Austin Cindric said Saturday that he will return to the Team Penske No. 2 Ford in the NASCAR Cup Series in 2024.
Cindric confirmed his status for next season during an availability Saturday at Charlotte Motor Speedway’s road course, site of Sunday’s Bank of America Roval 400 (2 p.m. ET, NBC, PRN, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio, NBC Sports App) in the Cup Series Playoffs.

Cindric is in his second full season of Cup Series competition. The 25-year-old driver won the Daytona 500 as a rookie in 2022, clinching a postseason berth.
Cindric missed this Cup Series Playoffs this year, and he currently ranks 23rd in the driver standings with a season-best finish of fifth place coming last week at Talladega Superspeedway.
Before reaching NASCAR’s top division, Cindric collected 13 victories in the Xfinity Series. He also has one Craftsman Truck Series win, driving for Brad Keselowski — the driver he replaced in the Roger Penske-owned No. 2 ride.
