CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Myatt Snider confirmed Friday morning that he has expanded his NASCAR Xfinity Series schedule to a full-time effort, continuing to split time between Richard Childress Racing and RSS Racing.

Snider first made the announcement on SiriusXM NASCAR Radio’s The Morning Drive.

The 25-year-old began the year with select races in RCR’s No. 21 Chevrolet Camaro, earning the pole at Daytona Int’l Speedway in February before later adding a handful of races in the RSS No. 93 Camaro.

Now, in addition to starts at Pocono (Pa.) Raceway, Martinsville (Va.) Speedway and Phoeniz Raceway in Avondale, Ariz., with RCR, Snider will fill out his 2020 calendar with RSS – making him eligible for a playoff run.

Snider has competed in all eight Xfinity Series races held so far this year, with a best finish of fifth in the RCR No. 21 at Bristol (Tenn.) Motor Speedway on June 1. His highest result in the RSS No. 93 is 11th at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, Calif., in March.

He sits 15th in points entering a doubleheader weekend for the series at Homestead-Miami Speedway.

“I’m so excited to go full-time racing this year with great partners in TaxSlayer, Louisiana Hot Sauce and Superior Essex,” Snider said. “We’re going to have great looking race cars all year.

“I think with the way we’ve been running, we will have a really good chance to make the playoffs in 2020. I’m really looking forward to getting the rest of the season going during the next couple of races. We’re going to slay it!”

Snider pointed specifically to his longtime association with Louisiana Hot Sauce during his SiriusXM appearance on Friday, noting that his full-time run this season wouldn’t have become possible without the company’s support of his motorsports endeavors.

Louisiana Hot Sauce was the primary partner on Snider’s entry with Cunningham Motorsports – now Chad Bryant Racing – when he won in his ARCA Menards Series debut at Toledo (Ohio) Speedway in 2016.

“It’s thanks in part to a great partnership with Louisiana Hot Sauce that all this is happening,” said Snider. “They’ve supported me since I started my racing career on the bigger levels, in ARCA, and now they’re continuing it on with a partnership that has helped me to fill out the rest of my schedule in the Xfinity Series. I’m so stoked and thankful for all the support they’ve given me over the years. The fact that they’re back and in this capacity just makes me happy and excited for the future.”

Among the races that Snider has added to his schedule in light of the full-time move include both ends of the Homestead doubleheader, June 20 at Talladega (Ala.) Superspeedway and June 28 at Pocono.

All but the Pocono race will be under the RSS umbrella, and Snider noted that he’s seen growth from the team led by owner Rod Sieg and driver Ryan Sieg that has him excited to see what they can accomplish.

“A lot of the up and coming races for me are going to be with RSS Racing, so I just have to come in with a little bit different expectations knowing that,” Snider noted. “A top-five (finish) is pretty much a win for those guys and for that day, but we’ve been running really well the past couple of weeks with that No. 93 car. I probably should have finished really well at Atlanta, but we had a loose right rear that set us back.

“We’ve just been running really strong here lately. We almost had a top 10 at California, so the improvement and the pace is there,” he added. “It’s a little bit of a different expectation than the RCR car, but I’m all for it. The fact that I’m running full time is just a really big moment for me.”
