2 years agoAustin Cindric has experienced the highest of highs at Daytona as he won the Daytona 500 this year. He runs very well on the 2.5-mile track. In 2021, he was running close to the front before an accident ruined his day. Cindric still finished 15th after starting 39th. However, the Team Penske driver has never raced in the summer at Daytona on the highest level. There is no playoff bubble for the Ford driver to worry about and starting 14th will not impact him much. If anything, he should be able to move up the field. His late speed at the 500 could translate well (led 21 laps) on Saturday night. --Chris Wassel - RotoBaller
