During his part-time Canadian Tire series season, Stacey made his part-time leap into the Nationwide Series in 2012 as well.
Stacey made his Nationwide debut at Watkins Glen dropping out during the race after 25 laps for a handling issue and finishing 32nd.
He then made his 2nd start as his home event at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve at Montreal, Quebec, but crashed twice and dropped out, finishing 35th.
Stacey ran five more races in 2012 that year running with Go Green Racing with a best finish of 24th at Chicagoland.
Stacey had a hard time his first 7 career Nationwide series races in 2012 with 3 DNF's and was well off the pace as well.
He finished his first part-time season in the Nationwide Series 48th in points.

In January 2013, Stacey announced that he went for 2013 NASCAR Rookie of the Year honors in the Nationwide Series in 2013 after forming KH Motorsports.
He drove the No.
92 Ford for the season with sponsorship from Maddie's Place in hopes of running the full season.
Unfortunately, two bad things happened during the season.
First, at Richmond, he suffered a concussion after a hard crash in turn 1 early in the race and had to miss the next race at Talladega.
He also had a similar accident at Michigan and had to have relief from Tim Andrews at Road America.
Then, his team started running low on funding and Maddie's Place left the team for a short period of time, forcing Stacey to start skipping races.
He did attempt to qualify for Mid-Ohio with the No.
46 team for The Motorsports Group, but failed to qualify.
Maddie's Place eventually returned to the No.
92 team late in the year and attempted the final 4 races, only to qualify for Texas and Homestead and missing Charlotte and Phoenix.
Overall, Stacey had no top 20 finishes and DNQ'd 5 times with a best finish of 21st in the Iowa Spring race and finished the season 30th in points.

In November 2016, Stacey announced that he would return to the series, now known as the Xfinity Series, driving the No.
70 for Derrike Cope Racing in the last three races of the season.
