Arc-Zone founder Jim Watson, a lifelong motorsports enthusiast, saw a natural connection between welding and racing.
“We’re the premier supplier of welding tools and equipment,” Jim explains. “Whether it’s tungsten grinders, purge gas systems, or safety gear—our products are designed for professionals who take pride in their craft.”
When Jim met Rico through veteran racer Jack Haudenschild, the relationship quickly grew into a genuine collaboration built on shared values. Rico recognized Arc-Zone’s commitment to quality fabrication tools—the same commitment his race team brings to maintaining the precision-built #24 sprint car.
“Jim assists our race team by supplying us with the best quality products when it comes to fabrication in the race shop,” says Rico Abreu. “What we do as a team and how we present ourselves really connected with him.”
Racing Highlights: Redemption and Momentum
Rico’s 2025 season has been one for the books. In a thrilling redemption run at Eldora Speedway’s 4-Crown Nationals, Abreu battled Aaron Reutzel for the win—taking the checkered flag and earning his 11th High Limit Racing victory of the season and 18th overall.
That victory also marked his 13th career Eldora win, tying him among the all-time greats.
With only a handful of races left, Rico leads the Kubota High Limit Racing Driver Championship by 72 points and the Owner Championship by 28, positioning the RAR crew for their first national title.
“Even the smallest donations can make a big impact,” says Rico. “This program shines a light on organizations that truly deserve it.”
