Behind the Wheel with Rico Abreu

Where Welding Meets Winning

At Arc-Zone, we know excellence takes more than talent — it takes focus, discipline, and the right tools. That’s why we teamed up with sprint car racer Rico Abreu.

On the track, Rico brings the same mindset welders bring to the shop: prepare, stay sharp, and execute with precision. Racing and welding both demand grit, safety, and consistency — because cutting corners means failure.

This partnership is about more than a logo on a car. It’s about proving that with the right process and the right gear, you can push limits and perform at the highest level — whether you’re racing for a championship or welding for perfection.

A Champion’s Process

Rico Abreu’s path to the national stage has been anything but easy. From his earliest laps on local dirt tracks to becoming a fan favorite across the country, Rico built his career the same way a welder builds a reputation — through hard work, repetition, and a proven process. Today, he’s one of the most respected names in sprint car racing, known for his precision behind the wheel and his relentless drive to improve.

Racing with the Best

In 2026, Rico’s career will take another leap forward as he joins Tony Stewart Racing (TSR), piloting the No. 24 sprint car in the Kubota High Limit Racing Series. Competing under the banner of one of the most legendary teams in motorsports is a testament to Rico’s skill, discipline, and reputation. Just as welders rely on trusted gear to reach the next level, Rico’s alignment with TSR shows that preparation and excellence open doors to the biggest opportunities.

Beyond the Track

Rico’s impact doesn’t end at the finish line. Off the track, he supports the Jaxon’s Superheroes Foundation, a Non-Profit Organization designed to assist children and families affected by neuromuscular diseases. Rico uses his platform to make a difference where it matters most. That same commitment to lifting others up is what drives Arc-Zone to support welders, fabricators, and shops across the world.

Driven by Detail. Built to Win

Our partnership with Rico Abreu isn’t about putting a logo on a car — it’s about shared philosophy. Sprint car racing demands the same qualities that define world-class welding: preparation, safety, attention to detail, and the refusal to cut corners. Welders know that every bead tells a story. Racers know that every lap is earned. In both worlds, process equals performance.
