Three different ways to measure a race — and they often point to different drivers.
Official winner — Kyle Larson(i) (#42): where the car was at the checkered flag (P1). Led 142 laps with 1.51 average running position and 0 TLS points.
TLS leader — Christopher Bell # (#20): most position-weighted points across every scored lap (7,438 points). Finished P2 with 6 laps led and 4.00 ARP. TLS rewards running up front all afternoon, not only the final lap.
Best ARP — same as the TLS leader (4.00). The official winner ran a worse average position (1.51).
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.
