Ever since Roger Penske fired Tim Cindric as Team Penske President in the wake of their Indy 500 qualifying cheating scandal, Tim's son Austin has steadily faded to his typical mediocrity. That could just be a coincidence as plenty of other teams seem to be giving up on the regular season races once they win their way into the playoffs, as Cindric did at Talladega. Furthermore, Cindric has only really been fast lately on drafting tracks and intermediates and the series has pivoted away from those tracks in recent months. As a result, don't count on Cindric turning it around at Dover, a track which is not exactly his metier. Cindric's 26th-place starting position is his worst ever at a track where he has never finished better than 15th. He starts poorly enough that he could have value, but it's more likely that his recent lack of performance except on two track types will override that.--Sean Wrona - RotoBaller
