Three ways to measure this race
| Official winner | TLS leader | Best ARP | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Driver | Tyler Reddick (#45) | Chase Elliott (#9) | Kyle Larson (#5) |
| Finish | P1 | P15 | P34 |
| TLS points | 5603 | 6331 | 3651 |
| ARP | 9.93 | 6.42 | 5.53 |
| Laps led | 15 | 29 | 41 |
Three different ways to measure a race — and they often point to different drivers.
Official winner — Tyler Reddick (#45): where the car was at the checkered flag (P1). Led 15 laps with 9.93 average running position and 5,603 TLS points.
TLS leader — Chase Elliott (#9): most position-weighted points across every scored lap (6,331 points). Finished P15 with 29 laps led and 6.42 ARP. TLS rewards running up front all afternoon, not only the final lap.
Best ARP — Kyle Larson (#5): lowest average running position (5.53). Finished P34 with 3,651 TLS points and 41 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.
