On February 13, 2019, it was announced Siegel would compete full-time in the 2019 U.S. F2000 National Championship for Newman Wachs Racing.^[5] He would finish 15th in the championship.

In January 2021, it was announced Siegel would return for a third season in 2021 driving for DEForce Racing.^[7][8] He would get his first win in the third race held at New Jersey Motorsports Park. He would finish the season 8th in the standings.

Indy Pro 2000

During 2021, Siegel would make his Indy Pro 2000 debut at Gateway Motorsports Park driving for DEForce Racing.^[9] He would impress by finishing 5th.

DEForce Racing announced Siegel would move up to the series full-time in 2022.^[10] At the first round held at St. Petersburg, he would take his maiden win by beating competitor Louis Foster on a late restart.^[11] Siegel would dominate the second race held at Barber Motorsports Park starting from pole and leading the race from start to finish.^[12] Ultimately, he would end up finishing 4th in the championship due to inconsistency during the middle and latter stages of the season.

Indy NXT

On September 8, 2022, it was announced Siegel would make his Indy Lights debut at final round held at Laguna Seca driving for HMD Motorsports with Dale Coyne Racing.^[13]

Siegel announced in October 2022 he would make the jump up to Indy NXT full-time for 2023, remaining at HMD Motorsports with Dale Coyne Racing.^[14] He would finish the season third in points, having won two races and scored a total of five podiums. With this, he also became the season's top rookie.

Sportscar racing career

In 2023, the American took part in the LMP2 class of the Asian Le Mans Series, driving for Inter Europol Competition.^[16] Partnering Charles Crews and Christian Bogle, Siegel managed to impress, leading his team to victory at Dubai by passing Charlie Eastwood in the final stint, though two retirements in the four-round season meant a lowly fifth place in the standings.^[17] He competed in various other sportscar races throughout the year, notably winning two LMP2 class races in the IMSA SportsCar Championship.^[18]
