In 2021, it was announced that he would run the first 4 races of the season with hopes of a full season in the No. 28 for his family team, RSS Racing. [1] In those first 4 races, Sieg would finish in the top-10 in all of them, including 2 top-5's at Phoenix and Talladega. On May 12, it was announced that Sieg would make his debut in the Xfinity Series in the race at Dover in the No. 90 for DGM Racing in a partnership with RSS Racing.

On February 1, 2023, RSS Racing announced that Kyle would drive full-time in the No. 28 for the 2023 season. On April 22 at Talladega, Sieg was close to scoring his first top 5 finish after he was in the top 5 in the closing laps of the race but ultimately fell back and finished 15th. In 31 races, Sieg scored one top 10 with a 7th place finish in the summer race at Atlanta, had an average finish of 23.5, and finished 22nd in points.

Sieg DNQ'd to start the 2024 season at Daytona. At Michigan, Sieg was running near the top 10 on the last lap down the backstretch where he went low to avoid a spinning Carson Kvapil but got hooked in the left rear by Chandler Smith and both Sieg and Smith went spinning to the inside. Sieg's car caught air, did a blowover, landed on its roof, and scraped on its roof while hitting the inside wall passenger side first before it entered the grass and flipped his car back on all four wheels. Sieg was able to climb out of his car and was unhurt. Sieg would be placed in 28th to finish the race. His car was taken to the NASCAR Research and Development center to be studied, as the video showed the roof flaps, which was used to keep the car on the ground but did not deploy to keep the car on the ground. [3] For the final 5 races of the season, Kyle and his brother Ryan switched car numbers with Kyle going to the 39 and Ryan to the 28 as Ryan was trying to get his No. 28 more owners points.
