Bio
Jesse Love returns to Richard Childress Racing and the NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series in 2026 looking to defend his title. He secured the 2025 series championship at Phoenix Raceway, earning his third career O'Reilly victory by beating Connor Zilisch, his best friend and the year's most dominant driver. Love's two other victories came at drafting tracks, with his first in 2024 at Talladega Superspeedway. In 2020, Love made his ARCA Menards Series debut for Bill McAnally Racing and joined Venturini Motorsports for the 2022 and 2023 seasons. Love recorded 10 wins in the ARCA Menards Series in 2023, easily winning the championship. Hailing from California, Jesse Love began his racing career at 5 years old in quarter midgets.
