Ryan Sieg and his No. 39 C2 Freight Resources, Inc Chevrolet will head to the 7/8-mile short track of Iowa Speedway this weekend for the U.S. Cellular 250.
With momentum on their side after finishing 8th in last weekends ROXOR 200 from New Hampshire Motor Speedway they’ll look to have a solid day at the track known as the fastest short track on the planet.
Finished 8th at NHMS yesterday. So proud of our race team and how far we have come. A big thank you to @NightOwlInc1 for stepping up and sponsoring us. Heading to Iowa with some momentum 👍 pic.twitter.com/9ONaeDlruF

Sieg left The Magic Mile having earned his 8th Top-10 of the season and has high hopes that Iowa will provide the same results he and his team saw during the 2017 season, if not one spot better.
The 2017 race provided Sieg with his best career finish in the NASCAR Xfinity Series to date, that finish being second.
One spot better this weekend and Sieg, as well as his family-owned RSS Racing team will earn their first career victory in the series.
Earlier in the season when the series visited Iowa, Sieg unfortunately saw a good finish dissipate due to a fuel pressure issue, resulting in a disappointing 30th-place result.
Sieg told Kickin’ The Tires, “Iowa should be a good race for us. It’s the same car we ran at NH and it ran Top-10 all race. We had some issues the first time around at Iowa, so we want to make up for that. We have some momentum with back-to-back Top-10s, and we are hopeful for another.”
