Austin Cindric snapped an 85-race winless streak Sunday with what he would admit was a third-place car. Here's how it played out at Gateway.
MADISON, Ill. — Austin Cindric snapped an 85-race winless streak Sunday with what he would admit was a third-place car. Christopher Bell led 80 laps but an engine issue with about 17 laps remaining as he was dueling Ryan Blaney cost him a shot at the win, and then Blaney — who had led 20 of the previous 21 laps — ran out of fuel coming to the white flag, allowing Blaney teammate Cindric to zoom by for the victory at World Wide Technology Raceway outside of St. Louis.
It looked like it would be Blaney over the final 15 laps until Blaney ran out of fuel. 'Going into the race today, I went to bed last night knowing I'd be really, really disappointed if one of us didn't win,' Cindric said. 'I'm just happy that we were in position there when the 12 car ran out, bring home a win because this team deserves it. 'I can't wait to see everybody back at the shop.
