I’m excited to share with you guys that, after our STRONG performance at Pocono, I’ll be returning to the #15 JD Motorsports Chevy at @kansasspeedway!

Blessed for the opportunity to get back behind the wheel & prove ourselves once again.

Vargas, the 19-year old from La Mirada, California, has been on the hunt for sponsorship since the conclusion on last season, in hopes of having the financial backing necessary, to get him a myriad of seat time in a NASCAR Xfinity Series car in 2020. Last week, Vargas announced that he had signed a multi-race agreement to drive for JD Motorsports in the NASCAR Xfinity Series, beginning at Pocono Raceway. Vargas finish thirteenth at Pocono, a career-best in four career NASCAR Xfinity Series starts.
