Queen Rules ARCA at Michigan
(BROOKLYN, MI – JUNE 6, 2025 – RIS) Brenden “Butterbean” Queen led 66 of the 100 laps to win the Henry Ford Health 200. After starting from the pole, he led the early laps and then fell back a couple of spots before racing back to the lead, holding off a charging Corey Heim over the final laps of the race.
Second-place qualifier Isabella Robusto fell back to finish ninth as the top rookie besides Queen, with fellow rookie Eloy Falcon took tenth place.
In practice and qualifying, Brenden Queen, winner of both Daytona and Kansas this year, took top honors in both sessions. Isabella Robusto qualified second for the race, just 0.033 second behind Queen. Corey Heim substituted for an ailing Jake Finch and qualified third. Thad Moffitt and Gio Ruggiero rounded out the top five on the race starting grid.
