Jesse Love Scores ARCA Pole at Salem

Fittingly, as he clinched the ARCA Menards Series championship, Jesse Love scored the pole for the ARCA race at Salem Speedway on Saturday (Sept. 30) too.

Love captured his sixth pole award of 2023 and the 10th of his career. In addition, it’s his first pole at Salem too.

Love won the 2021 ARCA race at the Indiana short track and he is now poised to do so again, starting first in the 19-car field.
