Jesse Love & Connor Zilisch Light Social Media on Fire as They Take Shots at Each Other’s NASCAR Misery; Fans in Disbelief

A great thing about NASCAR today is that there is a good sense of camaraderie among the younger drivers coming up in the system, which is mostly evident through their social media updates. While appreciative posts and shoutouts take the cake on most occasions, the drivers don’t miss chances to occasionally trade jabs with each other either. And, that is exactly what happened between Connor Zilisch and Jesse Love, which even shocked fans on X. The racers, who have taken part in NASCAR races this year, took shots at some of the weaknesses in each other’s race craft.

Jesse Love’s attempt at being funny backfires

The two drivers have made some errors in their respective competitions so far this season and when Brett Griffin asked fans to send some questions in for Connor Zilisch, Jesse Love could not help himself. The part-time Spire Motorsports star also was not going to sit back and take it as he reminded the RCR man of his heartbreaking finish at the Atlanta Motor Speedway earlier this season.

Love was the first one to comment as he wrote, “What brake marker should I use into turn 1 at cota?” He could be speaking about Zilisch being a victim of the track limits at the iconic venue. However, the Spire Motorsports man came back with a scathing reply. Jesse Love looked set to win the Atlanta race a few weeks ago, but running out of fuel, he only managed P12. “What’s the best way to save fuel on superspeedways?” Zilisch hilariously retorted.

The back-and-forth had race fans enticed, as they could not believe what they were reading. Several users voiced either their satisfaction or their disapproval at the two youngsters going at each other.

The response was mostly positive, as fans often enjoy it when drivers go toe-to-toe against each other in a war of words. “These guys are awesome,” one user commented. Another fan called the banter to be fun and said it was always nice to see these light-hearted conversations between racers on social media. “This is gold. I love drivers have fun with each like this,” they wrote.

Some users were flabbergasted by Connor Zilisch’s savage response to Jesse Love trying to be cheeky. “O. M. G,” one user commented. Another called the Spire Motorsports driver’s comeback a flamethrower. “Damn, @ConnorZilisch came in with a flame thrower.”

And then some users believed that this whole exchange was nothing more than a PR stunt. “This is so cringe man. another manufactured social media beef by 2 guys who have run 6 xfinity races . good lord,” one fan quipped.

Staged or otherwise, it is always a source of entertainment to see drivers banter with each other and that is exactly what Zilisch and Love did. Who do think was the better driver in their respective races at COTA? Let us know your thoughts.
