June 21, 2022. Race fans should expect to see the #17 Castrol Edge Dodge with driver DJ Kennington up near the front of the field during round four of the 2023 NASCAR Pinty’s Series this coming Saturday at Eastbound International Speedway in Avondale, Newfoundland.
Despite some tough luck with a flat tire a year ago, Kennington roared back to finish on the podium and the #17 Castrol Edge Dodge has shown speed all season. The Pinty’s series ironman has scored top-ten finishes in each of the previous three events this season.
Kennington and the #17Castrol Edge Dodge team were welcomed by a large crowd to witness the inaugural race at Eastbound Park last year and events this year will turn this annual visit into an even bigger celebration. Activities begin Friday with a hauler parade, and the NASCAR Fan Fest on George Street that includes a driver autograph session and concert as part of the family friendly event.
Here’s what you need to know.
