Yeley then took over the car, finishing 21st as ISM Raceway, and 34th at Auto Club Speedway.
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 in 2013. He finished 24th at Indy, 21st at Kansas, and withdrew 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.

The team would make the Xfinity chase, but was out after Round 1. Sieg’s performance dropped slightly in 2017, missing the chase and finishing 15th in the standings, but got a career best second place finish at the June Iowa race to William Byron. Stephen Leicht drove the finale race at Homestead, in order for Sieg to drive the No. 93 for owner points. The team started 2018 with J. J. Yeley finishing 18th at Daytona.
