Jesse Love is getting a lot more experience in a Cup car than anyone expected entering the 2025 season. The 20-year-old made his Cup debut with Richard Childress Racing at Bristol, finishing 31st. He made another appearance in the recent Cup race at Texas, this time driving for Beard Motorsports where a late-race crash left him with a DNF. Love spun at the exit of Turn 2 with less than 50 laps to go in the race, impacting the inside wall.
RCR has now confirmed that the Xfinity Series regular will run at least two more Cup races this year with his third career start coming at Kansas Speedway this weekend. Love will also compete in August 16 event at Richmond Raceway. He will pilot the No. 33 RCR Chevrolet in both of these starts.
