Heard this earlier and didn't wanna post it. Tony is a hometown hero I grew up around him watching him race and at the kart track at Akron and another man on the plane was a teacher of mine and varsity football coach.
I'm at a loss for words right now.

I am shocked and saddened by the loss of his great personality. Very hard to believe. Tons of great memories flash through my mind.
He won the first two Rumble In Fort Wayne events when they were 100 lap features. He won the Rumble In The RCA Dome sprint car feature. Condolences to Cindy and all of his family, and friends. #GODSPEED

My thoughts and prayers are with Tony's family, friends and the entire racing community tonight!! I have known Tony since I can remember, and grew up watching him race as to everyone else. This is so heartbreaking!! He will be missed by so many, but never forgotten!

Hate to hear it. Didn't know him well....but spoke to him often. Spotted for him a time or two when he drove the Ricky Nix champ car. It's always sad to lose a big personality like his.

This is a devastating loss to the sport that we all love. Not only was Tony a great, great driver, that was almost unbeatable at times. He also had an amazing persona. He had a star quality about him. Just about every time you saw this guy, you saw that big smile of his. You could tell, he really liked being just exactly who he was and always drew a crowd where ever you saw him. And he handled that part of being a star, with class and gratitude on a similar level as Chuck Amati. And if you know me very well, a One Armed Bandit comparison is about as much praise as I can give to someone. RIP, Tony Elliott.
