Austin Cindric Will Start 28th At Sonoma Raceway
6 months agoAfter qualifying for the Toyota/Save Mart 350 at Sonoma Raceway, Team Penske driver Austin Cindric will start 28th. This marks the third time in his Cup career that Cindric will start 25th or worse at Sonoma, and his second-worst starting position of the year. In two starts at the California road course, Cindric's best finish is fifth, which he collected in 2022. After 15 races this season, Cindric has one win, which he collected at St. Louis last week, and two top-five finishes. In practice, Cindric ranked as the slowest driver in five consecutive lap averages and 20th in overall lap averages. Although Cindric has solid road-course history with six top-10 finishes in 15 races at the track type in his Cup career, he is inconsistent at Sonoma. DFS players should roster him more for FanDuel lineups than DraftKings, where his $7,500 salary on FD leaves some cap flexibility compared to his DK salary ($8,200). Overall, due to his place-differential upside and overall practice speeds, look for Cindric to compete for a top-20 finish.
