D.J. Kennington was able to benefit from a collision between the first and second-place cars of Scott Steckly and JR Fitzpatrick in the final moments of the Edmonton 100 to earn a record fourth consecutive victory in the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series.
Once in the lead, Kennington dominated the final two laps for his 15th career series win, which puts him in a tie with Andrew Ranger for the most career series wins.
Jason Hathaway was second. Steckly, the pole-sitter, managed to recover from his contact with Fitzpatrick to finish fourth behind Trevor Seibert. Another good showing for Martin Roy who ended-up fifth.
Double NCTS champion Andrew Ranger, who had been constantly either second or third, finished in seventh place. An incident involving Ranger on an initial restart led to another caution and the subsequent restart when Steckly and Fitzpatrick came together.
In the championship point standings, Kennington extended his lead to 35 points over Scott Steckly, who moved into the second position. Ranger remains in third place - 37 points in back of the leader - while Fitzpatrick fell to fourth.
Next race will be presented exceptionally this Wednesday July 25th at the Auto Clearing Motor Speedway in Saskatoon, Sask.
