Racing career

Early career

2012–2014

Vargas started racing in 2012, running Bandolero cars at Irwindale Speedway.[2]

2015

He later moved up to Super Stock and super late model racing in 2015.[2]

2019

After competing full-time in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East in 2018, Vargas returned to Irwindale Speedway for a full season of Super Late Model racing in 2019 for friend Alec Martinez out West while also running Late Model Stock Car races in the East for Lee Faulk Racing.[3]

K&N Pro Series East

2018

In 2018, Vargas signed with Rev Racing for a full season in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East. After starting the season with finishes outside of the top ten, he finished ninth at Langley.[4] The following round at South Boston Speedway, he crashed out after being collected in a wreck with Anthony Alfredo and Dillon Bassett on lap 22.[5] Vargas ended the season sixth in points with six top tens.[4] He did not return to Rev Racing in 2019.[6]

Xfinity Series

2019

In July 2019, Vargas made his debut in the NASCAR Xfinity Series at Iowa Speedway for JD Motorsports.[7]

2020

He returned to the series and JD Motorsports in June 2020 on a multi-race deal.[8] Six more races were added to Vargas' schedule in September when he picked up a six-race sponsorship from the popular social networking service TikTok.[9]

2021

In 2021, Vargas moved to a full-time schedule with JDM in the No. 6.[10] Ahead of the Dover race in May, Vargas switched cars with JDM teammate Landon Cassill and moved to the No. 4; the swap was spurred as the No. 6 was 37th in owner points, which would have placed it too low to qualify for later races.[11] He was replaced by Spencer Pumpelly for the following week's race at Circuit of the Americas, but returned the following week.[12]

Personal life

Vargas was born with craniosynostosis.[13] He attended La Mirada High School.[2]
