Jesse Love will make his NASCAR Cup Series debut withও Richard Childress Racing at Bristol ne♍xt month.

The ♓20-year-old will drive the #33 C4 Ultimate Energy Chevrolet in the Food City 500 on 13 April.

Love has impressed Richard Childress Racing since he stepped up to Xfinity Series with the squad last year, scoring a v🎀ictory in just his ninth 🔜attempt and ending the season as the top rookie.

He kicked off his sophomore year in the intermediate series with a victory at Daytona Sp📖eedway and is seen as a serious contender for🥃 the championship.

“Racing in the Cup Series has always been my main goa🦩l and dream,” said Love.

“Everything that I have done up to this point in my career has been building to this moment. To make my Cup Series debut at this age is very special, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to mak꧋e it with RCR. Everyone has welcomed me with open arms over the last year and the organization feels like family.”

Love h𝔍as been making waves in stock car racing from an early age. He became the youngest driver to win a NASCAR-sanctioned championship when he won the ARCA Menards Series West title in 2020 at the age of just 15.

He followed that triumph with the ARCA Menards Series title in 2023, before 🌟stepping up to the Xfinity Series w♔ith RCR last year.

In the Cup Series, RCR is fielding full-season entries for Austin Dil🐟li♌on and Kyle Busch this year, and a part-time entry for Austin Hill.

“I’m excite꧃d to have Je🐓sse make his Cup Series debut in the No. 33 Chevrolet,” said Richard Childress, chairman and chief executive officer of RCR.

“From 🌌the moment I started watching Jesse race, I knew that he had the talent. He has the passion for wanting to win and doing the best possible for his t🔯eam.

“To be a gre💛at driver🌄, you have to have passion behind the wheel and Jesse has that. We’ve seen him develop over the last year since he joined RCR, and I look forward to helping him compete at the highest level of our sport.”
