Austin Cindric has been in sublime form in 2021. In the five races that have run their course, he has never finished outside the top five. This includes two wins, namely at the Daytona International Speedway and the latest race at the Phoenix Raceway. Other than that, he finished second at the Daytona road course, fifth at Homestead-Miami, and fourth at Las Vegas.

Now, Cindric is continuing his excellent run with pole position at the Atlanta Motor Speedway. Alongside his Ford on the front row is Jeb Burton in the #10 Chevrolet car. Burton leads a trio of Chevy cars, comprising of himself, AJ Allmendinger, and Brandon Brown. Meanwhile, Harrison Burton’s Toyota is in fifth place, making it three different manufacturers in the top five.
