RSS Racing is on the move from Ford Racing to Team Chevy for the 2026 NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series season. The race team confirmed the manufacturer swap, as well as a bevy of details involving its operation for the upcoming season, in a post on social media on Tuesday afternoon.
With the swap to Chevrolet, RSS Racing will continue its longstanding alliance with Haas Factory Team, which announced a swap from Ford to Chevrolet late last season. As part of the alliance, RSS Racing’s team will operate out of the Haas Factory Team race shop in Kannapolis, NC, and the team will run Hendrick Motorsports engines under the hood of its cars.
RSS Racing will join Jeremy Clements Racing in being housed at the Haas Factory Team shop in 2026, as JCR announced a new alliance with HFT on Monday.
The RSS Racing team will field two full-time entries for the 2026 season, and brothers Ryan Sieg (No. 39) and Kyle Sieg (No. 28) will reprise their roles as drivers for the organization. For the elder Sieg brother, Ryan, Matt Noyce will return as the crew chief for the driver and his No. 39 team in 2026.
Aeden McHugh, who served as the crew chief for the No. 70 Cope Family Racing Team in 2025, will move over to RSS Racing to serve as the crew chief for younger Sieg brother, Kyle, in 2026.

SciAps will return as a full-season primary sponsorship partner for Ryan Sieg and the No. 39 team.
While an official sponsorship schedule wasn’t released on Tuesday, the graphic shared by RSS Racing shows a group of other sponsorships and partnerships for the 2026 season, including Night Owl Companies, and Sustainachem, which will likely adorn Kyle Sieg’s No. 28 car.
Ryan Sieg, 38, has amassed 400 career starts in NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series (formerly Xfinity Series) competition heading into the 2026 season. The driver has recorded 23 top-five finishes and 75 top-10s over that span and has a career-best finish of second, which he has achieved five times.
Kyle Sieg, 24, has notched 114 starts in the NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series ranks over the last five years. The driver, who has been building speed in recent years, has recorded a top-10 finish in each of the last four seasons, and with the elevated alliance with Haas Factory Team, it’ll be interesting to see if Kyle can take another step forward in his driving career.
The younger Sieg brother finished 25th in the series standings a year ago, the first time he’s ever completed a full 33-race season.
