Austin Cindric Spanks the Field, Sweeps Kentucky Xfinity Series Double Header

Coming into this week at Kentucky Speedway, the stigma revolving around Austin Cindric was his inability to win races on oval tracks. By the end of a double-header NASCAR Xfinity Series weekend, we now are left to wonder: Will he ever lose an oval race again?

Cindric led a race-high 130 laps on Friday night in the Alsco 300 to take his second win of the 2020 NXS season and his second-career win on an oval.

Chase Briscoe, who has five wins in 2020, finished runner-up, 2.3 seconds behind Cindric.

Kaulig Racing’s Justin Haley and Ross Chastain were third and fourth and JR Motorsports’ Justin Allgaier had an incredible rally after early race misfortunes to score a fifth-place finish.

On lap one, Allgaier had a broke rotor from Kyle Weatherman’s car slam into his windshield. A few laps later, he had a tire going down on his No. 7 and lost a lap getting it changed.

He rebounded and dodged a lot of chaos over the last few laps for a great finish one night after going to the hospital due to an elevated heart rate.

Anthony Alfredo finished sixth and capped off a successful weekend, while Noah Gragson, Michael Annett, Daniel Hemric and Riley Herbst rounded out the top-10 finishers.

Following the race, Gragson, who slid into Harrison Burton on the final restart causing Burton to skid out of a potential top-five run to finish 12th, was involved in a scuffle — the first since social distancing guidelines were put in place — with Burton. Both driver’s teams were also involved in the tussle.
