2025 Fantasy Outlook
Love would capture the 2025 NASCAR O'Reilly Series championship with an incredible second season of racing in this division of NASCAR. The Richard Childress Racing youngster would pick up a pair of victories and a whopping 22 Top-10 finishes last season. Love's four pole positions would really underscore the speed and excellence of the No. 2 team last year. He would win the season finale at Phoenix and hold off the amazing Connor Zilisch to capture the title. For a follow up act, Love should be up to the task. He returns to an unchanged No. 2 RCR team and crew chief, Danny Stockman. Love and Stockman have built some good chemistry over the last two seasons and we expect this driver and team to make a spirited defense of the O'Reilly Series championship in 2026.

Runner-up Phoenix Finish
O'Reilly Auto Parts Series
March 7, 2026
Love finished second in the GOVX 200 O'Reilly Auto Parts Series race at Phoenix Raceway on Saturday night.
ANALYSIS
Love started on the outside pole and had a dominant performance at the Phoenix oval. He would lead a race-high 114 laps and set the pace much of the evening. However, Justin Allgaier would run him down and pass him in the green flag laps after the final caution of the night. Love would pursue Allgaier hotly to regain the lead but he would fall short at the checkered flag. It was his third Top 5 of the season in the first four races.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2025
2024
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.
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.
