Brenden Queen is preparing for his comeback in the NASCAR Truck Series at the July 25 race held at Indianapolis Raceway Park. Queen will drive the No. 07 Chevrolet Silverado for Spire Motorsports, marking his fourth career start in the Truck Series and his first since last September’s event at Kansas Speedway. His decision to return comes after an impressive fourth-place finish at North Wilkesboro Speedway earlier this year, his career best so far.
Queen’s Rising Momentum in ARCA This Season
At 27 years old, Queen is currently competing full time in the ARCA Menards Series with Pinnacle Racing Group. In his debut full-time season, he has already secured three wins at prominent tracks including Daytona International Speedway, Kansas, and Michigan International Speedway. Queen leads the ARCA points standings by nine points over rival Lawless Alan, underlining his strong performance throughout the ongoing campaign.
Before entering ARCA, Queen made significant strides in the CARS Late Model Stock Car Tour, finishing second in 2023 with Lee Pulliam Performance and capturing the championship title in 2024. This steady progression highlights his growth as a consistent and competitive driver across different racing series.
Support and Confidence from Team and Sponsors
Queen expressed gratitude for the renewed opportunity in the Truck Series, emphasizing the importance of his partnership with Best Repair Company, a key sponsor. He recalled the uncertainty he faced while working at the Port of Virginia before racing prospects materialized.
“I’m very blessed for the opportunity to get back in the CRAFTSMAN Truck Series with Spire Motorsports and Chevrolet,”
Queen said.
“Having Best Repair Company be a part of this means a lot to me because they took a chance on me when I was working at the Port of Virginia and not sure if I would get to continue racing. It is really neat to see how far we have come in the last couple of years and hopefully, this is the first of many more CRAFTSMAN Truck Series starts.”

Allen Hart, Queen’s crew chief, also shared his excitement about working together again, mentioning recent improvements in their simulation work and confidence heading to Indianapolis.
“I’m really looking forward to working with Brenden,”
Hart said.
“We have made some gains in the simulator over the past few weeks, so I feel confident as we head to IRP. He has been a blast to work with, so we will definitely carry that enthusiasm into the race.”

The No. 07 truck Queen will drive has a winning history this season, with Kyle Larson claiming victory at Homestead-Miami Speedway in the same vehicle earlier in the year, adding to the team’s competitive pedigree.
