explained<\/a> to Kickin\u2019 the Tires.<\/p>\n\u201cI think it\u2019s an important application to access, not just as a tool to get better behind the wheel, but as a tool to interact with other racers or fans. That\u2019s been a cool thing. I\u2019ve been able to do a lot of these races, these iRacing deals. I\u2019ve met so many really, really cool people, and I probably would have never met them had I not been on iRacing.\u201d And it got him rides in NASCAR and sponsors.<\/p>\n
Bringing In Pieces of NASCAR <\/p>\n
Most notably, Ryan Vargas had part-time stints in trucks and then full-time in Xfinity with JDM, but it was here that he encountered trouble. He had flashes of brilliance, like top tens in trucks and Xfinity at Texas and a career high of 6th at Daytona with JDM, but he was never able to put it together for a full season. Never even finishing in the top 25 in the Xfinity points on a team, Chastain made the playoffs, but he was beaten by teammates like Jeffrey Earnhardt, Cassill, and Currey.<\/p>\n
He tried to revive his career in EuroNASCAR, but he struggled to adapt to the road courses across Europe. Never even earning a top 5 in either the 1st or 2nd division series. But Ryan Vargas, the passionate man he is, decided to pursue another passion of his, and that\u2019s where he finds himself today.<\/p>\n
Will More Drivers Follow Vargas\u2019 Lead? <\/p>\n
As I mentioned, Ryan Vargas\u2019s debut triumph has brought the Monster Jam tour its most engagement and attention in a while. Much like NASCAR, Monster Jam has been struggling to regain its 2000s peak for several reasons and has yet to climb back up. So, if they can\u2019t make new stars, then take ones from other motorsports.<\/p>\n
NASCAR, along with F1 and IndyCar, boasts numerous drivers with substantial social media followings or very dedicated cult followings that would follow them to Monster Jam. So, if you see ex-NASCAR drivers or drivers from other motorsport disciplines coming to Monster Jam now, you know Ryan Vargas is why! Thanks a bunch for reading!<\/p>\n
