“Baja breathes different the morning before a race.”
This sketch was captured on the ground at the 2025 Baja 1000, just before the dust lifted and the adrenaline took over. Kristen Matlock and her Polaris sat ready — calm, focused, built for war in the desert.
No staging. No studio. Just a real moment, caught in the wild. A pencil, a camera, and the hum of engines waiting to come alive.
Sometimes the best stories are drawn before the race even starts.
