D.J. Kennington scored his fifth straight win in the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series with a victory at Auto Clearing Motor Speedway that was presented exceptionally this Wednesday July 25th.
With this latest victory, Kennington broke the series' record for consecutive victories and has now moved ahead of Andrew Ranger for the number of victories with 16.
Kennington, who started fifth, took the lead for the last time when he passed Jason Hathaway after his car broke on a lap-196 restart. From there he held off numerous challenges from pole-sitter J.R. Fitzpatrick and Mark Dilley.
Dilley ended-up with second place in front of JR Fitzpatrick while defending series' champion Scott Steckly finished fourth. Jim White completed the top 5.
Once again, Andrew Ranger had a somewhat ordinary run finishing in sixth. Louis-Philippe Dumoulin, Ron Beauchamp Jr., Nick Jewell and Martin Roy rounded-up the top 10 riders for the evening.
In the point standings, Kennington has opened a formidable lead of 41 points over Steckly with Ranger and Fitzpatrick holding down the third and fourth positions, respectively.
The next event for the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series will be the Grand Prix de Trois-Rivieres, Quebec on August 3-5.
