2018–2019 Methodology Note · ARP-Derived How 2018 TrueLapScore standings differ from 2020–present

NASCAR's lap-by-lap lap-times.json feed begins in 2020. For 2018 and 2019, TrueLapScore points are reconstructed from NASCAR's official post-race timing feed (live_feed.json / Loop Data Average Running Position and Laps Completed) using the mathematical identity TLS Points = round((Laps Completed + 1) × (Cars in Field + 1 − ARP)).

Because NASCAR's Loop Data samples running position across multiple track timing loops each lap rather than solely at the start/finish line, 2018–2019 race totals can vary by ~0.1%–0.3% (typically 1–15 points per race) from start/finish-only lap scoring, and lap-by-lap Top-5/Top-10 lap counts are not available.

Three ways to measure this race

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

Official winner — John H. Nemechek(i) (#8): where the car was at the checkered flag (P1). Led 31 laps with 4.54 average running position and 0 TLS points.

TLS leader — Grant Enfinger (#98): most position-weighted points across every scored lap (6,933 points). Finished P4 with 0 laps led and 5.38 ARP. TLS rewards running up front all afternoon, not only the final lap.

Best ARP — same as the TLS leader (5.38). 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.
