Austin Cindric earned a dramatic victory at Gateway last weekend, passing his Penske team-mate Ryan Blaney at the white flag when the reigning Cup Series champion ran out of fuel.
It was the second victory of Cindric’s career and his first since winning the 2022 Daytona 500. Cindric, who was deep in the standings, is now locked into the 2024 playoffs and becomes the first Team Penske driver to win a points-paying race this year.
Denny Hamlin leads the regular season championship, 21 points clear of Kyle Larson. Larson remains playoff eligible after finally being granted a waiver earlier this week.
NASCAR now heads to Sonoma Raceway where Martin Truex Jr. is the defending winner. Truex is winless so far in 2024. Sonoma marks the final Cup race broadcasted by FOX Sports for the season.
This week in the news, Todd Gilliland re-signed with Front Row Motorsports. NASCAR also fined Kyle Weatherman $25,000 for intentionally running into Ryan Sieg’s car on pitroad after the Portland Xfinity race.
