🇺🇸 Ryan Vargas

Ryan Vargas is an American stock car racing driver whose career developed through the NASCAR regional and touring ranks before reaching national series competition. He gained experience in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East, the ARCA Menards Series West, the NASCAR Whelen Euro Series, and the NASCAR Canada Series, building a foundation that eventually led him to the NASCAR Xfinity Series, the level at which his listed record here is based. He has also competed in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series and continues to race part-time in the ARCA Menards Series.[1]

Across his time in the NASCAR Xfinity Series, Vargas made 78 career starts without recording a win or a podium finish, and he did not claim a series championship. His current Racer Rating stands at 2,632, placing him 1,469th among active drivers on a scale where the world's elite reach figures in the 10,000 to 11,500 range, reflecting a career spent largely outside the sport's top competitive tier. In the 2026 season, he competed in four rounds without a win or podium, finishing 48th in the standings. His status is now listed as retired, closing out a career built primarily on the NASCAR regional development pathway and sustained Xfinity Series participation.[2]
