd and 3rd, respectively.

The race was noted following a last lap altercation between Venturini Motorsports teammates Sean Hingorani and Dean Thompson. With eight laps to go, Thompson would shove Hingorani into the grass in turn 13, causing Hingorani to spin down the frontstretch. On the final lap, Hingorani attempted to force Thompson into the grass in turn 9, and would cause both of them to get stuck in the sand trap. Thompson was running second at the time, while Hingorani was a lap down outside the top 10. Thompson and Hingorani would end up finishing 10th and 13th in the race.[5]
