Three ways to measure this race
| Official winner | TLS leader | Best ARP | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Driver | Joey Logano (#22) | Alex Bowman (P) (#48) | Kyle Larson (P) (#5) |
| Finish | P1 | P5 | P37 |
| TLS points | 8068 | 9007 | 2017 |
| ARP | 8.78 | 5.27 | 2.98 |
| Laps led | 9 | 5 | 0 |
Three different ways to measure a race — and they often point to different drivers.
Official winner — Joey Logano (#22): where the car was at the checkered flag (P1). Led 9 laps with 8.78 average running position and 8,068 TLS points.
TLS leader — Alex Bowman (P) (#48): most position-weighted points across every scored lap (9,007 points). Finished P5 with 5 laps led and 5.27 ARP. TLS rewards running up front all afternoon, not only the final lap.
Best ARP — Kyle Larson (P) (#5): lowest average running position (2.98). Finished P37 with 2,017 TLS points and 0 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.
