KENNINGTON AND CASTROL EDGE TEAM RETURN TO ACTION IN TORONTO

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. In six previous series races on the streets of Toronto Kennington has scored a top-ten result in five of the races with a best finish of third overall.

This will be the first Toronto Indy event since 2019 due to health restrictions and it’s a great opportunity for race fans to see the #17 Castrol Edge Dodge team in action on the challenging street circuit as there will be free admission to the grounds for the Friday race.
