Three ways to measure this race
| Official winner | TLS leader | Best ARP | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Driver | Daniel Hemric (#18) | Daniel Hemric (P) (#18) | Austin Cindric (P) (#22) |
| Finish | P1 | P1 | P2 |
| TLS points | 4248 | 4248 | 4239 |
| ARP | 2.18 | 2.18 | 1.97 |
| Laps led | 48 | 48 | 113 |
Three different ways to measure a race — and they often point to different drivers.
Official winner — Daniel Hemric (#18): where the car was at the checkered flag (P1). Led 48 laps with 2.18 average running position and 4,248 TLS points.
TLS leader — same as the official winner (4,248 points, 2.18 ARP).
Best ARP — Austin Cindric (P) (#22): lowest average running position (1.97). Finished P2 with 4,239 TLS points and 113 laps led. ARP is an average across all laps — a driver can run near the front all day yet score fewer TLS points if they led fewer laps, completed fewer laps, or lost ground late while keeping a strong average.
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.
