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

Official winner — Ricky Stenhouse Jr (#47): where the car was at the checkered flag (P1). Led 10 laps with 20.25 average running position and 4,419 TLS points.

TLS leader — Aric Almirola (#10): most position-weighted points across every scored lap (6,914 points). Finished P21 with 16 laps led and 8.39 ARP. TLS rewards running up front all afternoon, not only the final lap.

Best ARP — same as the TLS leader (8.39). The official winner ran a worse average position (20.25).

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.
