But something stuck in his eye bothered him for most of the race.

“I’m sorry if I’m blinking a lot, but I got something in my eye halfway through the race, and it hurt so bad. “I’ve been blinking like the entire last hour,” Cindric said.

“Something came in my visor or something, but it’s been stuck under my eyelid from like halfway through the race,” Cindric added.

“I’ve had tears rolling down my face the entire race. I can’t get it out. I was taking my gloves off and whatever. When you have the adrenaline, it’s not a big deal apparently. Right now, it’s driving me crazy,” he further said.

Cindric has been in great form and solidified his position in the Xfinity Series points standings.

“When it comes to me, that’s my job, to do the best with the tools that I have, and I feel like from the start of this year, I’ve been getting the most out of the cars I’ve been driving. It’s gratifying to see that come with results,” Cindric expressed.
