Tribute to Tony

On August 20, Tony Sorensen passed away during the Vegas to Reno race. It was a bittersweet day as it was his first time driving the truck in a race, and with his son TJ as his co-driver. My heart goes out to TJ, his daughter Kristin, wife Wendy, his buddy Harvey and the Riot Racing crew. He was an amazing racer, a great father and friend. He will be with us always. "Get in that truck. You're gonna shit kittens."

Amazing Erica. You are a truly talented photographer. Your final photo of Tony was how I last remember seeing him. Continue snapping, a Pulitzer is in your future.
