TORONTO (AP) DJ Kennington always comes prepared to drive, whether it’s racing at the Daytona 500 or clearing snow off Ontario’s highways.
Kennington, who in February became the first Canadian to qualify for Daytona in 29 years, will compete in the NASCAR Pinty’s Series’ Grand Prix of Toronto as part of this weekend’s IndyCar stop.
The 39-year-old from St. Thomas, Ontario, who balances racing with his work for the Township of Southwold roads department, wound up 36th out of 40 drivers in Daytona after getting caught up in a wreck. But competing on NASCAR’s biggest stage still resonates.
