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 18 laps with 7.12 average running position and 9,666 TLS points.

TLS leader — Joey Logano (C) (#22): most position-weighted points across every scored lap (10,932 points). Finished P6 with 84 laps led and 3.07 ARP. TLS rewards running up front all afternoon, not only the final lap.

Best ARP — same as the TLS leader (3.07). The official winner ran a worse average position (7.12).

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.

Reddick Claims Victory at Phoenix

The Freeway Insurance 500 featured several cautions and strategic pit stops that reshaped the field. Early and mid-race cautions for incidents involving the #3 and #51 cars, as well as a flat tire for the #10, gave drivers chances to take the free pass. Joey Logano (#22) won the second stage, while several other drivers used the wave to regain lead-lap status.

Ryan Blaney (#12) dropped from sixth to fifteenth after a slow left rear tire change on lap 189 but fought his way back. A caution on lap 283 for the #5 set up the final run, and Tyler Reddick (#45) held off the field in the closing laps.

Tyler Reddick (#45) won the race by 0.801 seconds over Ryan Blaney (#12).
