Austin Cindric Qualified Third, but Almost Guaranteed to Lose Spots
1 min agoAustin Cindric tends to qualify well on flat intermediates and Las Vegas is no exception as he has now qualified third here for the third time including three of the last four winter Las Vegas races. However, he also has a history of sliding back through the pack when he qualifies well on an intermediate and he has lost positions in every Las Vegas start, except for the 2023 winter race when he started 9th and finished 6th, but he ran significantly worse in that race since his average running position was 18th. Despite having four top ten qualifying runs at Las Vegas, he has never had an ARP better than 13th in six previous starts, so starting from third, he is almost certain to lose positions and while he could lead a few laps in the beginning, there's not enough value to start him even at $7,200.
