SPARTA, Ky. (AP) Austin Cindric raced to his first ARCA Racing Series victory Friday night at Kentucky Speedway, holding off Dalton Sargeant in a green-white-checker finish.

Cindric, the 18-year-old son of Team Penske President Tim Cindric, was making his second career start in the series. He drove Cunningham Motorsports' No. 99 Ford on the 1.5-mile oval.

Matt Tifft was third, followed by Tom Hessert, Matt Kurzejewski, Josh Williams, Bret Holmes, A.J. Fike, Shane Lee and Mark Thompson.

Chase Briscoe missed a chance to wrap up the season title with one race remaining, finishing 22nd after a late accident.
