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

	Official winner	TLS leader	Best ARP
Driver	Austin Dillon(i) (#3)	Cole Custer (#00)	Cole Custer (#00)
Finish	P1	P3	P3
TLS points	0	3,096	3,096
ARP	8.21	7.35	7.35
Laps led	18	0	0

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

Official winner — Austin Dillon(i) (#3): where the car was at the checkered flag (P1). Led 18 laps with 8.21 average running position and 0 TLS points.

TLS leader — Cole Custer (#00): most position-weighted points across every scored lap (3,096 points). Finished P3 with 0 laps led and 7.35 ARP. TLS rewards running up front all afternoon, not only the final lap.

Best ARP — same as the TLS leader (7.35). The official winner ran a worse average position (8.21).

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.

Race Notes auto-generated

Official winner: Austin Dillon(i) (#3) (ineligible for driver points in this series, so not ranked on TLS).

Luck index ▼ Elliott Sadler ran 5th on TLS but finished P30 (25 spots worse than they ran).
