Miserable day for Austin Cindric at Charlotte Roval ends playoff run

A few laps later, Cindric found himself on the receiving end of contact from Justin Haley, which sent Cindric spinning in the infield portion of the racetrack. 

Early in Stage 2, another Spire Motorsports driver made contact with Cindric. Carson Hocevar hit Cindric going into the frontstretch chicane, which led to Cindric's No. 2 Team Penske Ford sustaining significant damage. 

Per Fox Sports' Bob Pockrass, two control arms on Cindric's vehicle were bent. Following the contact with Hocevar, suspension damage was obvious on Cindric's car as he limped to pit road. The damage forced Cindric behind the wall for repairs, effectively ending his chances of winning Sunday's race and advancing in the Cup Series playoffs.
