Three different ways to measure a race — and they often point to different drivers.

Official winner — Cole Custer (#41): where the car was at the checkered flag (P1). Led 5 laps with 13.55 average running position and 6,820 TLS points.

TLS leader — Ryan Blaney (#12): most position-weighted points across every scored lap (9,169 points). Finished P6 with 18 laps led and 4.79 ARP. TLS rewards running up front all afternoon, not only the final lap.

Best ARP — same as the TLS leader (4.79). The official winner ran a worse average position (13.55).

The checkered flag reflects who survived the final seconds. TLS reflects where drivers ran across the whole race. ARP tells you the typical running spot — but not who banked the most valuable laps.
