Austin Cindric Has Issues On Short Tracks Like Martinsville
8 months agoAustin Cindric qualified 14th for tomorrow's Martinsville race. Although he was generally much faster in 2022 than in 2023, he did have his best ever Martinsville finish in the 2023 fall event when he finished 9th. However, he is not particularly known for his short track prowess. Cindric had below average speed at both Bristol and Martinsville. During the 2024 season, he has consistently qualified better than he has finished. Cindric improved his position once this year. Short tracks were Cindric's worst track type in 2023 as he only had a speed percentile of 23.38 on them last year. Given the body of work, it could be a struggle for the Team Penske driver on Sunday.
