When you’re hot you’re hot. That could be the best way to describe the streak D.J. Kennington is on right now in the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series presented by Mobil 1.

Kennington of St. Thomas, Ontario took the lead from defending series champion and defending race champion Scott Steckly on Lap 249 and remained out front the rest of the way to win the A&W Cruisin’ The Dub 300 at Motoplex Speedway and Event Park in Vernon, British Columbia, Canada for his third consecutive win of the season.

Jason Hathaway followed in second with Steckly, J.R. Fitzpatrick and British Columbia native Jason White picking up his career best finish on an oval in fifth.

Rounding out the top 10 were Martin Roy, Jim White, Ron Beauchamp Jr., J.P. Dumoulin and Noel Dowler.

Kennington, who finished second to Steckly in this event the previous two seasons, started third in the race and needed just five laps to pass pole-sitter Beauchamp to take the lead for the first time.

“This track’s hard on tires,” Kennington said of the half-mile oval. “The guys made a good call to get our left sides when we did. We figured it would be a long green run there at the end and we had to have tires or we weren’t going to be able to do anything.”

While Kennington led the most laps, pacing the field for 128 circuits, other drivers flexed their muscle at various points of the race. Fitzpatrick led 93 laps and Steckly led 63. The race featured 16 lead changes among five drivers.

The race was slowed six times by caution in the longest race of the year for the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series competitors.

Kennington, the 2010 series champion, padded his lead in the championship standings. He has a 23 point lead over Fitzpatrick – 227 to 204. Andrew Ranger is third with 200, followed by Steckly with 197 and Hathaway with 181. Completing the top 10 are Dumoulin, Beauchamp, Jason White, Martin Roy and Noel Dowler.

The NASCAR Canadian Tire Series presented by Mobil 1 continues its swing through Western Canada with a return to the Edmonton Indy at Edmonton (Alta.) City Centre Airport on Sunday, July 22. It will be the series’ first time to compete on the new track configuration after a one-year hiatus.
