Owners: Doug Kennington & D.J. Kennington
Base: Canada (likely St. Thomas, Ontario)
Manufacturer: Dodge
Competition history:
CASCAR Super Series (1998-2006)
NASCAR Pinty's Series (2007-2018)
CASCAR East Series (1998-2000)
CASCAR West Series (2005-2006)
X1-R ProCup Series (2003-2005)
Championships:
2010 NASCAR Canadian Tire Series: D.J. Kennington, #17 Castrol Edge Dodge (crew chief: David Wight)
2012 NASCAR Canadian Tire Series: D.J. Kennington, #17 Castrol Edge / Mahindra Tractors Dodge (crew chief: David Wight)
DJ Kennington Racing (formerly known as DJK Racing) competes full-time in the NASCAR Pinty's Series, and is owned by Douglas James "D.J." Kennington, who drives the team's #17 car, and his father Doug Kennington (who also founded St. Thomas Raceway Park in the family's hometown of St. Thomas, Ontario).
D.J. Kennington competed in his first CASCAR East Series race in 1994 or earlier. It is not known whether he competed in 1995, but he raced in the series again in 1996 and 1997. In 1998, the CASCAR Super Series was formed as a four-race championship to determine the overall CASCAR champion for the year.
Kennington competed in every CASCAR Super Series race from its inception. By 2001, the year in which the CASCAR East Series was closed and the Super Series became the national championship, Kennington's owner was listed as his father Doug, after having been unlisted for the years before.
Near the end of the 2006 CASCAR Super Series season, NASCAR purchased the series and renamed it the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series for 2007. Under the new series ownership, D.J. Kennington and his team would win their first championship in 2010, winning a second time in 2012.
DJ Kennington Racing would later expand to two teams, adding the #28 car in 2013.
On October 13, 2018, in the 2018 NASCAR Pinty's Series season finale at Jukasa Motorspeedway (in Hamilton, Ontario), D.J. Kennington would end a 5-year, 63-race winless streak, by far the longest of his and his team's career.
In the NASCAR Pinty's Series and its predecessors, D.J. Kennington and has raced Dodges sponsored by Castrol for his family-owned team every year since at least 1997. Kennington has also driven the #17 car every year since at least 1996, except for 2003, when he drove the #37 Castrol/Snap-On Dodge for an unknown owner (possibly still his family's team).
D.J. Kennington competed in every CASCAR Super Series race held prior to NASCAR's purchase of the series, and has competed in every race held in the NASCAR Pinty's Series so far, as of the end of the 2018 season.
