Jesse Love aims for mental reset before Chase with Asia trip

Summary

Jesse Love plans a trip to Asia for a spiritual cleanse as he prepares for the Chase. The driver of the No. 21 Ford, set to compete full-time in the Cup Series, has struggled recently, finishing 20th at the Winn-Dixie 250 in Daytona. Love, who has yet to win this season and is fourth in the standings, faces mounting pressure after a series of disappointing finishes. He believes this reset may help him regain his 'mojo' ahead of defending his O'Reilly Series championship. With the Chase approaching, Love feels a change is necessary to improve his fortunes on the track.
