Three ways to measure this race
| Official winner | TLS leader | Best ARP | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Driver | Chase Elliott (#9) | Ryan Blaney (#12) | Ryan Blaney (#12) |
| Finish | P1 | P3 | P3 |
| TLS points | 7048 | 7758 | 7758 |
| ARP | 7.28 | 3.88 | 3.88 |
| Laps led | 28 | 2 | 2 |
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 28 laps with 7.28 average running position and 7,048 TLS points.
TLS leader — Ryan Blaney (#12): most position-weighted points across every scored lap (7,758 points). Finished P3 with 2 laps led and 3.88 ARP. TLS rewards running up front all afternoon, not only the final lap.
Best ARP — same as the TLS leader (3.88). The official winner ran a worse average position (7.28).
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.
