Watching this race, it didn't feel like a dominant win for Austin Hill. Somewhere around the three-quarter mark of the race, I was looking at the stats on Lap Raptor Live and noted Hill's ARP was 1.18. That was going to be a special number if he held it.
He finished the race with a green-flag ARP of 1.12. Indeed, it is special. How special?
In the Lap Raptor lap-by-lap database, an ARP (again, green flag laps) of 1.12 is third best in the Xfinity series since 2020...

| Cole Custer | 2023 | Chicago Streets | 2023-07-02 | 1.00 | 1 |
| Jesse Love | 2024 | Atlanta | 2024-02-25 | 1.11 | 12 |
