TOLEDO, Ohio — Jesse Love will return to Toledo Speedway and the ASA STARS National Tour on Sept. 16 for the Glass City 200 Presented by DTS Drive Train Specialists and Courtyard by Marriott.
The current ARCA Menards Series points leader is batting over .500 with the series in 2023, having won nine of the 17 races. With three races remaining in the ARCA season, Love has a chance to match Tim Steele’s mark of 12 wins in 1997 for most wins in a single season in the modern era (1979).
Love competed in both the ASA/CRA Super Series portion of the Glass City 200 and the ARCA Menards Series finale at Toledo in 2022. Despite dominating both races, he finished second both times after late-race battles for the win – first to William Sawalich after leading 78 laps in the super late model, then to Sammy Smith in the ARCA race after leading 192 of 200 laps. Â
He has one previous start with the ASA STARS National Tour, coming at Hickory Motor Speedway in May. He won stage two of the Tar Heel 250, but was relegated to an 11th-place finish after late-race contact with William Byron.Â
The California driver rejoins Wilson Motorsports in the No.20 alongside series race winners Cole Butcher and Gio Ruggiero, the car’s third race of the season following Love’s start at Hickory and Sean Hingorani’s lone race at the Milwaukee Mile.Â
