Bestrepair.net sponsored driver Brenden Queen won the Ride the ‘Dente 200 on Saturday. He won the season-opener at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida.
This was Queen’s first ARCA Menards Series win. However, it was just his second race in the series.
“It’s a lot of never give up,” Queen said. “I’ve never had money. We did what we could, grinded and grinded. Trust the process is the motto I’ve had the past two years. My story is one of those eyeball ones of a lottery ticket. I’m fighting for my career. I have nothing guaranteed for next year, so hopefully this is a good start.”

The former CARS Tour driver made his ARCA debut as a 21-year-old in 2019.
“Butterbean” Queen led 10 of the 80 laps. Starkey-sponsored driver William Sawalich had 29 laps led.
“It was a turning point in my Late Model career,” Queen said about his Late Model career helping him to get to this point. “I accepted that I had got to the top of what I thought was going to happen. I hit rock bottom, picked myself up, and said I wanted to be a competitive Late Model Stock guy. There’s nothing wrong with that.
“We started turning our program around back home at Langley and it catapulted into those three championships.”
Lavar Scott also had 10 laps led. NDSU/Brenco sponsored driver Bryce Haugeberg had four laps led. AutoParkIt sponsored driver Lawless Alan had 26 laps led.
