BJR's bid to provide flood relief to farms
11 Mar 2022
Brad Jones Racing has joined in on the effort to provide flood relief to communities effected by the disaster.
The flood crisis was recently declared a national emergency, with southeastern Queensland and northeastern New South Wales most affected.
BJR has joined forced with Adaptalift to provide flood relief to NSW farmers desperate for feed for livestock.
It comes after drivers and teams united in solidarity for affected communities.
Erebus Motorsport teammates Will Brown and Brodie Kostecki also raised funds through a special initiative.
Brown and Kostecki auctioned off space on their race helmets for last weekend's Beaurepaires Sydney SuperNight.
On Friday, BJR truck driver Paul Eddy departed Albury with a full load of hay aboard the Anthony Ryan-supplied trailer.
Eddy will deliver stock to be distributed to farmers between Lismore and Murwillumbah.
Loss of livestock and farming machinery has devastated several farms in northern NSW.
Recently, donated fodder began arriving in areas of northern NSW, where hundreds of cows and farm animals are understood to have died in floodwaters.
The BJR initiative is among several private fodder runs are being organised by farmers and rural communities across Victoria, NSW and Queensland.
Notably, one private run involved 18 trucks and semi-trailers carrying about 550 bales of hay to farms around Lismore and Casino.
BJR began its 2022 season last week in Sydney, with Andre Heimgartner impressing to fifth in Race 2.
The 2022 Repco Supercars Championship will resume at the NED Whisky Tasmania SuperSprint.
