ST. LOUIS – During the NAPA Auto Parts NHRA Midwest Nationals, the third race of the NHRA Countdown, Kelly Clontz and the ArchKey Solutions Suzuki showed they have a consistent team against championship caliber competition. Clontz is not in championship contention, but the team’s racing attitude and determination was on full display through two days of tough qualifying and on race day today. Clontz made four solid runs all in the mid to low 6.80s during qualifying to head into race day as the No. 9 qualifier in a very solid 15 motorcycle field.

“I was really confident after our four runs in qualifying because we were continuing to make positive strides from the Charlotte race,” said Clontz, who owns her team with her husband Chris. “This class is so competitive and we aren’t out here every race. To be able to run with the full-time teams is a testament to Vance and Hines and my husband Chris.”

Before the race Clontz announced that ArchKey Solutions would be the primary sponsor joining Steamfitters UA Local 602 on her Suzuki Hayabusa. Clontz, the Director of Estimating for ArchKey Solutions’ East Region, hosted guests throughout the weekend introducing them to the 200-mph racing universe of NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycle.
