D.J. Kennington won the Vortex Brake Pads 200 at Mosport International Raceway on Sunday to become the fourth race winner in as many NASCAR Canadian Tire Series races this season.
The current champion passed JR Fitzpatrick in Turn 8 on Lap 50 of the 51-lap race to pick up his 10th series career and his first in a road-course event.
Fitzpatrick was up front all race and battled Robin Buck lap after lap before Kennington’s final lap heroics. Fitzpatrick led a race-high 19 laps and finished second followed by Buck in third.
Jeff Lapcevich and Scott Steckly completed the top five.
Isabelle Tremblay had a great run today as she finished in the 8th spot while Louis-Philippe and Jean-François Dumoulin were on their way until various issues forced them to retired with less than 15 laps to go in the race.
The NASCAR Canadian Tire Series is back in action on Saturday, July 9 to take on the 1.750-mile temporary street course at Toronto’s Exhibition Place in the Streets of Toronto 100 as part of the Honda Indy Toronto.
