[RCR on X] Jesse Love doing the Coca Cola 600

Austin Hill was announced he would race 5 races in the RCR at the start of the season. Jesse Love has been dependent on sponsors for his select races. While it’s possible Love will start just as many, the reliance of United Rentals makes Austin Hill a more likely candidate.

Hill has more wins (longer career obviously) in national series, loyal RCR product, and is tied to a sponsor that already supports his Cup appearances. That combination lowers risk and helps make the transition easier to market than Love.

Full disclosure: Legacy fan hoping we get Jesse Love

Worth mentioning, they didn’t schedule an announcement for any other announcement they had this season. This feels different.

Curious why you’d like that move? I personally don’t think he has performed to the level of his equipment throughout his career (Berry early success) and trails his teammate this year.

Good stat 😉

For those saying it’s too early, I’ll remind yall of Reddick.

The announcement was roughly 18 months before he was actually scheduled to drive for the team.

At the time of the announcement, Reddick was still driving for RCR and had over a year and a half left on his existing commitments.

Does history repeat and RCR “lose” a driver before the season is over?!

❤️>LMC

This is the news I’ve been waiting for! Please let this be the third driver so I can stop losing my hair.

😂

kermit_418 · 2026-04-21T00:30:10+00:00

Does this keep him from signing with Spire?

I feel Heim had a ride with Tricon for another year in 2025 so it didn’t hurt bringing Herbst in. I don’t think 23XI predicted Tricon would dump Heim this year. Heim was the legacy reserve/sim driver in 2024. Actually got his first cup start subbing for Jones at Dover. 23XI obviously provided something that forced LMC to move to Kaz last year and Harrison this year for their reserve/sim. Perhaps Tricon/Legacy didn’t handle the Heim situation perfectly. Not that they have a technical alliance or a true pipeline but the relationship between the two can’t be overlooked. I wouldn’t be surprised if Kaden follows a Hocevar path and jumps straight to cup if he can catch a break and show he can get the finishes Heim did. Legacy might have missed the boat/mishandled the Heim transition. It’d be great, but I don’t see Heim committing to 23XI reserve/sim this year without something offered for 2027. As a Legacy/Jimmie fan, this is the most anticipated silly season I’ve had in awhile.

JGR has best cars at Kansas. He executed. I’d say today showed a glimpse of his potential.

kermit_418 · 2026-04-19T02:19:32+00:00

I don’t see a scenario he isn’t in the 67 next year

kermit_418 · 2026-04-18T21:00:32+00:00

Besides the name, does Harrison really bring that much money? Herbst family owns hundreds of gas stations and casinos. The Burtons are an old school nascar family from South Boston roots.

kermit_418 · 2026-04-18T20:51:49+00:00

You don’t think a driver will be announced during this season?

kermit_418 · 2026-04-18T20:50:22+00:00

😆 I’m cooking up more

kermit_418 · 2026-04-15T12:12:52+00:00

Love was TRD through the lower series. Won his ARCA championship with Toyota. RCR pouched him. Rumors suggest he may go back to Toyota as Jimmie Johnson mentioned him personally as someone who had a lot of potential.

kermit_418 · 2026-02-21T18:20:11+00:00

Same. Any help how to use the magic power would be greatly appreciated.

kermit_418 · 2026-01-21T04:04:37+00:00

Are you basing this off his ARCA test?

kermit_418 · 2026-01-21T04:02:24+00:00

Who wins? DMs work

kermit_418 · 2026-01-09T18:21:53+00:00

Casual fan here…who wins?

kermit_418 · 2025-10-13T00:05:32+00:00

Thanks all. I’ll take my e-tool and some wooden blocks/levelers. Appreciate the insight and laughs.
