Xfinity jesse love celebrates at daytona (1)

Jesse Love has been focused on refining his NASCAR Xfinity Series driving style. 

“I’m trying to play chess nowadays and not checkers,” Love said via press release. 

He made the right moves to avoid late-race chaos, capturing Saturday’s United Rentals 300 at Daytona International Speedway.  

Able to clear the multi-machine pileup on the final lap, Love maneuvered past Sheldon Creed checking up and creating chaos. Justin Allgaier crashed into Connor Zilisch, who took out a series of pilots, including rookie William Sawalich. 

NASCAR officials reviewed the final lap and determined Love was under a white flag before the final caution period was signaled. 

“We’re winners,” Love said, breathless. “I am so out of breath. Man, that thing was fast and I’m ready to get to Atlanta.” 

Where Love plans on showing off more advanced moves.
