July 12, 2024. DJ Kennington, driving the #17 Super Clean Dodge, took on the challenge of the only dirt track event of the NASCAR Canada Series season at Ohsweken Speedway on Thursday evening. Making his annual switch from the traditional Castrol EDGE colours to the vibrant Super Clean scheme Kennington and the team put in a determined effort.
In practice, Kennington demonstrated his skills posting the fifth-fastest time. In his he heat race to set the starting lineup Kennington finished in fourth place, securing an 11th position start for the 100-lap feature event.
As the race commenced, Kennington quickly gained several positions, solidifying his place in the top ten during the early stages. However, as the track conditions evolved, Kennington faced challenges with the car’s handling. Despite these obstacles, he managed to bring the #17 Super Clean Dodge home in 11th place.
DJ Kennington Quotes: “Racing on dirt is always a unique challenge, but I’m proud of the effort our team put in today. We had good speed in practice, and I was able to make some moves early in the race. Unfortunately, the changing track conditions caught us out a bit. But we’re headed out west now, we’ve picked up some victories there in the past and that’s what were focused on now.”
