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 19 laps with 11.43 average running position and 5,795 TLS points.

TLS leader — Austin Cindric (P) (#2): most position-weighted points across every scored lap (6,719 points). Finished P32 with 29 laps led and 4.48 ARP. TLS rewards running up front all afternoon, not only the final lap.

Best ARP — same as the TLS leader (4.48). The official winner ran a worse average position (11.43).

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.
