$50M worth Kelley Earnhardt lauds Brenden ‘Butterbean’ Queen for “huge” Daytona ARCA win

Kelley Earnhardt Miller, co-owner of Jr. Motorsports with her brother, Dale Earnhardt Jr., took to social media on Saturday to congratulate Brenden ‘Butterbean’ Queen on scoring his first career ARCA Menards Series win at Daytona this past weekend. It was Queen's second career start in the series as he wheeled the #28 Pinnacle Racing Group Chevrolet to victory at the Ride the 'Dente 200.

In honor of his first career victory, Queen stopped by to eat at Waffle House and posed with a group of friends for a picture. Queen posted the photo to X, writing:

"You know we made it to the @WaffleHouse"

The post garnered many comments from those who wanted to congratulate Queen on his monumental win. One of them was $50M worth (as per Celebrity Net Worth) Earnhardt Miller, who penned a message on X that read:

"Congrats on the win! That’s huge."

Queen, a 27-year-old driver out of Chesapeake, Virginia, started fifth in Saturday's race and led 10 laps en route to victory. He held off Joe Gibbs Racing development driver William Sawalich, who finished second, followed by Jason Kitzmiller in third place, Lavar Scott in fourth place, and four-time Indianapolis 500 winner Helio Castroneves in fifth place.

Queen made three appearances last season in the NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series behind the wheel of the #1 truck. His best finish came in his debut at North Wilkesboro Speedway as he scored a fourth-place finish.

Earnhardt Miller, meanwhile, had a big-time week at Daytona as well. Jr. Motorsports made its Cup Series debut in this year's Daytona 500 with Justin Allgaier wheeling the #40 Chevrolet to a ninth-place finish. He qualified for the Daytona 500 amid the Duels at Daytona as Jr. Motorsports entered as a non-charter team.
