The Beginning With Bob Hill (1993-1996 with multiple drivers)
Clement started his team with Bob Hill by racing in one event, finishing fourth. Then in 1994, Hill got his first win for the team. Then in 1995, owner, Larry Clement decided to participate in his only two NASCAR events, while Hill raced in the other twenty-one races where he got another win, and Johnny Saathoff raced in one event. In 1996, Hill raced fourteen races, while Johnny Spaw would race once. Hill would get two more wins in the 1996 season. The team would suspend operations in the 1997 season.

The Frank Kimmel Era, With Extra Drivers (1998-2007)
In 1998, Hill was released and Clement hired the soon to be legendary, Frank Kimmel to drive the No. 46 for the 1998 season. Scott Heineman and Eric Jones also raced one event each. The 1998 was one of the most unexpected seasons in all of ARCA history, he would end up getting nine wins on his way to win the championship, his first for the team. In 1999, Kimmel would fall but not to much. He would end up coming in second overall in points to Bill Baird. For 2000, Eric Nale would race one event and Kimmel was back on top, winning six races, and winning his second championship for the team. In 2001, he continued showing his success by winning ten races. Jeff Caudell and Tony Stewart also raced one event with Stewart finishing second. Kimmel would go on to win his third championship for the team. In the 2002 season, Kimmel won another ten races and would go on to win a fourth championship for the team. In 2003, he would go on to win seven races before going on to winning a fifth championship, his fourth consecutive one. For the 2004 season, Kimmel would win six races before winning his sixth championship for the team. In 2005, he would win eight races on his way to his seventh championship. The next season, he won for races, but was on top by winning his eighth championship in 2006. In 2007, Kimmel only won three races before winning his ninth championship. He would leave the team, to start his own team, Kimmel Racing before winning his tenth personal championship in 2013 with ThorSport Racing and their No. 44.

The End With Matt Carter (2008-2009)
For the 2008 season, Matt Carter replaced Kimmel. He would win the last race for Clement in 2008. The 2009 season would be the last season in operation for Clement. Carter would race two last races for the team before it shut down after the 2009 Iowa race.
