Kaulig Racing will once again call upon Brenden “Butterbean” Queen to slide behind the steering wheel of the No. 11 Chevrolet in the NASCAR Xfinity Series. Queen will make his second career NASCAR Xfinity Series start this weekend at Kansas Speedway.
The race team announced Queen’s return with a social media post on Monday afternoon.

Following the announcement from Kaulig Racing, Queen quoted the post on his X account, where he confirmed Action Industries as his primary sponsorship partner for the event, and he expressed his joy over being granted an additional chance to compete in the NASCAR Xfinity Series.
“Blessed for another opportunity to get back behind the wheel of the @Action_Ind Chevy with @KauligRacing this weekend at @KansasSpeedway,” Queen posted on X.
Queen, a native of Chesapeake, Virginia, nabbed a 20th-place result in his NASCAR Xfinity Series debut a couple of weeks ago at Bristol Motor Speedway. Queen started the Food City 300 from the 28th position and was able to gain a lot of experience behind the wheel in the NASCAR Xfinity Series as he completed all 300 laps in the race.
With that experience under his belt, he’ll look to gain more experience this weekend at an intermediate 1.5-mile oval.
The 27-year-old racer was the 2024 champion of the CARS Late Model Stock Car Tour, and he has claimed numerous big-time regional short track victories, including a victory in the 2022 South Carolina 400 at the now-defunct Myrtle Beach Speedway.
After much success on the regional short track racing scene, Queen landed a part-time ride in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series ranks with TRICON Garage in 2024. Queen would impress by finishing fourth at North Wilkesboro Speedway in his series debut. After three starts in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, Queen landed a full-time ARCA Menards Series ride with Pinnacle Racing Group for the 2025 season.
Queen captured a win in the most recent ARCA Menards Series event, which took place at Salem Speedway on Saturday, September 20.
With two races remaining in the 20-race ARCA Menards Series season, Queen has amassed seven victories, and he ranks as the series point leader by 56 points over Lavar Scott.
