2025 Fantasy Outlook
Love's rookie season was an unquestionable success last year. He raced to one win and 18 Top-10 finishes as well as a surprising five pole positions. The 20-year-old driver seemed very comfortable on superspeedways as well as short tracks and road circuits. Love grabbed an impressive win at Talladega and a runner-up finish at Phoenix. The Richard Childress Racing youngster will look to up the ante in 2025 and he'll do it with much of the same team returning at the No. 2 Chevrolet. We expect to see Love win more races and improve his week-to-week consistency as he matures. That means more Top-10 finishes, a better average finish and if the breaks fall his way a possible challenge for the 2025 Xfinity Series championship. Read Past Outlooks
Tops Dover Xfinity Practice
Love was fastest in Happy Hour practice for the BetRivers 200 NASCAR Xfinity Series race at Dover Motor Speedway on Saturday. He turned a fast lap of 151.235 mph.
ANALYSIS
Love piloted the No. 2 Chevrolet to the top of the scoring pylon with a strong lap at the Monster Mile. He beat out Parker Retzlaff for the fastest speed in this lone practice ahead of pole qualifying. The Richard Childress Racing youngster looks like a Top-5 threat for Saturday's BetRivers 200 in Dover.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
After a dominant, 10-win performance and championship in the ARCA Menards Series last season, Love promotes straight past the trucks and into the Xfinity Series for 2024. The 19-year-old prodigy takes over RCR's strong No. 2 Chevrolet team. This is the same car that Sheldon Creed drove to seventh-place in the points last season and Myatt Snider drove to ninth-place in the points in 2021. For his rookie campaign, Love will be paired with veteran crew chief, Danny Stockman, and the two will look to hit the ground running in the upcoming season. Stockman has over 200 starts of experience in this division of NASCAR, seven victories and a championship with Austin Dillon in 2013. The duo should have some success, but won't be world beaters right out of the gate.
