Jesse Love will get two more opportunities to race in the NASCAR Cup Series for Richard Childress Racing when he competes at Kansas Speedway on Sunday and at Richmond Raceway on Aug. 16.

The 20-year-old Xfinity Series driver made his Cup Series debut at Bristol Motor Speedway for RCR on April 13 when he finished 31st. His second Cup Series race came Sunday at Texas Motor Speedway for Beard Motorsports when he crashed with 50 laps remaining and did not finish.

“I’m looking forward to being back behind the wheel of the No. 33 C4 Ultimate Energy Chevrolet this weekend at Kansas,” Love said in an RCR release. “Kansas has been a great track for me throughout my career and to have the opportunity to run the Cup car consecutive weeks on a mile-and-a-half track is going to be valuable experience.”

Love, a native of Northern California, is currently in fourth place in the Xfinity Series standings for RCR despite being disqualified following a post-race inspection after winning at Rockingham last month. He won the Xfinity season-opening race at Daytona.

In addition to Xfinity and Cup Series experience, Love was the ARCA Menards Series champion in 2023 for Venturini Motorsports.
