In a tweet on Tuesday Afternoon, Ryan Vargas announced that he would be returning to the NASCAR Xfinity Series driving for JD Motorsports at Kansas Speedway on July 25th. Much like Pocono, Vargas will drive the team’s No. 15 Chevrolet Camaro in his first ever start at Kansas Speedway.
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.
