NHRA Top Fuel driver Josh Hart, along with his wife Brittanie, are helping with the relief efforts for many of the residents in North Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia and the panhandle of Florida that continue to suffer the aftereffects of Hurricane Helene.

The Harts are committed to raise donations for the affected communities of the panhandle of Florida from now until October 23^rd, the day of their annual After Dark Car Show and Trunk or Treat event at Burnyzz Speed Shop in Ocala, Florida.
 
“We wanted to do something for all the people affected by Hurricane Helene here in Florida and this just seemed like the perfect way to help,” said Brittanie Hart. “We have been blessed in our lives and luckily, we didn’t get hit that hard in Ocala. We are praying for everyone affected. We hope these donations will make a difference. We are going to head to the panhandle of Florida with some of the crew guys from the R+L Carriers team between the Fall Nationals and the Nevada Nationals.”

From now until October 23rd, the Harts and Burnyzz Speed Shop will be collecting donations. Race fans are encouraged to bring a bag or small box of donations and in return for this act of generosity fans will receive a Josh Hart Racing shirt (while supplies last). Donations can be dropped off at Burnyzz Speed Shop (1 Aspen Road, Ocala, Florida, Monday-Friday 9am-5pm). The Harts are going to match every donation.
