3 years agoAustin Cindric backed up his Daytona 500 win by taking the pole position for Sunday afternoon's race at Fontana. The 200-lap race could unfold much differently, but for Cindric to win the pole is significant. He is the only Ford in the top-five cars. That is somewhat surprising. Cindric held off Erik Jones by just a mere 0.116 seconds. The No. 2 car has proven to be quite fast in practices so far in the first two races. Cindric did win five times in the Xfinity series last year and is making the jump look easy so far. His race prospects are a bit of a wild card, but do not count him out from contending.--Chris Wassel - RotoBaller
