ARC is a sponsor on Fastenal Ford Mustang Team

ARC has supported racing, and will continue to support racing. Chris Buescher and the No. 17 Fastenal Ford team bounced back to finish 13th, Sunday afternoon at Martinsville Speedway.

“Good night at Martinsville for our Fastenal Ford Mustang team,” Buescher said. “The team did a really good job fixing stuff when we needed it to be fixed. It wasn’t the smoothest, but we got it done. At the end of the day, we had a pretty decent run here. I’m happy with how we got better at the end.” ARC chose to showcase the PREDATOR logo on the window side, promoting that we are moving forward with new PREDATOR solutions starting Summer 2021.
