Larson had an impressive average running position (ARP) of 1.32 and a net gain rating (GR-LR) of 5.27. Larson started at the pole position and maintained his lead effortlessly, finishing first. This consistent performance underscores Larson's capability to hold positions, evident from his best-in-class ARP.
Chase Elliott started in third and finished second with an ARP of 2.62 and a GR-LR of 4.97. Elliott also led several laps in the race, proving his speed with an effective speed score. Third place went to Kyle Busch, who had a substantial movement from the 20th starting position to finish third. Busch recorded an ARP of 5.43 and a net rating of 5.41, reflecting significant gains throughout the race.
Denny Hamlin and Brad Keselowski showed notable performance differences. Hamlin improved from 14th to 7th, with an ARP of 10.44 and a GR-LR of 2.38, which speaks volumes about his strategic driving. Keselowski, however, dropped from a second-place start to finish 11th, showcasing the wild fluctuations in his ARP, standing at 14.37. This drop could partly be attributed to the late-race caution around Lap 297, making it a bonanza of position changes in the final laps.
