CASCAR: Kennington wins Final Qualifiers' race at Delaware

3 September 2000

LONDON, ON - DJ Kennington of St. Thomas, ON raced to victory in the Final 
Qualifiers' race to claim the 27th starting position for Sunday afternoon's 
CARQUEST 300 at Delaware Speedway Park. The former Delaware track champ 
started ninth in the 12-car field but didn't waste any time in heading to 
the front of the pack in the 25 lap sprint.

	Kennington's Castrol Dodge suffered engine trouble in Friday evening's 
qualifying heat race and was forced to participate in the Final Qualifiers' 
race on Saturday night. But everything was working well on this night and 
the young star was able to cut his way through traffic in short order and 
moved to the front on lap 12. From there, he stretched out his lead to over 
two seconds at the finish.

	Former CASCAR Rookie of the Year Derrick Tiemersma, of Newmarket, ON was 
second on Saturday evening and will start just behind Kennington. The 
remainder of Sunday's 39-car starting field was established based on time 
trial results and provisional starting positions.

	The CARQUEST 300 will start Sunday at 2:15 p.m.
