As the NASCAR Whelen Euro Series season nears its’ finale, Ryan Vargas has partnered with anyone.com for the remaining races in Belgium and Germany.
The partnership increases the resources that the La Mirada, Calif. native has entering the final two race weekends of NASCAR’s European season. Vargas has positioned himself third in the Junior Trophy championship race for series rookies. The 23-year-old sits inside the top-10 in the overall championship.
Much liking helping Vargas in his quest in EuroNASCAR, anyone.com is helping people in their quest to home ownership. The company, which joins Critical Path Security on the No. 30 3F Racing Chevrolet, is promoting more home ownership in Europe as the housing crisis affects many worldwide.
“We’ve locked in a new sponsor for the full for the remainder of the NASCAR Whelen Euro Series, anyone.com,” Vargas said. “The Anyone mortgage model is basically the main effort of it is to promote affordability and better opportunities for home ownership. Obviously, the housing crisis affects many all over the world and in Europe, it’s no different. So, with the Anyone mortgage model they’re working to better promote more home ownership for those who need that help.”
For the first time this season, Vargas is returning to tracks that he’s competed at in the past. The NASCAR Drive for Diversity alum competed at both Motorsport Arena Oschersleben and Circuit Zolder last season. That experience allows Vargas to get up to speed faster instead of having to learn a new course.
The NASCAR NEXT alum scored top-10 finishes in both of the races at Oschersleben last year. Vargas finished 15th and 11th in the two races at Zolder. With both race weekends being double points weekends, Vargas is still mathematically eligible for the championship.
“With them jumping aboard, it’s going to help us out immensely, making sure that we have the resources we need to make a strong charge for these final few races,” Vargas explained. “For the first time all season I’m going to tracks that I’ve actually seen before. That is great because last year I raced at both Oschersleben and Zolder. Now with us heading to these races and having the opportunity to build on notes that we have, it’s definitely going to help us out in that stance.”
The first of the final four races of the season is at Oschersleben on September 21. All EuroNASCAR races are streamed live on the series’ YouTube channel.
