In 2021, Vargas moved to a full-time schedule with JDM in the No. 6.^[9] Ahead of the Dover race in May, Vargas switched cars with JDM teammateLandon Cassill and moved to the No. 4; the swap was spurred as the No. 6 was 37th in owner points, which would have placed it too low to qualify for later races.^[10] He was replaced bySpencer Pumpelly for the following week's race atCircuit of the Americas, but returned the following week.^[11]

For 2022, Vargas was initially retained for a second full-time schedule with JDM in the No. 6.^[12] However, when the Portland entry list was revealed, it was shown that Vargas would instead be in the No. 47 forMike Harmon Racing.
