Austin Cindric Mediocre at Iowa Even Outside of the Cup Series
6 months agoDespite Austin Cindric's surprise win at Gateway two weeks ago, it seems unlikely that he will be a significant contender in tonight's race at Iowa Speedway. Although Cindric has more experience than many other drivers at Iowa, he has never finished better than 10th in the Xfinity Series or eighth in the Craftsman Truck Series. Although Cindric did win the pole for his first Xfinity Series race in 2018 and led the first 58 laps there, he never again led there after losing the lead in that race. On top of that, Cindric qualified just 21st, which is considerably worse than he has qualified in most other races this season. He tends to usually finish worse than he starts. He also tends to run worse on short tracks than on most other track types. When considering all of these factors, fantasy players should stay away from Cindric.
