In 1992, Piercy made his debut in the ARCA Hooters SuperCar Series at the DuQuoin State Fairgrounds dirt-track, driving the No. 88 Chevrolet for Ron Turpin, where he started and finished in 37th after running only nine laps due to engine issues. He then made another start at DuQuoin the following year, this time driving the No. 78 Oldsmobile, where he finished 36th due to a crash three laps in the race. It was also during this year that he tested a NASCAR Winston Cup Series car at Daytona International Speedway.

In 1998, Piercy ran the full schedule for Turpin, where he achieved two top-ten finishes, both at Springfield and DuQuoin, with a best result of eighth at the former event, on his way to finish seventh in the final points standings. The remains of the plane were found two days later in a wooded area of Little Black Mountain in Harlan County, Kentucky, where the bodies of Piercy and the other passengers were found dead in the plane. 1993 N/A 78 Olds DAY FIF TWS TAL KIL CMS FRS TOL POC MCH FRS POC KIL ISF
