KENNINGTON AND CASTROL EDGE TEAM SET FOR RETURN TO CHAUDIERE

June 8, 2022. DJ Kennington and the #17 Castrol Edge Dodge team return to battle this Saturday for round three of the 2022 NASCAR Pinty’s Series on the challenging high-banked oval at the Autodrome Chaudière in Vallee-Jonction, Quebec. It’s a track that suits the style of the St. Thomas, Ontario driver and one where he’s enjoyed good success in previous races.

This will be the first trip for the series to the Quebec oval since 2019. Typical of Kennington’s career performance, in six previous events at the Autodrome Chaudière Kennington has placed the #17 Castrol Edge Dodge in top-ten at five of those races. He also captured a podium finish in 2015.

The race will feature 250-laps of action and the high degree of banking allows for plenty of side-by-side combat. With room to maneuver expect to see Kennington wheel the #17 Castrol Edge Dodge up front.

Here’s what you need to know.

With a large field of cars being patient and being in position at the end will be key”.
