February 21, 2011. Following an outstanding race to a second place finish at the NASCAR All Star Showdown at Irwindale, California, 2010 NASCAR Canadian Tire Series Champion DJ Kennington of St. Thomas, ON will once again tea with Bill McAnally Racing this coming Thursday at Phoenix International Raceway (PIR). Kennington will drive the No. 12 Castrol Edge / Northern Provincial Pipelines car in the opening event of the K&N West Series.

Kennington is expecting to be extremely competitive at PIR a track he is familiar with. “I’ve run a few Nationwide Series events at PIR and I’m pretty comfortable getting around there” said Kennington. “Plus we’ll have the same great car that Bill McAnally Racing had for me at Irwindale so I think we’ll have an excellent opportunity to do well” he added.

Of course this type of program wouldn’t be possible without partnership support. “When this opportunity to get back in the car for Phoenix Dwight Kennedy from Northern Provincial Pipeline said yes right away” stated Kennington. “And of course we’re now into the 18th year of our association with Castrol which is just tremendous.

The K&N West Series opener kicks off a full weekend of activities at PIR. Practice begins at 9AM local time, qualifying will be at 2:30PM local and the 100 mile race goes green at 4:30PM local. You can follow the action online at http://hometracks.nascar.com The race will also be broadcast on SPEED at a later date. Check your local listings for date and time.
