WELCOME, N.C. Richard Childress Racing announced that NASCAR Xfinity Series standout Jesse Love will make his NASCAR Cup Series debut at Bristol Motor Speedway on April 13.

Love will pilot the No. 33 C4 Ultimate Energy Chevrolet on the high banks of the Last Great Colosseum.

Racing in the Cup Series has always been my main goal and dream, said Love. Everything that I have done up to this point in my career has been building to this moment. To make my Cup Series debut at this age is very special, and Im grateful for the opportunity to make it with RCR. Everyone has welcomed me with open arms over the last year and the organization feels like family.

Love has quickly climbed the motorsports ranks and continues to add to an impressive resume. During his Xfinity Series rookie campaign in 2024, the 20-year-old claimed his first series win, a series-leading five poles, and Sunoco Rookie of the Year honors.

Love became the youngest champion in NASCAR history by clinching his first ARCA Menards Series West title at the age of 16 in 2020

Earning his first Xfinity Series victory of 2025, Love captured the checkered flag in the season-opening event at Daytona Intl Speedway.

Im excited to have Jesse make his Cup Series debut in the No. 33 Chevrolet, said Richard Childress, chairman and chief executive officer of RCR. From the moment I started watching Jesse race, I knew that he had the talent. He has the passion for wanting to win and doing the best possible for his team. To be a great driver, you have to have passion behind the wheel and Jesse has that. Weve seen him develop over the last year since he joined RCR, and I look forward to helping him compete at the highest level of our sport.
