KENNINGTON RECORDS TOP FIVE FINISH IN EDMONTON
July 13, 2025. DJ Kennington, driver of the #17 Castrol EDGE Dodge, showed his trademark grit and determination in round three of the NASCAR Canada Series Saturday night at Edmonton International Raceway. Despite not being among the fastest in practice and qualifying, the St. Thomas, Ontario driver knew he had a strong race car—and he proved it on track.
Kennington surged to the front just before the midpoint of the 300-lap event. Mirroring the strength he showed during his recent win at Riverside Speedway, he would lead a race-high 81 laps and earn the Midway Leader of the race Award.
However, following the scheduled mid-race break for fuel and adjustments, a mechanical issue surfaced that severely hampered the #17 Castrol EDGE Dodge’s performance in the second half. Despite the setback, Kennington showed poise and experience, nursing the car home to a hard-fought fifth-place finish.
With his strong finish, Kennington now sits second in the overall championship standings as the series heads to Saskatoon for round four. The next race takes place Wednesday, July 16th at Sutherland Automotive Speedway in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan—where Kennington has scored three race victories.
DJ Kennington Quotes: “We didn’t have the outright speed in qualifying, but I felt really good about our long-run pace and the car came alive when it counted. Unfortunately, we had something go wrong after the break that took away our shot at the win. Still, a top five with the circumstances—we’ll take it.”
