July 24, 2024. DJ Kennington, driver of the #17 Castrol EDGE Dodge, is set to make waves in round eight of the NASCAR Canada Series at Edmonton International Raceway in Wetaskiwin, AB, this Saturday, July 27th. This race marks the second stop on the series’ Western Canada swing.
The Castrol team is looking for redemption after a challenging race last year, where a punctured radiator led to their only finish outside the top ten at the demanding 1/4-mile oval over eight races. Kennington has also scored three top-five finishes.
Kennington and the Castrol team have made significant gains in performance with the new oval car they rolled out a few weeks ago and are set to reclaim their position at the front of the field.
Here’s what you need to know.

DJ Quote: “This is a challenging track, and 300 laps is a long race. It’s tough to pass so you want to be able to run the bottom groove. We’ve learned a lot about this car and we’re ready to break through. It was a total fluke and just a bad break with some debris taking us out of contention last year, so we’re excited to get going”.
