I am not sure BJR themselves have the money or interest to purchase another REC.
With three cars already prepared by BJR, the step to four is not too difficult. The chassis exists, the existing second truck can be used, BJR are already running a fourth car wildcard at many events.
This presumes, of course, Blanchard Racing is happy with the services provided by BJR. Regardless, it would be wise to upgrade the driver of the #21 racer as Jones has been rather unimpressive. Hazelwood or Lebrocq would likely be an upgrade, and the sponsors they bring would be most welcome to top up the Cooldrive money.
The BJR cars are clearly fast with Slade and Percat often running in the top 10. Hazelwood or Lebrocq could certainly do a lot worse than racing a BJR prepared rocketship!
