Short tracks have always been typically Austin Cindric's worst track type in the Cup Series and he only started 21st and finished 30th in last year's Iowa race. Nonetheless, he has been generally faster this year and he does have a knack for setting fast qualifying laps, as evidenced by yesterday's performance when he qualified fourth and was the fastest Ford. He did surprisingly rank second in average lap time in yesterday's practice also. However, he still seldom leads except on pit strategy, drafting tracks, or early in intermediate races, so he likely won't gain much in the way of either lap leader or fastest lap points and he's almost guaranteed to lose positions since he's never finished better than fourth on a short track. Although he might run and finish better than you think, the almost guaranteed loss of positions makes him a major DFS liability.--Sean Wrona - RotoBaller
