Austin Cindric and the No. 22 MoneyLion Ford Mustang team started in the fifth position and finished 12th in the NASCAR Xfinity Series regular season finale at Las Vegas Motor Speedway on Saturday night. Cindric will enter the NASCAR Playoffs as the fourth seed in the standings, -38 points behind the leader Christopher Bell.

"We set out today to clinch the regular-season championship and did just that and more. This is a huge accomplishment for everyone at RCR and ECR Engines and all the work they've put in this year. We have been focusing on Playoff points over the last few weeks, trying to capitalize on them as much as possible, so this will be a nice bonus to help kick off our title run at Richmond Raceway next week."

Christopher Bell led 154 (of 200) laps before finishing second to lead Toyota in tonight’s event

COLE CUSTER, No. 00 Haas Automation Ford Mustang - Finished 4th - “We were just tight and we tried to make adjustments to fix it and it helped some spots but not others. It was a tough weekend because we didn’t have the best practice. It was hard to adjust for what we needed to do in the race. I was happy with it. I can’t than everyone at Haas Automation, Ford Performance and Roush Yates Engines enough. We had a great regular season and I am really looking forward to the playoffs.”

“Alright guys, pretty emotional week for me. (I’m) going into my last ever time of buckling up the helmet as a professional racecar driver. I’ve got a lot on my mind. A lot of emotions, a lot of memories. I know this is the final time I’ll put my seat belt on and take a green flag of a NASCAR event."

“We just came off an awesome top five run at my hometown track of Indianapolis Motor Speedway. This week we are in the final race of the regular season at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. We went there a few months back in the spring. We are going back there now with a lot of data and set up notes to try and get a little better run than we did last time. We are going to try and take what we learned in Vegas at the last race and apply it to this race and hopefully gain some really good momentum for the playoffs next week at Richmond.”
