Out 150 laps today, no one but Brenden “Butterbean” Queen led. The Pinnacle Racing Group driver has done it again. For the fourth time this season, Queen has won an ARCA Menards Series race and is the clear championship favorite at this point.

Butterbean Queen started on the pole and refused to give up the lead. Brent Crews wrecked out of the race early. So, we didn’t get another showdown between those two drivers. We did get a lesson from Queen, though.

In his first visit to the Monster Mile, Butterbean walks away. He has conquered the high banks of Dover and is ready to move on to IRP and then Iowa. The season is halfway over, and 10 races remain.

How many more wins can Butterbean Queen get? Will anyone else rise up to challenge him for the championship?

Miles the Monster is going with Butterbean to Langley Speedway. The short tracker is returning to his home track in order to race the Hampton Heat race. As a three-time track champion and three-time Hampton Heat winner, Queen is going to carry this momentum into the weekend.

A fourth Hampton Heat win would be major for Butterbean Queen. He doesn’t get to race the late models as much as he would like to right now with his ARCA and NASCAR career starting to take off. However, Langley and the Hampton Heat race are special. So, he’s making time.

Butterbean Queen still vulnerable in ARCA championship

Despite having the most wins this season, Butterbean Queen is not running away with the championship. However, he likely pushed his lead out a little further tonight as drivers like Lavar Scott and Lawless Alan had issues early in the race.

Camden Murphy was a major threat at one point. However, Murphy’s car wasn’t able to catch up to Queen in the end. Still, a strong showing for the driver and for Nitro Motorsports. Isabella Robusto had a great race and finished P3.

Queen came into Dover with a 9 point lead over Alan for the championship lead. Tonight, he has a great race and pushes that lead a little further out. But he is anything but safe right now. A couple of DNFs or bad finishes and this could be a very competitive championship battle down to the wire.
