Whelen Engineering will continue its sponsorship of Richard Childress Racing in the NASCAR Xfinity Series in 2025, RCR announced Oct. 31.
Jesse Love will again drive the Whelen-sponsored No. 2 in the series, returning for a second year.
“Entering the NASCAR Xfinity Series and being paired with Whelen, a company that values and protects first responders, has been an honor,” Love said in a team release. “Since I joined Richard Childress Racing, the entire company at Whelen has welcomed me with open arms. From touring both of their facilities in Connecticut and New Hampshire to unveiling the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation scheme at FDIC International and participating in Sonny Whelen’s Racing for a Cure charity go kart event, I’ve been able to see firsthand all the work that Whelen does to enrich our communities. I’ll always be grateful that we were able to give Whelen their first NASCAR win earlier this season, and I know we have more victories in our future together.”
Added Torrey Galida, RCR president: “Whelen’s commitment to the motorsports industry is unwavering and we are proud to continue our relationship with such a great brand. Throughout our partnership, we have brought awareness to worthy causes that support first responders and built a robust at-track hosting program that encourages collaboration. Jesse has been an outstanding representative for Whelen in his rookie season. Together, he delivered Whelen their first victory in the Xfinity Series. We are confident that there is much more success on the horizon for Jesse and Whelen.”
Love has scored one win, seven top fives and 17 top 10s so far in his rookie Xfinity season.
