DJ Kennington takes the win at Mosport
June 26, 2011. Castrol Edge Dodge driver DJ Kennington’s season is officially back on track following round four of the2011 NASCAR Canadian Tire Series at Mosport International Raceway. Following a third place finish at the last event Kennington scored his first win of the season on the famed road course near Bowmanville, Ontario and jumped to third in the overall point standings.
The weekend began under misty skies on Saturday where a damp track limited the number of on track laps and cancelled the qualifying session. By rule the #17 Castrol Edge Dodge would line up fourth on the starting grid. “We didn’t get a lot of laps because of the weather but the car felt good so we used our best guess on the set up for a dry and warm race day on Sunday†said Kennington.
When the 200km event began Sunday afternoon Kennington mixed it up with the front runners but as always gave each of his challengers plenty of racing room. “I would have liked to have led a lap earlier but I also wanted to pace myself and make sure our car was good for the end of the race†explained the #17 Castrol Edge Dodge driver.
