Xfinity Series

Car No. 39 history

The No. 39 car was the first entry for RSS Racing in the Xfinity Series. Ryan Sieg, son of owner Rod Sieg, was the driver for the 3 races it entered. He finished 24th at Indy, 21st at Kansas, and failed to qualify at Atlanta. In 2014, Sieg returned, planning to run the first 5 races, but would run for Truck points. However, after finishing 9th at Daytona, and also running well at other tracks, he declared he was running for rookie of the year and transferring his points to the Xfinity Series. After the 2014 Treatmyclot.com 300, the team was penalized due to the maximum rear body height being too high. Crew chief Kevin Starland and car chief Timothy Brown were placed on probation, the former also being fined $10,000.[4] Sieg ran in the top 20 for most of the races, but did well at Daytona again. Finishing 3rd for his first top 5 finish, and helped push Kasey Kahne to the victory. Sieg finished 16th in points. For 2015, Sieg returned with sponsorship from Uncle Bob's self storage. He would run well again, finishing 11th in points and picking up an 8th place finish at Kansas. Sieg returns again in 2016, picking up another 3rd place finish at Daytona in July. The team would make the Xfinity chase, but was out after Round 1.
