Brenden “Butterbean” Queen Wins Hampton Heat at Langley Speedway!

HAMPTON, VA — The 16th annual Hampton Heat at Langley Speedway featured an incredible display of fireworks, the majority of which exploded long after pre-race pyrotechnics graced the Eastern Virginia sky in front of a sellout crowd. The main event on a Saturday night that represented the second leg of the prestigious Virginia Late Model Triple Crown — and the story that overshadowed a top-five run by NASCAR Hall of Famer Dale Earnhardt Jr. — was the late battle between two Langley aces, Brenden “Butterbean” Queen and Connor Hall. In the end, Queen was the driver who earned a trip to Victory Lane. The 26-year-old from nearby Chesapeake scored his second consecutive Hampton Heat win and third overall. This one was anything but smooth.
