Thank God for the Salvos, says a charitable Rogers

After he’d spent an estimated $150,000 on the miraculous resurrection of Jason Bargwanna's battered and bruised Commodore over the past fortnight, you couldn't blame team owner Garry Rogers for keeping the proceeds raised by an auction of the unsalvageable car parts to himself.

Instead, he's donated the money - more than $5,500 - to the Salvation Army.

"After we looked at all the parts from Jason's crash at Phillip Island we thought it would be a great way of raising a bit of money for the Salvos," Rogers said.

The most sought-after item in the auction, held at Eastern Creek over the Round Three weekend, was the car's bonnet (or at least, the biggest part left of it!).

Bearing the signature seen being added by Bargwanna,  the fractured fibreglass sold for $750.
