Brenden “Butterbean” Queen will make his NASCAR Truck Series return in the July 25 race at Indianapolis Raceway Park. Queen will pilot the No. 07 Chevrolet Silverado for Spire Motorsports.

This will be Queen’s fourth career Truck Series start and first since last September’s race at Kansas Speedway. Queen finished a career best fourth at North Wilkesboro Speedway in May 2024.

“I’m very blessed for the opportunity to get back in the CRAFTSMAN Truck Series with Spire Motorsports and Chevrolet,” Queen said. “Having Best Repair Company be a part of this means a lot to me because they took a chance on me when I was working at the Port of Virginia and not sure if I would get to continue racing. It is really neat to see how far we have come in the last couple of years and hopefully, this is the first of many more CRAFTSMAN Truck Series starts.”  

Brenden Queen set for Truck Series return amid standout ARCA season

Queen, 27, drives full time for Pinnacle Racing Group in the ARCA Menards Series. He has collected three wins this season — his first full-time campaign in the series — taking the checkered flag at Daytona International Speedway, Kansas and Michigan International Speedway. Queen currently has a nine-point advantage over Lawless Alan atop the points standings.

Before joining ARCA, Queen made a name for himself in the CARS Late Model Stock Car Tour. Queen finished second in 2023 driving for Lee Pulliam Performance before winning the Championship in 2024. Crew chief Allen Hart is excited about getting the chance to work with Queen.

“I’m really looking forward to working with Brenden,” Hart said. “We have made some gains in the simulator over the past few weeks, so I feel confident as we head to IRP. He has been a blast to work with, so we will definitely carry that enthusiasm into the race.”

The No. 07 truck was a winner earlier this season. Kyle Larson drove the truck to victory at Homestead-Miami Speedway.
