Austin Cindric News, Rumors, & NASCAR Updates

Top-5 Martinsville Finish Cindric finished fourth in the Xfinity 500 NASCAR Cup Series race at Martinsville Speedway on Sunday afternoon.

Impact Cindric turned in one of the best short track performances of his career Sunday in the Xfinity 500. The Penske Racing driver came from 24th on the starting grid to patiently work his way forward. By stage 3 Cindric would be racing among the leaders in the closing laps. A late caution would help him to hold onto that track position gained and fend off Denny Hamlin for a career-best short track finish of fourth-place at Martinsville. It was just his fourth Top 5 of the season.
