Austin Cindric Unlikely to Advance in NASCAR Playoffs
Austin Cindric is probably not going to advance to the Round of 8 this year since he rarely posts good finishes, even though he has a lot of good runs. Cindric sits 19 points behind his former Xfinity Series rival Chase Briscoe for the final transfer spot, but Briscoe is starting on the pole while Cindric only qualified 26th at a track where he has never led a lap or finished better than 11th. Briscoe will likely score a lot of stage points while Cindric will not, which will likely put him out of contention. Cindric did qualify poorly enough to make him a possibly strong option for DFS play, but the thing is, his superior Penske teammates, Joey Logano and Ryan Blaney, are both starting even worse, which means they would be better bets for place-differential points unless you want to save money for another top driver since Cindric costs much less at $7,200.
