DOVER, Del. — Brenden Queen continues his stomp on the ARCA Menards Series field as he led all of the 150 laps in Friday’s General Tire 150 at Dover Motor Speedway, claiming his fourth win in the first 10 races of the 2025 campaign.

The victory marks the first time Queen has won on a track shorter than 1.5 miles in his young ARCA career, as his previous wins at Daytona, Kansas, and Michigan have hoisted the 28-year-old rookie atop the points standings for the majority of the season.

“This team is so bad to the bone, I thought it was over, I thought something broke there,” Queen told FOX Sports. “That was a bad to the bone racecar.” “I told [my team] I wanted a Monster to take back to Hampton for the Hampton Heat tomorrow night. That bad boy is going on a road trip tonight.”

After Queen began the day with the pole award on early Friday afternoon, the series points leader never looked back as he and Joe Gibbs racing standout Brent Crews separated themselves to almost a 15-second lead over the rest of the field for the opening 45 laps before Crews cut a tire, sending his No. 18 JBL Toyota Camry into flames, falling out of contention.

After the issues were resolved, Queen performed flawlessly for the final 100 laps of the event, despite having to deal with two additional cautions from Corey Aiken spinning out in Turn 2 on Lap 92 and the second scheduled break, no one was able to get around Queen as he coasted to his fourth win of 2025.

Behind Queen, Camden Murphy crossed the finish line in second place, marking his ARCA debut and his first stock car start since late 2022. Isabella Robusto finished third, achieving her fifth consecutive top-10 finish.

“It’s been a full circle moment,” Murphy told The Podium Finish. “I’m beyond thankful for Nitro Motorsports and J. Cole for giving me this opportunity to run at a place like this for the first time in a while.”

The rest of the top five was comprised of both ARCA East competitors vying for the points title. Isaac Kitzmiller made his ARCA national debut in fourth place, followed by Tyler Reif in fifth. Kitzmiller increased his lead over Reif by an additional point as they head into the final three events of the season.

The remaining top 10 consisted of Timmy Hill in sixth, Jake Finch in seventh, Jason Kitzmiller in eighth, Zachary Tinkle in ninth, and Andrew Patterson rounding out the top 10.

The series rolls onto Brickyard 400 weekend in the Indianapolis area, as they will share the Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park with the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series on Friday, July 25.

Coverage of the event will air live at 5:30 p.m. ET on FS1 on July 25, with radio coverage exclusively provided by the Motor Racing Network, ARCARacing.com, and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio, channel 90.
