AVONDALE, AZ (November 12) – Canada’s DJ Kennington finished 26th in the Can-Am 500 at Phoenix International Raceway on Sunday. “Really proud of the team,” says the driver of the Northern Provincial Pipelines Ltd./Clark Construction #15 Chevrolet. “had a great day. I can’t complain at all.” This was Kenningtons 20th appearance at the Arizona track dating back to 2006. “I’ve said this before but I’m so fortunate to be able to do what I do. I’m glad that Dwight and Kevin were here to see it.” Dwight Kennedy and Kevin Clark are Alberta business owners that have been major sponsors for Kennington at select NASCAR races over the past decade.

“The car is in one piece. We finished the whole race. We came home in 26th which is pretty good for the Cup Series.” In his Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series debut at Phoenix one year ago, Kennington finished 35th. “Wanted to finish better than we did last year and we did that. Its a very satisfying way to wrap up the season.” Matt Kenseth was the big race winner on Sunday scoring his first NASCAR win since 2016.
