Three ways to measure this race

Official winner TLS leader Best ARP
Driver AJ Allmendinger (#16) Austin Hill # (P) (#21) Austin Hill # (P) (#21)
Finish P1 P14 P14
TLS points 3724 4055 4055
ARP 6.33 3.43 3.43
Laps led 3 60 60

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

Official winner — AJ Allmendinger (#16): where the car was at the checkered flag (P1). Led 3 laps with 6.33 average running position and 3,724 TLS points.

TLS leader — Austin Hill # (P) (#21): most position-weighted points across every scored lap (4,055 points). Finished P14 with 60 laps led and 3.43 ARP. TLS rewards running up front all afternoon, not only the final lap.

Best ARP — same as the TLS leader (3.43). The official winner ran a worse average position (6.33).

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.
