Spire Motorsports<\/a> are set to field a new driver this weekend as NASCAR <\/a>hits Indianapolis. <\/p>\n

\nAll three national NASCAR series will be in action in the city over this coming weekend; however, things will be split across Indianapolis Motor Speedway and Indianapolis Raceway Park. <\/p>\n

\nThe Cup and Xfinity Series will be in action at the former from Friday through Sunday, with the Truck Series and ARCA set to race at the latter on Friday only. <\/p>\n

\nThat Friday certainly looks like it’s set to be a busy day for Brenden ‘Butterbean’ McQueen, with Spire Motorsports having announced that the full-time ARCA driver will be racing in their No. 07 Chevrolet at Indianapolis Raceway Park. <\/p>\n

\nThe 27-year-old has four wins in the ARCA Menards Series so far this season and will be making just his fourth appearance in the Truck Series, with his last NASCAR outing having come at Kansas in 2024. <\/p>\n

Brenden Queen set for NASCAR appearance in Indianapolis<\/p>\n

\nSpeaking in the official statement that confirmed his appearance in the No. 07, Queen revealed that he is grateful for the opportunity, and keen for more further down the line. <\/p>\n

\n\u201cI\u2019m very blessed for the opportunity to get back in the Truck Series with Spire Motorsports and Chevrolet,\u201d Queen explained. <\/p>\n

\n\u201cHaving 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. <\/p>\n

\n“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.\u201d <\/p>\n

\nAlso speaking in the official statement, the crew chief of the No. 07, Allen Hart, revealed that Queen had been putting in the work on the simulator in the build-up to the race and that he had been a ‘blast’ to work with. <\/p>\n

\n\u201cWe have made some gains in the simulator over the past few weeks, so I feel confident as we head to IRP. <\/p>\n

\n“He has been a blast to work with, so we will carry that enthusiasm into the race.” <\/p>\n
