Austin Cedric acknowledged that the rear left tire of his Ford Mustang was cut in corner entry and unfortunately there was absolutely no warning sign for him. He went on to say he decided to run bottom on that lap, which meant he was a long distance away from the wall, in his fast Menards/Cardell Ford Mustang but had a hard hit.
“We cut a left-rear tire down right on the corner entry. There was absolutely no warning and unfortunately, that was the lap I decided to run the bottom, so a long distance to the wall and a pretty hard hit. We had a really fast Menards/Cardell Ford Mustang,” Austin Cindric said.
Austin Cindric went on to say he was having fun and the fact that the fast cars usually climb up through the field running the top and the bottom he finds the situation he is in just unfortunate saying “I was having fun. We had a fast car and fast cars usually climb up through the field running the top and running the bottom. It’s just unfortunate,”.
Austin Cindric was realized from the care center shortly after with his teammates, Ryan Blaney and Joey Logano, staying on the track carrying the hopes for Team Penske Racing.
