Ep. 71: Ryan Sieg (RWP)

Ryan Sieg and his RSS Racing team are having a fantastic run in the Xfinity Series and Sieg is here to talk about how it’s happened. Sieg begins by admitting whether he expected the type of performances he’s had or if it’s been surprising; the benefit of buying old RCR cars and having veteran Shane Wilson as his crew chief; if Sieg’s attitude has changed any with the uptick in performance; if finishing in the top 10 is now the weekly goal; reflecting on his top five run at Richmond and what that meant to everyone on the team; how it feels to challenge cars from big teams like Joe Gibbs and Team Penske; Sieg explains how much older his equipment was to the competition before buying the RCR cars; how many employees there are at RSS and working on his car at the track; how much Sieg feels he’s grown in his six years in the series and if he’s content there; how gratifying it feels to perform well on all kinds of tracks; whether Sieg has his eyes on a realistic shot at making the playoffs.
