Austin Cindric's 2019 Ford Mustang GT
Austin Cindric drives the No.22 Ford Mustang for Team Penske in the NASCAR Xfinity Series.
When he’s not driving that, he drives his 2019 Ford Mustang GT.
“I have fallen in love with that car,” says Cindric.. “I have driven a lot the last couple of years, but it’s so simple. Everything is very applicable in your hands and you have a really good feel as far as where the car is out on the road, but it’s not too much. It’s not too much to do it every day and that’s what I like about it.”
But, if you’re going to get Cindric behind the wheel of a Mustang, or any other car for that matter, you’ll have to make sure it has one thing.
“I’ve never driven anything that wasn’t a manual, so, for me, that’s a must. That makes the Mustang a really easy choice for me,” said Cindric, who learned how to shift gears as a kid when his dad, Team Penske president Tim Cindric, let him do so from the passenger seat. “I’d usually have to take the back roads to school to avoid traffic, so that made my morning drive a lot more enjoyable. Obviously, my career choice makes it pretty obvious on what kind of car I’m gonna want to drive around most days, but it’s nice to have the power and the grip when you need it.”
