July 12, 2022. DJ Kennington and the #17 Castrol Edge Dodge team return to action this coming Friday, July 15th for round five of the 2022 NASCAR Pinty’s Series schedule as the series makes its return to Exhibition Place as the feature event on the opening day of the Toronto Indy.

Following back-to-back podium finishes at Eastbound International Speedway and the Autodrome Chaudière, expect to see the #17 Castrol Edge Dodge running up near the front once again.
