Toni Breidinger signs with Rackley WAR for reduced program in Trucks 2026

Toni Breidinger's program in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series is significantly reduced for 2026. The 26-year-old Californian will go from competing full-time to participating in only eight races with the Rackley WAR team, a major decrease compared to her first full season in 2025 with Tricon Garage.

The numbers explain the change. Breidinger finished 2025 in 23rd position in the championship with an average finish of 25.4 positions in her 25 starts. She was the last ranked among all drivers who completed the full schedule. Her best result came at Rockingham with an 18th place finish, far from the 15th place she achieved in her series debut at Kansas 2023.

The notable aspect of this move is that Breidinger keeps her sponsor package intact. Raising Cane's, CELSIUS, and Sunoco continue to support her program, now in the #27 Chevrolet Silverado. This sustained corporate backing suggests that commercial partners see value in her presence beyond immediate on-track results.

The 2026 schedule includes Daytona, Texas, Dover, Nashville, North Wilkesboro, Indianapolis Raceway Park, New Hampshire, and Talladega. The selection combines high-speed ovals with intermediate and short tracks, starting with the season-opening race at Daytona in February.

Previous trajectory in development series

The reduction in number of races differs from the progression Breidinger had shown in previous categories. In the ARCA Menards Series she accumulated 65 starts with Venturini Motorsports, achieving 27 top 10 finishes and placing fourth in the 2024 championship. She also has a resume that includes 19 wins in USAC and experience in Late Models and the Toyota GR Cup.

Rackley WAR operates from Mooresville, North Carolina, and is completing its sixth season in the Truck Series. The organization had success in regional series during 2025 with 12 wins in Late Models. Breidinger will be a teammate to Dawson Sutton in the team's truck program.

Breidinger will race with Chevrolet for the first time in her NASCAR career. In 2025 she completed 25 races with Toyota without achieving any top 10 finishes, her best position was 18th at Rockingham. The season starts at Daytona International Speedway in February.
