DJ Kennington, driver of the #17 Castrol EDGE Dodge, rolls into Edmonton International Raceway (EIR) this Saturday, July 12th, for round three of the 2025 NASCAR Canada Series with confidence and momentum on his side. The veteran driver is coming off a thrilling victory at Riverside International Speedway and currently sits atop the championship standings.
This weekend’s 300-lap event in Wetaskiwin marks the beginning of a quick two-race western swing, with Kennington and the rest of the field set to compete again just five days later in Saskatoon. The tight 1/4-mile oval at EIR always delivers close-quarters action, and the Castrol EDGE team is prepared for a battle under the lights.
Kennington, a two-time NASCAR Canada Series champion, has a long history of performing well on short tracks like Edmonton. His consistency, race craft, and ability to manage tire wear will be key as the team looks to extend their championship lead and build on a strong start to the 2025 season.
Saturday night’s event in Wetaskiwin promises to be one of the most exciting stops on the calendar, with fans across Western Canada eager to see NASCAR’s best battle it out in Alberta.
