After progressing through karting, Bandoleros, and Legends cars, Ballos has established himself as a disciplined, high-upside competitor in late model competition.

In early 2026, he captured his first major victory in the NASCAR Local Racing Series at Tri-County Speedway, charging back to the lead in the closing laps after a late restart and sealing the win with a decisive pass.
