July 20, 2022. DJ Kennington and the #17 Castrol Edge Dodge team are touching down in the west for the next three rounds of the 2022 NASCAR Pinty’s campaign. With travel restrictions no longer a concern, the series makes its return to western Canada and first stop is Edmonton International Raceway on Saturday July 23rd.
It’s a tight, ¼-mile track where Kennington has never finished outside the top-ten in six previous trips to the oval in Wetaskiwin, Alberta. Following 300-laps of action in Alberta, the #17 Castrol Edge Dodge team will unload at Sutherland Automotive Speedway in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan on Wednesday July 27th for twin 125-lap features. Kennington is a two-time winner at this facility.
Currently sixth in a tight championship battle, the three races in quick succession is the perfect opportunity for Kennington to use his talents and move his way up toward the top of the mountain.

DJ Quote: “It’s going to be super exciting to get back to a couple of places that we’ve had success in the Castrol Edge Dodge. Some memorable wins and a lot of good finishes, it’s a real opportunity for us to pick up some ground. Everyone is looking forward to getting out west to race in front of all those fans too, we’ve missed them. It’s a lot of hard work to make this trip so we try and find a day to have some fun in between the races, but make no mistake, we’re all business at the track”.
