Three ways to measure this race
| Official winner | TLS leader | Best ARP | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Driver | Bubba Wallace (#23) | Chase Elliott (#9) | Chase Elliott (#9) |
| Finish | P1 | P8 | P8 |
| TLS points | 1071 | 1151 | 1151 |
| ARP | 6.15 | 4.82 | 4.82 |
| Laps led | 21 | 15 | 15 |
Three different ways to measure a race — and they often point to different drivers.
Official winner — Bubba Wallace (#23): where the car was at the checkered flag (P1). Led 21 laps with 6.15 average running position and 1,071 TLS points.
TLS leader — Chase Elliott (#9): most position-weighted points across every scored lap (1,151 points). Finished P8 with 15 laps led and 4.82 ARP. TLS rewards running up front all afternoon, not only the final lap.
Best ARP — same as the TLS leader (4.82). The official winner ran a worse average position (6.15).
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.
