Ryan Vargas, a competitor in the NASCAR Xfinity and Craftsman Truck Series since 2019, is set to embark on a unique journey in 2024, taking on a full-time campaign in the NASCAR Whelen Euro Series with 3F Racing.
The 23-year-old racer, who serves as Director of Team and Driver Development for the perspective NASCAR Cup Series team, will get behind the wheel of the No. 30 Chevrolet Camaro in the EuroNASCAR Pro Division, which will contest a 13-race schedule across seven different race weekends and venues.
Critical Path Security will serve as the primary marketing partner of the 3F Racing effort for the upcoming season, as the company continues its long-standing relationship with driver Ryan Vargas for 2024.

CoPilot AI Inc. will serve as an associate partner for 3F Racing and Vargas throughout the 2024 NASCAR Whelen Euro Series campaign, solidifying the team’s position on the track.
Last season, Vargas and 3F Racing had a pair of successful race weekends together in the NASCAR Whelen Euro Series, competing in the final two weekends of the season at Motorsport Arena Oschersleben in Germany and Circuit Zolder in Belgium. Across those four races, the La Mirada, California picked up a pair of 10th-place finishes.
It was those strong results on debut that inspired both Vargas and the team to expand their presence in the NASCAR Whelen Euro Series, upgrading the program to a full-blown effort in 2024.
In addition to the organization’s EuroNASCAR Pro effort for Ryan Vargas, 3F Racing will also be bringing some American flare to the EuroNASCAR 2 Division, with the addition of ‘guest drivers’ – hailing from the NASCAR Xfinity Series and NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series – to bring some influence from the United States to the series.
Further announcements regarding the identities of said guest starters for the EuroNASCAR 2 Division will be announced at a later date, but promise to bring fans an intriguing season that not only celebrates the spirit of racing but also fosters a meaningful cultural exchange, deepening the connection between Europe and the United States of America.
The EuroNASCAR Pro Division will begin its 2024 season on April 13 and 14 at Circuit Ricardo Tormo in Spain, including 12 road course events, as well as a singular event on an oval, which will take place June 30 at Raceway Venray in The Netherlands.
