KENNINGTON MARKS HIS 200TH PINTY’S RACE AT OHSWEKEN
Kennington Marks His 200TH Pinty’s Race at  Ohsweken
-Starting from the front row, scores fifth place finish
August 17, 2023. In a momentous celebration of the NASCAR Pinty’s Series’ 200th race, the Ohsweken Speedway dirt track came alive with a thrilling 100-lap race. The spotlight, however, was on DJ Kennington, as he not only competed in this historic event but also marked his 200th consecutive series start in the #17 Super Clean Dodge, the only driver to achieve such a milestone.
Kennington scored the win with his #17 Super Clean Dodge in his qualifying heat race and lined up on the front row for the feature event and comfortably raced near the front of the field for most of the event.
Fortunes turned late in the race when the #17 Super Clean Dodge suffered a cut left rear tire. Kennington made a pit stop for fresh rubber and when the crew finished their work he was back on track.
Restarting from the back of the field Kennington had his work cut out for him. As the laps dwindled, Kennington’s charge was a sight to behold. He skillfully navigated the treacherous dirt, overtaking rivals with calculated precision and scored a fifth-place finish.
DJ Kennington Quotes:
“This was a really special night, I’m so proud of this accomplishment but it wouldn’t be possible without the support of so many great people. It’s nice to reach this milestone in our 30th year together with Castrol. The support of my family and everyone that helps us out, we wouldn’t be here for these races if it wasn’t for them. Some tough luck with the flat tire, we ran up front all night. With a few more laps we could have had another podium tonight too. But another good result, we’ll keep pushing forward. Thanks again to everyone for all the support, it means a lot”.
Next up:
DJ Kennington and the #17 Castrol EDGE Dodge team are back in action Saturday, August 26th on the road course at Circuit ICAR in Mirabel, QC.

FRASERVILLE, Ont. — Jason Hathaway did everything he could to bring the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series presented by Mobil 1 championship home for the first time. In the end, he couldn’t keep Scott Steckly from making history.

Hathaway led the most laps Saturday night in winning the season-ending Pinty’s 250 at Kawartha Speedway.

Steckly’s No. 22 Canadian Tire Dodge followed him across the line in second and that was enough to give him his fourth NASCAR Canadian Tire Series championship. The 43-year-old from Milverton, Ontario, won the title in 2008, 2011 and 2013. He became the 33th person in the history of NASCAR to win four or more touring or national series championships.

Steckly entered the finale with a nine-point lead over Hathaway and Andrew Ranger, and needed to just finish in the top five to bring home the title. He earned the pole with a track-record lap in qualifying. Hathaway qualified fourth in the No. 3 HGC/Williamson/Choko Chevrolet and dominated the event — leading the final 203 laps — en route to his third win of the season, while Steckly was content to bring it home in the runner-up spot and ensure he would recapture the crown by four points.

It is the third straight season the championship was decided by less than five points. Steckly edged DJ Kennington by three points in 2013 and LP Dumoulin beat JR Fitzpatrick by two points last season.

Kennington finished third in Saturday’s race, followed by Dumoulin and rookie Marc-Antone Camirand.

Teenager Cayden Lapcevich, Alex Tagliani, Joey McColm, J.F. Dumoulin and Ranger rounded out the top 10.

The Pinty’s 250 will air on TSN on Saturday, Oct. 3 at 1 p.m., and on RDS2 on Thursday, Oct. 22 at 7 p.m.

Steckly and the rest of the top NASCAR Canadian Tire Series drivers will be honored at the NASCAR Touring Night of Champions Awards at the Charlotte Convention Center/NASCAR Hall of Fame in Charlotte, North Carolina, on Saturday, Dec. 12.
