This past weekend marked a milestone for our Critical Path Security #30 team, as Ryan Vargas claimed his first-ever win in the Junior Category during the NASCAR GP Germany at Motorsport Arena Oschersleben. The American driver showcased impressive speed and consistency, propelling him to a P6 overall finish and securing the top spot in the Junior Trophy standings.
For Ryan, the weekend was a culmination of hard work and a testament to his growing experience on the European circuit. “This weekend was a statement weekend for our CPS #30 team,” Ryan said. “I knew we had an opportunity for a strong showing when we arrived in Oschersleben, as it was a track I’ve previously visited. For the first time all year, I was able to focus on speed and less on learning a line. We showed speed all weekend running well within the Top-10 and knocking on the door of that Top-5.”
Ryan’s victory in the Junior Trophy came after a fiercely competitive race where mistakes from rivals Paul Jouffreau and Liam Hezemans gave him the chance to capitalize. His P6 finish not only secured his maiden Junior Trophy win but also placed him among the top contenders for the overall trophy as the season draws closer to its finale.
“This was incredibly special, and it meant even more having the CPS team and my family in attendance,” Ryan added.
With two more double-points races left in Belgium, the competition remains tight, but Ryan’s determination and focus are sure to keep him in the hunt for the overall title. We’re proud to support him on this journey and look forward to the next exciting chapter in the EURONASCAR PRO playoffs.
Make sure to tune in to the upcoming races at Circuit Zolder, where Ryan will continue his push toward the top. You can catch all the action live on EuroNASCAR’s YouTube channel or several TV networks across the globe.
Stay tuned for more updates and let’s keep pushing forward with Ryan Vargas and Critical Path Security!
