Whelen Engineering will continue its long-standing relationship with Richard Childress Racing in the NASCAR Xfinity Series for 2025, the organization confirmed on Thursday.
A global leader in emergency warning services, Whelen will continue to serve as the anchor partner of the No. 2 Chevrolet Camaro in the NASCAR Xfinity Series, with driver Jesse Love.
“We’re thrilled to extend our partnership with Richard Childress Racing and Jesse Love in 2025,” said Peter Tiezzi, General Manager of Motorsports for Whelen Engineering. “It’s been an honor to watch Jesse grow as a driver and ambassador for Whelen and RCR in his rookie season. Our shared commitment to excellence and community impact makes this partnership truly special, and we can’t wait to see what we achieve together next year.”
Since 1952, Whelen Engineering has been an ally and supporter of first responders. Driven by a mission to protect those who protect others, Whelen provides the high-quality, reliable products and technology needed to aid them in their critical missions.
From warning lights to white illumination, sirens, controllers, and software, every product that bears the Whelen name has been thoughtfully designed, manufactured, and tested in America to perform at the highest level in any condition.
“Whelen’s commitment to the motorsports industry is unwavering and we are proud to continue our relationship with such a great brand,” said Torrey Galida, president of Richard Childress Racing. “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, the 2023 ARCA Menards Series champion, has recorded one victory at Talladega Superspeedway in April, five pole positions, seven top-five, and 17 top-10 finishes through the opening 31 NASCAR Xfinity Series events of the season.
The 19-year-old driver has led 335 laps in his rookie campaign and earned a berth in the NASCAR Xfinity Series Playoffs. Love has yet to clinch Rookie of The Year honors, but is currently competing against Shane Van Gisbergen for the honors.
“Entering the NASCAR Xfinity Series and being paired with Whelen, a company that values and protects first responders, has been an honor,” said Love. “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.
The 2025 NASCAR Xfinity Series campaign will begin in mid-February at Daytona International Speedway, with the season-opener and all 33 events broadcast live on The CW.
