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 10 laps with 2.77 average running position and 9,689 TLS points.

TLS leader — Denny Hamlin (#11): most position-weighted points across every scored lap (9,896 points). Finished P4 with 131 laps led and 2.01 ARP. TLS rewards running up front all afternoon, not only the final lap.

Best ARP — same as the TLS leader (2.01). The official winner ran a worse average position (2.77).

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 steals Kansas in overtime

Denny Hamlin (#11) won stage 1 and Kyle Larson (#5) won stage 2, with Larson (#5) leading much of the middle of the race. A lap-266 caution for Cody Ware (#51) in turn 4 set up a late pit cycle — Hamlin (#11) took two tires and restarted beside Reddick (#45).

In overtime Larson (#5) took the lead in turns 1–2 before Tyler Reddick (#45) got by between turns 3 and 4 on the final lap. Contact between Reddick (#45) and Bell (#20) had broken Bell's toe link earlier; Reddick (#45) won by 0.118 seconds over Larson (#5).
