The Sutherland Automotive Speedway oval will once again welcome drivers from across the continent for Saturday’s Leland Industries 250.
The annual stop for the circuit at the1/3 mile banked oval in Saskatoon will see some familiar names on the asphalt. D.J. Kennington in the No. 17 is the only active driver in the series with three wins in Saskatoon and will be looking to capture his fourth, which would break his tie with Scott Steckly and make him the driver with the most wins at the track. Louis-Phillippe Dumoulin has two wins at Saskatoon, coming in 2014 and 2019, and will be looking at return trip to victory lane in his #47 WeatherTech Canada/ Omnifab Dodge.
Andrew Ranger and Donald Theetge are the only other active drivers with wins at Sutherland Automotive Speedway. Andrew Ranger, commanding the No. 27 GM Paillé Chevrolet, won in 2019, while Donald Theetge claimed the win the year prior, in 2018.
There will also be three local drivers on the track. Jamie Krzysik in the No. 46 has made 19 starts over 8 years and has a career-best finish of fourth at Edmonton in 2016. Prince Albert’s Shantel Kalika in the No. 43 Co-op Lake Country / McMath Auction inc. prepared by D.J. Kennington has made 16 NASCAR Canada starts over 5 years and has a best finish of 11th, twice. Also driving a car prepared by Kennington is Saskatoon’s Matthew Shirley in the No. 28 Crush-it Hard Ice Tea. Shirley has five starts over 2 years, and a best finish of 10th in Edmonton last year.
