What does driver Jesse Love do for an encore after capturing the Ag-Pro 300 in double-overtime at Talladega Superspeedway and earning his first NASCAR Xfinity Series victory?
During the second race of the season at Atlanta Motor Speedway, Love paced the field on the second overtime, but his No. 2 Chevrolet ran out of gas.
Love beat runner-up Riley Herbst by .141 seconds, becoming just the seventh pilot to visit Victory Lane for the first time at Talladega’s 2.66-mile, high-banked track.
In nine circuit starts, the 19-year-old rookie has secured three top-five finishes, six top-10s and three poles. His average start has been 6.7 and has compiled four stage wins. He has led 220 laps and enters Saturday’s BetRivers 200 at Dover Motor Speedway in fourth place in the points standings, 41 behind Chandler Smith.
What will Love do next?
