Xfinity Championship 4 Drivers: The Favorite, The Champ, The Outlier & The Outsider

Dale Earnhardt Jr. welcomes in the NASCAR Xfinity Series championship competitors for a driver tell-all before the big race this weekend. He is joined by Connor Zilisch, Justin Allgaier, Carson Kvapil and Jesse Love to discuss their seasons and path for surviving elimination at Martinsville. Plus, Dale breaks some news on the show.

Dale starts by getting to know Love, who is the lone driver competing from outside the JR Motorsports garage. Coming from the prosperous open wheel scene in California, Jesse made motorsports headlines when he became the youngest ARCA Champion in history in 2023. Kvapil comes to the table as a rookie in the series, making the final four in his first full-time attempt. He and Dale have an extensive track history together, as Carson competed in the JRM late model stock program and captured the 2022 and 2023 CARS Tour crowns.  

It’s been a banner year for Zilisch, as he’s captured ten victories and has shown dominance on virtually every type of track on the schedule. As he plans to depart for a full-time Cup slate with Trackhouse in 2026, he explains that no matter what happens in Phoenix, this year has been a smashing success. The group of four is anchored by the elder statesman, longtime veteran, and reigning Xfinity Series champion Allgaier. After having gone through this exact process just a year ago, he explains that this year he is much calmer and advises his younger competitors to enjoy every moment and not take anything for granted.
