Austin Cindric Slowest Ford Regular in Homestead Qualifying
2 months agoAfter being eliminated from the NASCAR playoffs in the Round of 12, Austin Cindric doesn't have a great deal at stake at Homestead, but his 36th-place qualifying run was definitely a disappointment. While the Fords in general were very slow in qualifying as none of them qualified in the top ten, Cindric has had a history of qualifying well on 1.5-mile intermediates in the past. Admittedly, not so much at Homestead where he qualified 26th in both of his previous races. Although Cindric usually finishes worse than he starts, he did improve to 19th and 12th in his previous two starts and they weren't particularly lucky either, so if the Fords have any speed whatsoever, he might be able to get a top twenty, but also don't be surprised if most of the Ford teams are slow all day.
