2018–2019 Methodology Note · ARP-Derived How 2019 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	Chase Briscoe # (#98)	Christopher Bell (#20)	Christopher Bell (#20)
Finish	P1	P2	P2
TLS points	8,607	9,500	9,500
ARP	4.71	1.15	1.15
Laps led	7	234	234

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

Official winner — Chase Briscoe # (#98): where the car was at the checkered flag (P1). Led 7 laps with 4.71 average running position and 8,607 TLS points.

TLS leader — Christopher Bell (#20): most position-weighted points across every scored lap (9,500 points). Finished P2 with 234 laps led and 1.15 ARP. TLS rewards running up front all afternoon, not only the final lap.

Best ARP — same as the TLS leader (1.15). The official winner ran a worse average position (4.71).

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.
