Cindric had put an absolute whopping on the field leading 59 of the 75 laps but when it came down to the end, Cindric couldn't lead the laps that mattered. Despite not earning the victory, Cindric still earned his career-best finish of second.
Daniel Hemric finished in second while Matt Tifft and Ryan Truex rounded out the top-five. Truex earns his first top-five finish since 2012 and Kaulig Racing's best career finish. All three drivers are sitting pretty as we head to Bristol with five races remaining before the cut-off.
