August 24, 2022. DJ Kennington and the #17 Castrol Edge Dodge team will return to Quebec for round number 11 of the 2022 NASCAR Pinty’s Series this Saturday August 27th. The #17 team will race on the unique layout on the site of the former Mirabel airport at Circuit ICAR in Mirabel, Quebec.
In eight previous races on the circuit Kennington has finished in the top-ten on six occasions and the #17 Castrol Edge Dodge team will be focused on more success this weekend as the championship chase is on with only three races, including this event, remaining in the 2022 season.
During the most recent road race at the Grand Prix of Trois-Rivieres, Kennington hustled the #17 Castrol Edge Dodge to a second-place finish. The layout at Circuit ICAR is similar with no elevation changes and a variety of concrete and asphalt surfaces which bodes well for the team.
Here’s what you need to know.

We made the right call at the last road race making a pit stop for fresh tires and it worked out for us.
