Jesse Love, the 2025 NASCAR Xfinity Series Champion and driver of the Whelen No. 2 Chevy, visited Whelen Engineering on December 15th and 16th, making special stops at both the New Hampshire and Connecticut facilities alongside his dad, Duke Love. Returning fresh off his championship season, Jesse was excited to reconnect with employees, signing autographs, posing for photos, and sharing stories from his remarkable year on the track.
While Jesse spent time with fans throughout the buildings, his father received a behind-the-scenes tour of both facilities from Whelen President and CEO, Geoff Marsh, getting an up-close look at how Whelen products are designed, engineered, and built for first responders across the country.
The visit was also highlighted by local media, drawing additional attention to Jesse’s championship run and his relationship with Whelen. News Channel 8 captured the excitement and spoke with Jesse during his stop in Connecticut. You can watch the full feature in the video below.
