TOLEDO, Ohio — Brenden “Butterbean” Queen collected his third ARCA Menards Series win of the season in Friday’s Henry Ford Health 200 at Michigan International Speedway.
Queen earned the General Tire Pole Award in qualifying and led 65 of the race’s 100 laps en route to the victory aboard the No. 28 Pinnacle Racing Group Chevrolet.
Queen leads Lavar Scott in the ARCA Menards Series championship standings by six points, 287-281, heading into Saturday’s race at Michigan’s Berlin Raceway.
• Corey Heim (No. 25 Phoenix Toyota) was a last-minute substitute for Jake Finch and drove to a second-place finish in his first series start since he won at Kansas Speedway in 2022. Heim led 29 laps but finished 18th in Saturday’s NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race after being swept into a late-race restart crash.
• Lawless Alan (No. 20 AUTOChargeIt Toyota) finished third, his fourth top-five finish of the season.
• Gio Ruggiero (No. 18 First Auto Group Toyota) made his first start of the season and led 35 laps on his way to a fourth-place finish. Ruggiero also competed in Saturday’s Truck Series race; he was involved in the same restart crash that Heim was in and finished 12th.
• Lavar Scott (No. 6 Max Siegel Inc. Chevrolet) finished fifth for the third time in 2025. He also finished fifth at Phoenix Raceway and Kansas Speedway.
Scott has finished no worse than sixth in the sixth ARCA Menards Series races in 2025 and has a series-leading 4.67 average finish.
• Thad Moffitt (No. 46 Induction Innovations Toyota) finished sixth, his fourth top-ten finish of the season and his third top-ten finish in three starts at Michigan. He finished ninth in 2020 and eighth in 2021.
• Tyler Reif (No. 23 Vegas Fastener / Sigma Performance Services Chevrolet) finished seventh in his first start on an oval track longer than one mile in length.
Reif turned 18 the day before the race, making the 2023 Phoenix winner eligible to compete on tracks longer than a mile.
• Jason Kitzmiller (No. 97 A.L.L. Construction Chevrolet) scored his fourth top-ten finish of the season in eighth.
• Isabella Robusto (No. 55 Yahoo Toyota) qualified second, missing her second career General Tire Pole Award by just 0.033 seconds.
Robusto finished ninth to score her second top-10 of the season and first since she finished third at Talladega Superspeedway in April.
• Eloy Falcon (No. 2 Max Siegel Inc. Chevrolet) finished tenth in his ARCA Menards Series debut. Fellow Mexico City native Regina Sirvent (No. 68 Por Amor A Puebla Ford) also made her ARCA Menards Series debut, finishing in the 14th position.
Both are expected to compete in this weekend’s NASCAR Mexico Series events at Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez in conjunction with the NASCAR Cup and Xfinity Series.
• Andy Jankowiak (No. 73 Acacia Energy / DAKS Markets Toyota) finished 14th after fuel pressure issues forced an unscheduled pit stop just before the race’s first caution flag.
