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
Runner-up Finish at Pocono
Love finished second in the Explore the Pocono Mountains 250 NASCAR Xfinity Series race at Pocono Raceway on Saturday afternoon.
ANALYSIS
Love started 10th on the grid and patiently worked his way forward. The young driver would break into the Top 5 by stage 2 and race there the rest of the way. Love would take the lead from Chase Elliott late and lead 8 laps down the stretch, however, he couldn't hold off a late charge from Connor Zilisch. The No. 88 Chevrolet would sail past and Love would settle for the impressive runner-up finish.

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.
