This marks a significant expansion for Beard Motorsports, traditionally focusing on superspeedways and road courses, as it's their first time competing at both Texas and Indianapolis. The team's partnership with Love comes through their technical alliance with Richard Childress Racing.
Amie Beard-Deja, executive vice president of Beard Motorsports, expressed enthusiasm about broadening their racing program beyond their usual superspeedway niche, citing Love's impressive racing career as a key factor in their decision.
Love, 20, currently competes full-time in the NASCAR Xfinity Series with RCR and has secured two wins in 42 career starts. Following his Cup Series debut at Bristol Motor Speedway, Love aims to gain valuable experience with the Cup car at different tracks, building on his career momentum with the family-owned team known for their well-prepared race cars.
"Making my Cup Series debut at Bristol was a moment I had been working towards my entire life," Love stated, emphasizing his goal to gain experience with the Cup car across different tracks to prepare for future opportunities.
