In 2016, the No. 90 returned to the NASCAR Xfinity Series once again and now almost full-time except for 2 races, one fielded once again by SS-Green Light Racing and the other one fielded by B. J. McLeod Motorsports. In 2017, the team returned full-time again but now only for 21 races with King and the ride was split with Brandonbilt Motorsports that fielded the car in the other 12.

In 2020, it was revealed that the team would be fielding a fourth car for the first time, with team owner Mario Gosselin piloting the No. 91 in the season-opener at Daytona for his first Xfinity start as a driver since 2017.
