ADVANCE NOTES

Cindric on Fontana

“I’ve never raced there; it’s one of three tracks that I’ll visit for the first time this season; The other two being Richmond and Darlington. Michigan is similar in size and shape to Fontana and I’ve had some success there. In 2017, I was able to lead a lot of laps and battled for the win. I’ve spent some time on the sim prepping for Fontana and even got some advice from Mark Martin when he was at the shop the other day. He described Fontana as a hybrid mix between Atlanta and Michigan. It’s got the characteristics of Atlanta, but the size and shape of Michigan and it’s all about momentum.”

Phoenix Recap

In his first career Xfinity Series start at ISM Raceway, Austin Cindric drove his Pirtek Ford to a 16th-place finish.
