2025 Fantasy Outlook
This is a make-or-break season for Cindric in 2024. The young driver is coming off his second campaign in Roger Penske's No. 2 Ford and it did not measure up to Penske standards by any stretch of the imagination. Cindric failed to make the Chase playoffs and only collected five Top-10 finishes throughout the 2023 season. It all added up to a disappointing 24th-place finish in the final driver standings for Cindric and the No. 2 team. These developments are quite concerning considering that his teammate at Penske, Ryan Blaney, won three races and took last season's Cup Series championship. The pressure will be on to rebound in the upcoming season. This is a contract year for Cindric and he'll have all the motivation he needs to perform. Brian Wilson returns at crew chief and the two will look to resurrect the No. 2 Ford team to its former glory and prestige. Improvement is a given, although we're not convinced it will be by any means dramatic. Read Past Outlooks

Wins Jack Link's 500
Cindric won the Jack Link's 500 NASCAR Cup Series race at Talladega Superspeedway on Sunday afternoon.
ANALYSIS
Cindric would earn a little redemption for good speed in recent superspeedway races but not earning the finishes he deserved. Sunday at Talladega would be different. The driver of the No. 2 Ford would only lead 7 laps for the day but he'd make his move at the perfect time. Kyle Larson would give Cindric a good push on the final lap and he would overtake Ryan Preece and win a the finish line by mere feet. It was Cindric's first victory of the season and third-career win.
