ARCA Notes: Queen Gets No. 4

TOLEDO, Ohio — Brenden Queen dominated the entire day at Dover Motor Speedway, leading practice, earning the General Tire Pole Award, and then leading every lap to win the combined ARCA Menards Series / ARCA Menards Series East General Tire 150.

The win was Queen’s fourth career ARCA Menards Series victory, which moves him into a tie for 84th-place on the all-time series win list with Curtis Turner, Jesse Baird, LaMarr Marshall, Bill Green, Bob Hill, Ben Hess, Mark Gibson, Kerry Earnhardt, Ryan Newman, Steven Wallace, Michael McDowell, Scott Speed, Andrew Ranger, Dalton Sargeant, Zane Smith, Sheldon Creed, and Nick Sanchez.

Queen is also the 133rd driver to win an ARCA Menards Series East race, and the 16th driver to do so in his first career series start.

Pinnacle Racing Group team owner Mark Webb has assumed the ARCA Menards Series owner points lead by 15 points over Joe Gibbs, owner of the Joe Gibbs Racing No. 18 team.

• Camden Murphy (No. 70 Dreamer Toyota) finished second in his first ARCA Menards Series start. “Monster Jam Cam”, as he is known in his day job as a Monster Truck driver, finished 7.130 seconds back to give Nitro Motorsports its third top-five finish of the season.

The team has won twice, with Treyton Lapcevich at Berlin Raceway and with Thomas Annunziata at Lime Rock Park.

• Isabella Robusto (No. 55 Mobil 1 Toyota) finished third, her second third-place finish of the ARCA Menards Series season.

In two career ARCA Menards Series East starts, Robusto has a second-place finish at Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway and 2024 and now a third-place finish at Dover in 2025.

• Isaac Kitzmiller (No. 79 A.L.L. Construction / Carter Cat Chevrolet) finished fourth in his ARCA Menards Series debut. Kitzmiller led the ARCA Menards Series East standings coming into the race, and added one point to his advantage over fifth-place finisher Tyler Reif (No. 23 Vegas Fastener / Sigma Performance Services Chevrolet).

Kitzmiller now leads by seven points with three races remaining.

Reif finished fifth despite limited practice time due to a stuck throttle and then a spin precipitated by a flat tire that resulted in slight damage to the right rear corner of his car. The team elected to skip qualifying to make repairs, dropping Reif to the tail of the field for the start.

• Timmy Hill (No. 56 Hill Motorsports Toyota) made his first appearance since a crash at Rockingham Speedway in April. His family-owned team built a new car in the time off and he was rewarded with a career-best sixth-place finish.

• Jake Finch (No. 25 Phoenix Toyota) finished seventh the day before he made his NASCAR Xfinity Series debut with Hendrick Motorsports; Finch qualified 21st and finished 17th in the BetRivers 200.

• Jason Kitzmiller (No. 97 A.L.L. Construction / Carter Cat Chevrolet) finished eighth, the final driver on the lead lap.

• Zachary Tinkle (No. 11 Racing for Rescues / Fast Track Racing Toyota) finished ninth to move into third in the ARCA Menards Series East championship standings. Tinkle has finished in the top 10 in all three career starts at Dover Motor Speedway; he was sixth in 2023 and 10th in 2024.

• Andrew Patterson (No. 40 Winsupply / SCS Gearbox Chevrolet) finished tenth, his second top-ten finish in two ARCA Menards Series starts in 2025; he finished sixth in his first series start at Charlotte Motor Speedway in May.

• Lavar Scott (No. 6 Max Siegel Inc. Chevrolet) and Lawless Alan (No. 20 AUTOParkIt Toyota) both made contact with the outside wall and lost laps making repairs. Scott lost seven laps recovered to finish eleventh, his first finish outside the top ten in 2025. Alan finished one position behind in 12th, three laps in arrears to Scott at the finish.

• Brent Crews (No. 18 JBL Toyota) was uninjured in a grinding crash on lap 44 when he cut a right front tire and made significant contact with the outside wall exiting turn four.

• The next race for the ARCA Menards Series and the ARCA Menards Series East is the LiUNA! 150 Presented by Dutch Boy Friday at Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park.
