NASCAR Community Unites to Aid Hurricane Helene Survivors

NASCAR Community Takes Action to Support Hurricane Helene Victims

The NASCAR community is uniting to support those impacted by the devastation of Hurricane Helene, which made landfall along the southern coast of the United States last weekend. Several drivers and teams have been using their own helicopters to ensure essential supplies reach those affected by the disaster.

Contributions from Drivers and Teams

Not only teams and drivers, but even race tracks, such as Bristol Motor Speedway in Tennessee and Charlotte Motor Speedway, have allowed access to their campgrounds to people who are being displaced.

• Among the aerial helpers is former NASCAR Cup star Greg Biffle, using his personal helicopter to deliver aid and supplies to hurricane-affected regions.
• He received 500 Starlink kits, aimed at restoring communication in areas lacking cell service, along with several generators from Polaris.

Community Efforts and Support

Trackhouse Racing is taking action, with co-owner Justin Marks sharing photos from Asheville, North Carolina, alongside team partner Aerial Recovery, which specializes in training and deploying Humanitarian Special Operators for disaster response. In addition, Kaulig Racing is actively collecting supplies and urging individuals to donate items at their race shop in Welcome, North Carolina.

Hendrick Motorsports and Joe Gibbs Racing (JGR) are also deploying their helicopters for relief efforts. JGR recently held a donation drive that concluded early Tuesday morning, gathering boxed non-perishable food and tarps. A hauler, fully stocked with water, food, baby essentials, and pet supplies, was dispatched to the affected region.

Furthermore, 23XI Racing and co-owner Michael Jordan are pledging $1 million to support relief efforts across North Carolina, a state that is home to many in the racing industry.
