Jesse Love Triumphs in Dramatic Overtime Finish at Daytona's United Rentals 300
The NASCAR Xfinity Series kicked off its 2025 season with the United Rentals 300 at Daytona International Speedway on Saturday, February 15. The race, which aired on The CW, saw Jesse Love emerge victorious in a dramatic overtime finish. Love, driving the No. 2 Whelen Chevrolet, led the final laps after a multi-car crash with two laps remaining forced the race into overtime. This marked Love’s second career Xfinity Series victory, following his debut win at Daytona in 2024.
The race was filled with intense moments, including multiple cautions and a significant crash on Lap 5 involving several cars, including DeLand native Daniel Dye. Defending race winner Austin Hill, who had won the event three consecutive times, encountered mechanical issues during Stage 3 and was unable to continue. Hill had earlier won both Stage 1 and Stage 2, maintaining his dominance at Daytona until his exit.
The United Rentals 300 featured a competitive field, including defending series champion Justin Allgaier, who started on the pole, and a mix of seasoned veterans and promising rookies. The race was part of a doubleheader at Daytona, following the ARCA Menards Series’ Ride the ‘Dente 200, which was won by Brenden Queen.
The NASCAR Xfinity Series will continue its season with the next race at Atlanta Motor Speedway on February 22. Fans can catch the action on The CW or through streaming platforms like Fubo, which offers a free trial for new subscribers.
