RSS Racing Overview
RSS Racing, also known as Ryan Scott Sieg Racing or Ryan Shane Sieg Racing, is an American professional stock car racing team that competes primarily in the NASCAR Xfinity Series, formerly known as the O’Reilly Auto Parts Series. Founded in 2009 and based in Sugar Hill, Georgia, the team is owned by Rod Sieg and Pamela Sieg. RSS Racing fields multiple Chevrolet vehicles, including the No. 28 full-time driven by Kyle Sieg, the No. 39 full-time for Ryan Sieg, and a part-time No. 29 entry for multiple drivers. The organization has established technical alliances with the Haas Factory Team and maintains partnerships with various equipment suppliers. Although the team has not secured any drivers’ championships across its competitive history, RSS Racing achieved its first race victory with driver Aric Almirola in 2023 at Sonoma Raceway.
Founding and Organizational Origins
RSS Racing was established in 2009 by Rod Sieg and Pamela Sieg, creating a family-owned operation in the American stock car racing industry. The organization began its competitive journey in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, making its debut at the Copart 200 in Milwaukee during 2009. The initial focus on Truck Series competition allowed the team to develop operational infrastructure and gain experience in professional motorsports before expanding into higher-tier series.
The team’s early years involved building relationships with established racing organizations and acquiring competitive equipment. RSS Racing purchased rolling chassis from Kevin Harvick Incorporated following that operation’s establishment, and utilized engines from various suppliers including Pro Motor Engines from 2013 to 2018. This period of development and partnership building laid the foundation for the team’s eventual expansion into the NASCAR Xfinity Series, where it would establish itself as a consistent competitor.
Growth Into NASCAR Xfinity Series Competition
The organization made its entry into the NASCAR Xfinity Series in 2013, debuting at the Indiana 250 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The No. 39 entry, piloted by Ryan Sieg, represented the team’s first presence in the series. That inaugural season saw Ryan Sieg compete in three races, finishing 24th at Indianapolis, 21st at Kansas, and withdrawing at Atlanta. This marked the beginning of what would become a long-term commitment to Xfinity Series competition.
Ryan Sieg emerged as the primary driver for the No. 39 car, returning for full-time competition in subsequent seasons. His early performances showed promise, including a ninth-place finish at Daytona in 2014 and a breakthrough third-place finish at Daytona in 2015, which represented the team’s first top-five result in the series. The team continued to develop its technical partnerships, signing a new deal with ECR Engines in 2019 and purchasing chassis from Richard Childress Racing during the offseason. By 2020, RSS Racing secured primary sponsorship from CMR Construction & Roofing and achieved further competitive progress.
RSS Racing Competitive Journey
RSS Racing has steadily evolved from a part-time operation into a legitimate full-time competitor in the NASCAR Xfinity Series over more than a decade of competition. The team has expanded from a single car entry to fielding multiple vehicles across its history, while developing key technical alliances and manufacturer relationships. This progression has been marked by consistent participation, the growth of family drivers Kyle Sieg and Ryan Sieg through the ranks, and incremental improvements in competitive results culminating in the team’s first race victory in 2023.
Early Seasons and Development (2009-2016)
The team’s initial years in Truck Series competition involved part-time schedules and start-and-park operations to fund primary car efforts. The No. 39 Truck made its debut at Milwaukee in 2009 with Ryan Sieg driving. By 2013, the organization had expanded its Truck Series presence with multiple car numbers, including the No. 38 and No. 93 entries driven by various drivers including J.J. Yeley, Johnny Chapman, Chris Jones, Tony Raines, Scott Riggs, and Chad Frewaldt. These early seasons provided essential track time and operational experience.
The transition to Xfinity Series competition in 2013 began with limited entries but demonstrated the organization’s ambitions. Ryan Sieg showed early competitiveness, with his 2015 season producing an eleventh-place finish in points and an eighth-place result at Kansas. The 2016 season saw RSS Racing qualify for the Xfinity Chase playoffs, establishing the team as a legitimate competitor in the series. That same year, the organization added a second part-time entry, the No. 93 car, expanding its operational footprint.
Breakthrough in Xfinity Series (2017-2023)
The period from 2017 onward saw significant competitive improvements for RSS Racing in the Xfinity Series. Ryan Sieg posted consistent results, including a career-best second-place finish at the June Iowa race in 2017. By 2019, he completed every race in the No. 93 entry except for New Hampshire Motor Speedway, accumulating 25 top-twenty finishes, 11 top-ten finishes, and a fourth-place result at Daytona in February. This stretch represented the team’s most sustained competitive performance to that point.
