Three ways to measure this race
| Official winner | TLS leader | Best ARP | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Driver | John H. Nemechek (#20) | Josh Berry (#8) | Josh Berry (#8) |
| Finish | P1 | P2 | P2 |
| TLS points | 4102 | 4346 | 4346 |
| ARP | 6.44 | 4.51 | 4.51 |
| Laps led | 65 | 0 | 0 |
Three different ways to measure a race — and they often point to different drivers.
Official winner — John H. Nemechek (#20): where the car was at the checkered flag (P1). Led 65 laps with 6.44 average running position and 4,102 TLS points.
TLS leader — Josh Berry (#8): most position-weighted points across every scored lap (4,346 points). Finished P2 with 0 laps led and 4.51 ARP. TLS rewards running up front all afternoon, not only the final lap.
Best ARP — same as the TLS leader (4.51). The official winner ran a worse average position (6.44).
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.
