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

Official winner — William Byron (#24): where the car was at the checkered flag (P1). Led 7 laps with 3.70 average running position and 9,858 TLS points.

TLS leader — same as the official winner (9,858 points, 3.70 ARP).

Best ARP — Ross Chastain (#1): lowest average running position (3.23). Finished P29 with 9,726 TLS points and 93 laps led. ARP is an average across all laps — a driver can run near the front all day yet score fewer TLS points if they led fewer laps, completed fewer laps, or lost ground late while keeping a strong average.

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.
