After a successful debut in the NASCAR Whelen Euro Series in Oschersleben, Germany, Ryan Vargas and 3F Racing are returning to the series for even more, contesting the season-finale in Zolder, Belgium on October 13 – 15.

Vargas, a part-time driver in both the NASCAR Xfinity Series and NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, was able to score a pair of top-10 results on debut in the NASCAR Whelen Euro Series, finishing 10th in both events.

?WE’RE SO BACK?

After a wild and exciting debut weekend in Germany, I’m headed back to the @EuroNASCAR series for their finale in Zolder, Belgium!?

Very thankful for the opportunity from @3fRacing & for @CriticalPathSec for continuing to believe in me & support!

“My time over in Germany was an absolute blast,” said Vargas. “The cars are nimble and can really be tossed around the corners. With less power than what I’m used to, you’re able to drive a lot more aggressively and have the freedom to find new ways around the cars in front of you.”

Critical Path Security, a loyal supporter of Vargas’ racing efforts on an international basis, will once again serve as the primary partner of the No. 30 Chevrolet Camaro for 3F Racing in the NASCAR Whelen Euro Series finale.

“The Euro Series platform is one that I’ve really come to love; everyone in the series is super supportive and raced me with a lot of aggression, yet a lot of respect,” Vargas continued. “To go across the pond and snap two top-10 results for 3F Racing and Critical Path Security was super special, and I hope to take this weekend at Zolder and work on improving myself and growing since Germany.”

The 23-year-old driver is a veteran of 74 NASCAR National Series starts – primarily in the NASCAR Xfinity Series – where he’s scored a career total of three top-10 finishes, with a career-best sixth-place run coming at Daytona International Speedway in Summer 2022.

Both events on Saturday, October 14th, and Sunday, October 15th will be live-streamed to the NASCAR Whelen Euro Series’ YouTube channel. For more information on the event, stay tuned to 3F Racing and Ryan Vargas’ social media channels.
