Chesapeake’s Brenden “Butterbean” Queen wrapped up his first ARCA championship simply by starting the series’ final race of the year, Saturday’s Owens Corning 200 in Toledo, Ohio. Queen was Saturday’s runner-up in the field of 25, 2.255 seconds behind Toyota driver Max Reaves.
Queen gained eight victories, finished in the top five another nine times and won four pole positions in Pinnacle Racing Group’s No. 28 Chevrolet in 2025.
“It’s pretty special for me,” the Hickory High graduate said on arcaracing.com. “My last six years, I’ve won three Langley [Speedway] championships, a CARS Tour championship and now an ARCA championship. It’s really special to add my name to that list of drivers that have done it. A lot of them are in Cup or Xfinity, so it gives me a lot of hope and optimism about the future.”
