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

Official winner — Ryan Blaney (#12): where the car was at the checkered flag (P1). Led 115 laps with 4.54 average running position and 9,803 TLS points.

TLS leader — Josh Berry (#21): most position-weighted points across every scored lap (10,179 points). Finished P3 with 73 laps led and 3.29 ARP. TLS rewards running up front all afternoon, not only the final lap.

Best ARP — same as the TLS leader (3.29). The official winner ran a worse average position (4.54).

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.