The 2020 season marked a major milestone when CMR Construction & Roofing became the primary sponsor and Ryan Sieg drove the No. 39 full-time. Sieg achieved seven top-five finishes, 11 top-ten finishes, and made the playoff chase, advancing to the round of 8 before being eliminated. This breakthrough playoff performance demonstrated the team’s growth into championship-contending form. The 2023 season delivered the ultimate breakthrough when Aric Almirola, driving the No. 28 car, won the inaugural Sonoma Xfinity race, giving RSS Racing its first-ever race victory in the series.
Modern Program and Current Direction (2024-Present)
In November 2025, RSS Racing announced a significant manufacturer change, switching back to Chevrolet while maintaining its technical alliance with Haas Factory Team. This alignment with Chevrolet represents a return to the manufacturer’s equipment after running Ford Mustangs starting in 2021. The partnership with Haas Factory Team provides additional technical resources and strategic support for the organization’s competitive efforts.
Current driver lineup features Kyle Sieg in the No. 28 full-time and Ryan Sieg in the No. 39 entry. The team also fields the No. 38 and No. 29 part-time with various drivers including Patrick Emerling, Logan Bearden, J.J. Yeley, and others. The organization continues to develop young talent while maintaining its family-owned character under the leadership of Rod Sieg and Pamela Sieg. Primary sponsorship comes from CMR Construction & Roofing and SciAps, supporting the team’s ongoing operations and competitive ambitions.
Philosophy and Competitive Strengths
RSS Racing has built its identity around consistent participation and steady improvement rather than aggressive championship pursuits. The organization’s family-owned structure allows for long-term development planning and patient growth through the racing ranks. The team has demonstrated particular strength at superspeedway tracks, with multiple top-ten and top-five finishes at Daytona and Talladega. Technical alliances with established organizations like Haas Factory Team and Richard Childress Racing have provided competitive equipment and engineering support essential for success in the highly competitive Xfinity Series.
Key Milestones and Major Moments
The team’s most significant achievement remains its first race victory at Sonoma Raceway in 2023 with Aric Almirola driving the No. 28 car. Prior to that breakthrough, RSS Racing had accumulated over 400 Xfinity Series starts without a win. Other notable moments include Ryan Sieg’s playoff advancement to the round of 8 in 2020 and multiple superspeedway top-five finishes throughout the organization’s history. The transition to full-time Xfinity Series competition in 2020 and the continued development of drivers Kyle Sieg and Ryan Sieg represent ongoing milestones for the family-owned organization.
RSS Racing Achievements and Results
RSS Racing has compiled a competitive record across multiple NASCAR national series since its founding in 2009. The organization has participated in 532 total races across the Xfinity Series, Camping World Truck Series, and ARCA Menards Series divisions. Despite consistent participation spanning over 15 years, the team’s total victories stand at one, with that singular win representing a landmark achievement in the organization’s history. The team has not secured any drivers’ championships across its competitive history, though it has achieved notable results at specific events and tracks.
Xfinity Series Achievements
The NASCAR Xfinity Series represents RSS Racing’s primary competitive platform, with 411 races completed as of 2026. The team’s inaugural victory came at Sonoma Raceway in 2023 when Aric Almirola won the inaugural Xfinity race at the California road course, marking the highlight of the organization’s Xfinity Series history. Prior to that breakthrough, Ryan Sieg had accumulated multiple top-five and top-ten finishes, including a second-place result at Iowa in 2017 and numerous strong runs at superspeedway tracks. The team has made the Xfinity playoffs twice, with Ryan Sieg advancing to the round of 8 in 2020.
Camping World Truck Series Achievements
RSS Racing’s Truck Series history dates to its founding year of 2009, with 107 races completed across various entries. The organization fielded multiple truck numbers including the No. 27, 37, 38, 39, and 93 on a part-time basis during the early 2010s. The team achieved its best Truck Series result with Ryan Sieg finishing eleventh at Atlanta in 2015. Many of these early Truck entries operated as start-and-park efforts to fund the primary Xfinity Series program, though the organization gained valuable experience and track knowledge through this participation.
ARCA Menards Series Achievements
RSS Racing expanded into ARCA Menards Series competition in 2021, participating in 11 races across the main series, East, and West divisions. The team competed at major venues including Daytona, Dover, Kansas, and Phoenix during this single season of ARCA participation. This expansion demonstrated the organization’s willingness to explore additional racing platforms while maintaining its primary Xfinity and Truck Series commitments.
