Brenden “Butterbean” Queen (No. 28 BestRepair.net Chevrolet) scored his second career ARCA Menards Series win and his second of 2025 with a dominant victory in Friday’s Tide 150 at Kansas Speedway. Queen led 72 of the race’s 105 laps and held off runner-up William Sawalich (No. 18 Starkey Toyota) on a trio of late-race restarts, including one on the final lap to win.
