Jesse Love is scheduled to return to the NASCAR Cup Series for selected races in 2026, beginning with the event at Circuit of the Americas (COTA) this March. The promising driver will pilot the No. 33 Chevrolet for Richard Childress Racing, supported by sponsor C4 Energy and crew chief Andy Street.
Review of Jesse Love’s Performance and Team Support
Last season, Love made five Cup Series appearances, driving for two different teams. He impressed by qualifying 19th during his debut at Bristol and achieved his best race finish of 24th at Indianapolis with Beard Motorsports. Throughout these starts, C4 Energy sponsored the hood of his car, reflecting a strong partnership.
“C4 Energy has been with me throughout many major moments in my career and I’m excited for them to be showcased on the No. 33 Chevrolet when I make my 2026 Cup Series debut next weekend at Circuit of the Americas,”
Love stated.
Despite a challenging rookie Cup campaign, Richard Childress Racing remains committed to Love’s development. Mike Verlander, RCR’s president, praised Love’s growth both on and off the track.
“Jesse Love is a talented racer who has consistently proven himself with strong on-track performance and an off-track demeanor that appeals to fans and partners,”
Verlander said.
“We’re proud of his development over the past few years and look forward to helping him compete at the highest levels of our sport alongside C4 Ultimate Energy.”
Looking Ahead to the 2026 Season
As Love prepares to take on the challenges of the Cup Series in 2026, the partnership with C4 Energy and Richard Childress Racing signals confidence in his future potential. Fans and sponsors alike will be watching closely at COTA to see how the young driver performs on one of the sport’s premier road courses, setting the stage for additional starts later in the year.
