D.J. Kennington is a Canadian stock car driver whose background traces to St. Thomas Raceway Park, the facility founded by his father Doug Kennington, a former CASCAR competitor. Racing became a natural path for the younger Kennington, who built his name domestically before venturing into NASCAR's national divisions in the United States. Alongside his American ventures, he remained a fixture in Canadian stock car racing, driving for his own outfit, DJK Racing, and claiming NASCAR Canada Series championships in 2010 and 2012. His stateside career included stints in the Xfinity Series with B. J. McLeod Motorsports and in the Cup Series with Spire Motorsports, broadening his profile beyond his home circuit.[1]
Within Racer DB, Kennington's record centers on his NASCAR Truck Series appearances, where he is listed as retired after 17 career starts without a win or podium finish. His current Racer Rating stands at 3,454, placing him 769th among active drivers on the database's Elo-style scale. In the 2026 season, Kennington appeared in a single round, finishing without a win or podium and standing 33rd in the points. Taken together, his Truck Series body of work reflects a limited, part-time sampling of the series rather than a sustained campaign, consistent with a career built primarily around Canadian competition with selective forays into NASCAR's national ranks.[2]
