Pro Stock Motorcycle rider Kelly Clontz will debut new backing from ArchKey Solutions this weekend as she competes at the NHRA Midwest Nationals at World Wide Technology Raceway. The partnership places one of the country’s largest electrical and technology contractors on her Vance & Hines Motorsports Gen 3 Suzuki Hayabusa.
Clontz, who co-owns her team with husband Chris, is seeking her first career win as the Countdown to the Championship heads into its third event. She also serves as Director of Estimating for ArchKey Solutions’ East Region and will host company guests while carrying the brand on her 200-mph entry.
“I am excited to be representing ArchKey Solutions in St. Louis, especially since they are celebrating 100 years of excellence,” Clontz said. “I have worked for ArchKey for eight years, and it is an amazing company that I am proud to be a part of. The NHRA Countdown playoff races are high energy, and World Wide Technology Raceway is an incredible facility. We are looking forward to showing ArchKey Solutions how much of an impact NHRA drag racing can have as a fan experience and as a recruiting tool for future employees.”
ArchKey Solutions is celebrating its centennial in 2025 while continuing to rank among the nation’s top electrical and technology contractors. With more than $1.5 billion in revenue last year, the company has expanded from a regional operation in 1925 into a national industry leader. Its alignment with Clontz’s Steamfitter UA Local 602 team reflects both the trades and ArchKey’s emphasis on empowering professionals across the country.
Company leadership emphasized the significance of the partnership. “We’re incredibly proud to support Kelly in her pursuit of excellence both in her career and on the racetrack,” said Steven Stone, ArchKey Solutions CEO. “Her drive, discipline, and commitment to performance embody the values we stand for as an organization. This partnership is a powerful way to showcase the strength of our people and the pride we have in the trades.”
Throughout the Midwest Nationals, Clontz will highlight ArchKey branding through fan engagement appearances at the NHRA Manufacturer’s Midway, autograph sessions at her pit, and her on-track performance against some of the toughest competition in drag racing. The Pro Stock Motorcycle class is one of NHRA’s most competitive categories, where races are often decided by thousandths of a second and reaction time, strength, and concentration are vital.
Clontz said she sees strong parallels between her race program and her professional career. “There is a considerable amount of overlap when you look at what we are doing on my motorcycle in the pits and on the track with what ArchKey has done over the past 100 years to build their company and people,” she said. “We both need complete attention to every detail, and we also must constantly be looking to improve. We are always looking for ways to make our motorcycle quicker and faster from track to track across the country. ArchKey has built one of the nation’s leading electrical and technology companies by investing in its people and delivering scalable solutions across industries from coast to coast.”
