Jesse Love triggers massive wreck after Xfinity Series restart at Atlanta

Jesse Love has recovered from the wreck. His RCR team patched up his No. 2 car and sent him back out on the track. In fact, he was able to record the fastest lap of the race while in the draft soon after the race restarted following this wreck.

This is a long race. There is a lot of time, as long as lightning doesn’t come down within the 30-mile radius again. If this No. 2 car is running fast laps, who is to say Love can’t still win this race?

Meanwhile, his best friend, Connor Zilisch, leads the race. Could Zilisch make it two in a row after his big win at Pocono?

Jesse Love, Connor Zilisch crash CW broadcast

What does Connor Zilisch do with his time during a weather delay? He grabs his buddy Jesse Love and asks to be interviewed on TV. The CW was doing weather delay coverage during the NASCAR Xfinity Series race. Then, the two young drivers popped up on the screen.

Connor Zilisch told the broadcast that he had essentially gotten board during the delay. He saw other drivers being interviewed on TV through the broadcast at the track. So, he walked from his pit box to the media center and asked to be interviewed.

It didn’t take long for Zilisch’s friend to pop up. The two drivers then started joking around.

“I pulled out of line, I had a big run on him, and then he broke bro code again, and he side drafted me. Pretty hard,” Love said after some back and forth.

“There is no bro code on the race track,” Zilisch responded. “He broke it at Talladega, actually.”

Of course, Jesse Love made contact with Connor Zilisch at Talladega earlier this season. It ended up causing the JR Motorsports driver to miss the Texas Xfinity Series race. However, Zilisch got the last laugh in this instance.

Once Pocono was brought up, a race Zilisch won over Love (P2), the RCR driver ducked off camera and left. After 36 laps on track, the 88 is sitting second in this Atlanta race. The 2 car is third.
