KENNINGTON MAKING FIRST EVER STOP AT CALABOGIE

July 23, 2025. DJ Kennington and the #17 Castrol EDGE Dodge team are ready to take on new territory as the NASCAR Canada Series heads to Calabogie Motorsports Park for the first time in series history. The 50-lap race around the 1.742-mile (2.803 km) road course near Ottawa, Ontario marks round five of the 2025 season and promises to be a thrilling challenge for competitors and fans alike.

Kennington brings a wealth of experience and success to the inaugural Calabogie event. The two-time series champion has previously scored victories at Canada’s most iconic road racing venues, including Canadian Tire Motorsport Park and the Grand Prix of Trois-Rivières.

That title fight is intensifying as the season nears its midpoint. Kennington currently sits third in the overall standings, just three points out of the top spot. With valuable championship points on the line and the unpredictability of a first-time track visit, the weekend at Calabogie could play a pivotal role in shaping the 2025 championship picture.

Practice and qualifying will take place Saturday and the race goes Sunday at Calabogie Motorsports Park for what is sure to be a competitive and historic event in the NASCAR Canada Series.

Here’s what you need to know.
