In 2021, Pérez de Lara would run the full season in the NASCAR FedEx Challenge Series after running one race at Nuevo Autódromo de Quéretaro in the previous year. He would finish fourth in the points that year, finishing in the top five in eight races.

In 2022, Pérez de Lara would return to the series, where he would become the youngest winner in the series at Querétaro Race Track at the age of seventeen on route to win the championship.[3] It was also during this year that Pérez de Lara was chosen for the NASCAR Drive for Diversity program, and he would also make select events in the ARCA Menards Series, ARCA Menards Series East and ARCA Menards Series West driving for David Gilliland Racing.[4]

In 2024, Pérez de Lara continued to pilot the No. 2 Chevrolet for Rev Racing full-time in the ARCA Menards Series. After crashing out in the season-opener at Daytona, Pérez de Lara would run consistently well through the remainder of the season, accumulating ten Top 5s and seventeen Top 10s.
