Get ready for a thrilling NASCAR announcement that's shaking up the racing world! Kaulig Racing has just unveiled their first driver for the 2026 Truck Series, and it's none other than the reigning ARCA champion, Brenden 'Butterbean' Queen.
But here's the twist: Queen will be backed by RAM, making this a powerful collaboration. Kaulig Racing is thrilled to welcome Queen as the initial driver of their RAM-sponsored Truck Series lineup, with four more drivers yet to be announced.
'I'm incredibly grateful for this opportunity,' shared Queen, reflecting on his journey from a short-track racer to a championship contender. 'It's a dream come true, and I'm ready to give it my all with RAM and Kaulig Racing. We're aiming high, aiming for victories and championships.'
Queen's impressive resume includes eight wins and 17 top-five finishes in the 2025 ARCA Menards Series, solidifying his championship title. He also showcased his talent in the Xfinity Series, finishing ninth and leading laps at Kansas. Kaulig Racing is confident in Queen's abilities, as CEO Chris Rice praised his local and ARCA championship successes.
And this is the part most people miss—Queen's impact extends beyond the track. His story inspires young racers, proving that hard work and dedication can lead to incredible opportunities. But will he live up to the hype in the Truck Series? Only time will tell.
Stay tuned for more updates on Queen's truck number and sponsors. This is just the beginning of what promises to be an exciting journey. What do you think about this unexpected partnership? Is Queen the right choice for Kaulig Racing's Truck Series ambitions? Share your thoughts below!
