Ah, Valentine’s Day weekend, and Love… they go hand-in-hand. It’s only fitting that Jesse Love conquered Saturday’s NASCAR Xfinity Series United Rentals 300 at Daytona International Speedway.

While Love’s RCR teammate Austin Hill was the dominant car in the race, Love took over the race when Hill retired due to a rear gear issue.

Love would lead 30 laps down the stretch, including the final 18. He’d have to endure three massive crashes in the closing laps, including one on the final lap of an Overtime finish.
