Three ways to measure this race
| Official winner | TLS leader | Best ARP | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Driver | Chase Elliott (#9) | Joey Logano (P) (#22) | Joey Logano (P) (#22) |
| Finish | P1 | P2 | P2 |
| TLS points | 3448 | 3453 | 3453 |
| ARP | 7.65 | 7.61 | 7.61 |
| Laps led | 27 | 0 | 0 |
Three different ways to measure a race — and they often point to different drivers.
Official winner — Chase Elliott (#9): where the car was at the checkered flag (P1). Led 27 laps with 7.65 average running position and 3,448 TLS points.
TLS leader — Joey Logano (P) (#22): most position-weighted points across every scored lap (3,453 points). Finished P2 with 0 laps led and 7.61 ARP. TLS rewards running up front all afternoon, not only the final lap.
Best ARP — same as the TLS leader (7.61). The official winner ran a worse average position (7.65).
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.
