In Loving Memory of Tina Clayton
It is with heavy and shattered hearts that we announce the passing of Tina Clayton, a beloved friend, teammate, and vibrant soul from Winchester, VA. Tina was a treasured member of the Bunny And The Boys Racing team and a cherished part of a close-knit community that she filled with joy, strength, and unwavering support. Her absence leaves a void that cannot be filled—but her spirit will live on in the stories, laughter, and love she gave so freely.
A Light on and off the Track
Tina wasn’t just passionate about racing—she embodied the heart of the sport. As a proud and dedicated member of Bunny And The Boys Racing, she brought more than talent to the team; she brought energy, camaraderie, and boundless encouragement. She was the first to cheer others on, the last to leave when help was needed, and the one who made sure everyone felt like family.
Those who knew her describe her as fearless and full of life, someone who could take on any challenge with grit and grace. Whether it was wrenching on cars or standing at the sidelines offering support, Tina did it all with heart and humility.
A True Friend and Teammate
Beyond the racetrack, Tina was a loyal friend and compassionate soul. She had a special gift for lifting others up, whether through a quick joke, a warm hug, or simply being present when it mattered most. Her kindness rippled through the lives of all who knew her.
She was the kind of person who remembered birthdays, checked in after hard days, and celebrated the victories—no matter how small—with genuine joy. She didn’t just show up; she stood out.
Rallying Together in Her Honor
As we grieve the unimaginable loss of such a beautiful spirit, our community is uniting to honor Tina’s memory and support her family through this difficult time. In addition to the emotional toll, the family is also facing a significant financial burden from medical expenses and final arrangements. A fundraising campaign has been launched to help ease that burden and to ensure Tina is remembered with the dignity, love, and care she deserves.
If you’d like to contribute or share in honoring her life, we invite you to support the efforts being organized in her memory. Every donation, message, and act of kindness is a tribute to the way Tina lived—with compassion, generosity, and a whole lot of heart.
Remembering Tina
Tina’s life was a story of strength, laughter, and the power of community. Though her time with us was far too short, the impact she made is everlasting. Her legacy will live on in every race we run, every engine we tune, and every friendship built in the spirit of shared passion.
She taught us that love shows up in action, that loyalty means standing by your people, and that joy can be found even in the hardest of battles.
Let us carry her memory forward with the same fire and grace she showed us every day.
💔 Rest easy, Tina. You were—and always will be—the heartbeat of our team. Forever racing with us in spirit. 💔
