Three ways to measure this race
| Official winner | TLS leader | Best ARP | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Driver | Sam Mayer (#1) | John Hunter Nemechek (P) (#20) | John Hunter Nemechek (P) (#20) |
| Finish | P1 | P3 | P3 |
| TLS points | 7162 | 7167 | 7167 |
| ARP | 3.37 | 3.34 | 3.34 |
| Laps led | 46 | 7 | 7 |
Three different ways to measure a race — and they often point to different drivers.
Official winner — Sam Mayer (#1): where the car was at the checkered flag (P1). Led 46 laps with 3.37 average running position and 7,162 TLS points.
TLS leader — John Hunter Nemechek (P) (#20): most position-weighted points across every scored lap (7,167 points). Finished P3 with 7 laps led and 3.34 ARP. TLS rewards running up front all afternoon, not only the final lap.
Best ARP — same as the TLS leader (3.34). The official winner ran a worse average position (3.37).
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.
