RSS Racing’s Ryan Sieg cashes in; Final Dash 4 Cash up next at Dover

Despite falling a lap down after a flat tire, Ryan Sieg was able race his way back and beat his three NASCAR Xfinity Series Dash 4 Cash competitors for the $100,000 bonus last weekend at Talladega Superspeedway.

“This is huge for our team,” Sieg said. “It was a rough one (at Talladega). I thought I threw it away, but we were lucky enough to get the caution at the end and come back and beat the 16. So, it all worked out and is pretty extraordinary for our small team.”

With the Xfinity Dash 4 Cash win, he was able to lock himself into the final Dash 4 Cash opportunity this weekend at Dover Motor Speedway along with Jesse Love, Riley Herbst and Anthony Alfredo.
