Austin Cindric and the No. 2 Discount Tire team showed resilience throughout Sunday’s FireKeepers Casino 400 at Michigan International Speedway, battling through multiple setbacks in a race that offered both opportunity and frustration.
After starting 11th, Cindric reported a tight condition in the opening run and finished Stage 1 in the 13th position. A concern for a potential loose wheel forced the team to make an extra stop, dropping Cindric to the rear of the field for the restart.

Northeast Metal Art serving region’s short track teams with quality Powder Coating Sam Gooden and his sons building stellar reputation among racers
SOUTH PARIS, Maine (Mar. 10, 2020) — There’s a hot new trend taking place among northern New England race teams as the 2020 season draws ever closer. It’s not one that involves some trick part, suspension theory or secret engine program, yet it sure improves the appearance of a new chassis.
Over in Whitefield, New Hampshire, short track veteran Sam Gooden and his sons Sammy Jr. and Michael are servicing teams from the Pro All Stars Series, the American-Canadian Tour, the Granite State Pro Stock Series and racers who compete at weekly tracks with their high-quality powder coating skills.
Gooden and his Northeast Metal Art company have been powder coating new Port City Racecar chassis for several customers at Crazy Horse Racing (CHR) (approx. 16-18), and their work truly sets the gold standard. Not many teams care to fool with the standard painting process any more; powder coating is simpler and easily produces better results. Gooden’s results make CHR customers happy.
