In seven races, he earned one top-ten, a ninth-place finish atMemphis Motorsports Park. At the beginning of 2009, Sieg intended to run the entire season in Ballew's No. 15 entry. However, due to a lack of solid sponsorship, he left the team after only five races. He returned later in the year in a second entry for his family's team.
