Austin Cindric is on a roll.
Cindric won the pole for the Food City 300 at Bristol Motor Speedway with a lap of 122.568 mph. Kyle Busch will be alongside Cindric on the front row, later this evening (Aug. 16).
“P1 at Bristol with this Money Lion Ford, this is pretty cool!” Cindric said after qualifying concluded. “We had a pretty unenthusiastic practice yesterday but we worked on the right things and it showed.”
Cindric has won the past two races and now has won back to back poles in the Xfinity Series.
Justin Allgaier will start third with Cole Custer and Jeremy Clements rounding out the top five.
Christopher Bell will start eighth later this evening.
