Despite his fluky Gateway win, Austin Cindric is generally lackluster outside of drafting tracks and to a lesser extent road courses. Since he was well below the cutline and the Penske cars have been so fast on drafting tracks, Cindric likely knew that a win at Talladega would be his best shot at advancing to the Round of 8, especially after his dominant run at Atlanta, and he nearly delivered. He won Stage 2 and made a race-high eight passes for the lead. While alongside eventual winner Ricky Stenhouse Jr., Cindric's teammate Joey Logano bumped former No. 2 car driver Brad Keselowski into Cindric, triggering a massive 23-car wreck. That wreck essentially ensures Cindric won't advance to the Round of 8, but given his team's lack of speed, even making it this far was miraculous.--Sean Wrona - RotoBaller
