Jesse Love getting tips from Supercars standout Broc Feeney in Super2 debut
While the rest of us were eating turkey and watching football, Jesse Love was in Australia talking about racing. The 2025 NASCAR Xfinity Series champion is racing in Super2, the Supercars equivalent of his full-time series.
Not only are Austin Cindric and Jesse Love down in Australia, but Leigh Diffey went back home to be part of the fun, too. The Adelaide Grand Final weekend is underway and the NASCAR talent has slowly improved in this new environment.
Love was asked about the playoff-style format. Supercars and their “Grand Final” are in their first year together, and it is an ongoing experiment. But while answering that, Love revealed that a young and talented Supercars talent is helping him out. Someone we could very well see in NASCAR one day.
“When you have a winner-take-all format … it’s so difficult,” Love explained on Supercars’ YouTube page. “It’s so hard, and there’s so much pressure on your shoulders, and again, these guys are all professionals, right? So, they’re all going to manage it the right way.
“Broc Feeney has actually helped me quite a bit leading up to this event, and just kind of debriefing with him yesterday. Those guys are so helpful to me. So, yeah, I’m pulling for Broc, hoping he can get it done. Like I said, there’s no room for error here because it’s a concrete wall street course. You put that and then all the stress and the pressure, it’s a perfect little pressure cooker for sure.”
Jesse Love is a talented road course racer. This season, Love had top-10s at COTA, Chicago, and Portland. It has been difficult for Love to be able to keep pace with the leaders in Super2, though. A new track, new car, new side of the car to drive on, and more – there is a lot to learn. Love went from essentially last in his first practice to finishing P19 in qualifying for the race on Saturday. He will also have a race on Sunday.

Jesse Love is a great ambassador for NASCAR
A lot of 20-year-olds would still be partying after winning a major championship. Instead, Jesse Love is celebrating his NASCAR Xfinity Series title with more racing. In an effort to keep himself competitive and a step ahead of the field, he’s racing in Australia in the Super2 series.
Sometimes, it is hard to deny the positive effects of racing constantly. It is not a coincidence that Kyle Larson is constantly racing and is consistently one of the best racers in the United States, if not the world. While sprint cars are different than stock cars, staying in race shape, both mind and body, has to be an advantage for many drivers.
In Australia, Love is getting to feel a car that is more closely related to the modern Cup Series car. His O’Reilly Series car is going to feel much different than what he’s driving currently this weekend.
Jesse Love is getting invaluable experience right now in Australia. He’s speaking with Broc Feeney regularly, which is a big deal. Feeney is only 23 years old, and he’s on pace to win the Supercars championship this year, which would be his first. This season alone, he has 16 pole awards and 13 wins. Don’t be shocked when a Cup Series team makes Feeney their very own SVG project.
