Sheldon Creed retaliates, puts Jesse Love in the dirt at COTA
The second day in a row that Jesse Love has had issues with another NASCAR Xfinity Series driver. This time, it’s Sheldon Creed. During qualifying, Love had an issue with Riley Herbst. Now it’s another driver for another reason.
Sheldon Creed did not like how Jesse Love was racing him. The two were very aggressive with each other during Stage 2 of the Xfinity Series race at COTA.
In retaliation, Creed took Love to deep waters. He pushed the No. 2 car, the car Creed used to drive a couple of years ago, all the way to the dirt-trap.
There is a lot of great racing going on in this Xfinity Series race. The new NASCAR configuration that shortens the course by about a mile has been a success so far. Throughout the field, front to back, the racing is intense.
Jesse Love and Sheldon Creed were getting into it a bit. Then it was an issue with Sam Mayer before that was sorted out. Love is a great road course racer. On this track, you have to be aggressive. The new configuration has opened up a passing zone at Turn 6.
As this race comes to an end, we are going to see bump and runs and hip checks. Drivers will do whatever they have to do to win this race and if they can’t win, earn as many points as possible.

Jesse Love shuts down Sheldon Creed troll attempt
During the NASCAR Xfinity Series race at COTA, Jesse Love and Sheldon Creed got into it with one another and kept it up online. Creed took to social media to troll Love after the race, but the RCR driver was quick on with his thumbs.
Trading a bit of paint with each other, Jesse Love and Sheldon Creed may have started a great rivalry this weekend. Of course, Creed used to drive the No. 2 car for RCR before Love entered the Xfinity Series.
Maybe there is bad blood there? Maybe it is all because of the action on track. Hard to tell.
Creed hit Love with a “You play stupid games you win stupid prizes,” post showing their on-track altercation. Jesse Love simply responded, “[Scoreboard] buddy.” P6 for Love to P12 speaks for itself, to be honest.
On top of that, Jesse Love is doing things that Sheldon Creed couldn’t do in the No. 2 car. Let’s just point out the elephant in the room. Love has two career wins at RCR in less than two full seasons. Creed failed to win a race in the same car for two full seasons.
