KENNINGTON KEYED UP FOR MORE SUCCESS AT SASKATOON 

July 15, 2025. DJ Kennington, driver of the #17 Castrol EDGE Dodge, is set to take on round four of the 2025 NASCAR Canada Series this Wednesday, July 16th at Sutherland Automotive Speedway in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. The mid-week event marks the second stop on the series’ western Canadian tour, and it’s one of Kennington’s most successful tracks on the schedule.

The veteran driver has built a dominant resume at the 3/8-mile paved oval, earning three career victories and 11 top-five finishes at the facility. Known for his precision, consistency, and ability to race through traffic on short tracks, Kennington is eager to return to a venue where he’s collected three race victories.

Kennington enters the event second in the overall championship standings, riding momentum from a string of strong performances to open the season, including a win at Riverside Speedway and a top-five result in Edmonton.

The race in Saskatoon promises to be action-packed, with a competitive field expected to challenge the veteran driver on every lap. But with his proven record at the track and the support of his Castrol crew, Kennington is primed for another standout performance.

Here’s what you need to know.
