Who really raced up front?
TrueLapScore (TLS) scores every lap. On each lap, every car earns points for where it is running: in a 38-car field P1 earns 38 and P38 earns 1. Add up the laps for the race, then the races for the season.
It doesn't replace NASCAR's official points. It shows who ran up front all race, not just who was in front at the checkered flag. How it works →
