Richard Childress Racing, Jesse Love Add NASCAR Cup Starts at Kansas and Richmond

Jesse Love has added a pair of NASCAR Cup Series starts to his 2025 calendar, including this Sunday's AdventHealth 400 at Kansas Speedway.

The California driver will compete in the No. 33 Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet at Kansas, as well as the Cook Out 400 at Richmond Raceway on August 16.

“I’m looking forward to being back behind the wheel of the No. 33 C4 Ultimate Energy Chevrolet this weekend at Kansas,” said Love. “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. The focus for these races is to continue learning and understanding how this car feels compared to other cars that I’ve raced in the past.”

Love made his NASCAR Cup Series debut in the No. 33 at Bristol Motor Speedway in April. He also competed in last Sunday's Cup Series contest at Texas Motor Speedway, driving the No. 62 Chevrolet for Beard Motorsports.

C4 Ultimate Energy will continue to serve as the primary sponsor for Love’s efforts in the NASCAR Cup Series this season. The company, which is a multi-year partner of the up-and-coming driver, is the No. 1 selling global pre-workout brand and one of the fastest growing energy drink companies in the United States.

Love competes with Richard Childress Racing full-time in the NASCAR Xfinity Series. He has two career NASCAR Xfinity Series wins, including this year's season opener at Daytona International Speedway. Love is currently fourth in the Xfinity Series championship standings, with eight top-10 finishes in 12 races.

Love is also scheduled for another appearance in the Beard Motorsports No. 62. That takes place at Indianapolis Motor Speedway on July 27.

The AdventHealth 400 will take place on Sunday, May 11, at 3:00 PM ET. Coverage of the event will be on FOX Sports 1, MRN, and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio Channel 90.
