Three ways to measure this race

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

Official winner — Tyler Reddick (#45): where the car was at the checkered flag (P1). Led 77 laps with 6.10 average running position and 9,380 TLS points.

TLS leader — Brad Keselowski (#6): most position-weighted points across every scored lap (10,441 points). Finished P2 with 142 laps led and 2.49 ARP. TLS rewards running up front all afternoon, not only the final lap.

Best ARP — same as the TLS leader (2.49). The official winner ran a worse average position (6.10).

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.

Reddick holds off Keselowski at Darlington

Tyler Reddick (#45) led from the green and paced the Goodyear 400 for 77 laps. Brad Keselowski (#6) won stage 1; Keselowski (#6) also won stage 2 ahead of Chris Buescher (#17). A lap-111 caution came when Erik Jones (#43) spun into Denny Hamlin (#11) and both hit the wall.

After a lap-197 caution for Riley Herbst (#35) in turn 4, Reddick (#45) held the lead through the finish — winning by 5.847 seconds over Keselowski (#6) in a race that stayed green to the checkered.
