Daytona International Speedway

2025 Review

Fans at Daytona International Speedway were introduced to ‘Butterbean’ on a warm, Saturday afternoon during the Ride the ‘Dente 200. Queen maintained patience through a chaotic, caution-filled outing before passing Lavar Scott with less than 10 laps remaining to prevail in his first appearance with Pinnacle Racing Group.

Emotions were aplenty for Queen as he pulled his No. 28 bestrepair.net Chevrolet into Daytona’s iconic Victory Lane. Every step towards Saturday’s triumph for Queen was a battle to survive and prove he belonged on the national stage.

“It’s a lot of never give up,” Queen said. “I’ve never had money. We did what we could, grinded and grinded. Trust the process is the motto I’ve had the past two years. My story is one of those eyeball ones of a lottery ticket. I’m fighting for my career. I have nothing guaranteed for next year, so hopefully this is a good start.”

Daytona International Speedway Map
The 2.5-mile, high-banked tri-oval at Daytona International Speedway is one of the most iconic venues in all of motorsports. With 31 degrees of banking in the turns and a long 3,000-foot frontstretch, the track is built for speed and pack racing. Drafting is essential here, as cars run inches apart in tight groups at over 180 mph. The ARCA Menards Series opens its season at Daytona each February, where drivers balance patience and aggression to survive the closing laps. History shows that one small mistake in the draft can trigger multi-car incidents, making the ability to stay calm under pressure as important as outright speed.
