The winner of the 2022 Daytona 500 will compete in the NASCAR Cup Series for Team Penske. Before Austin Cindric's success in the Cup Series, he was a dominant force in the Xfinity Series as he won the series championship in 2020. In 2022, the Ohio native won Rookie of the Year where he finished 12th in the championship standings. Most recently in 2024, the 26-year-old made the playoffs and had an impressive season.

In an interview with Racerweek.com Cindric shared that he was taking this year's Rolex 24 and was fully committed to the team.

“It’s not an exhibition for me — I’m committed. I’m committed to doing whatever it takes. If that means letting [teammates] Rocky [Mike Rockenfeller] and Seb [Priaulx] do their thing, because it’s their car, I’m committed to that," the 26-year-old said.

Cindric will join Seb Priaulx and Mike Rockefeller in the #64 Ford Mustang for Ford Multimatic Motorsports.
