Victoria's Secret model Toni Breidinger to race full time in NASCAR

TRICON Garage team has confirmed the addition of Toni Breidinger as a full-time driver for the 2025 season of the NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series. Breidinger will compete in the series aiming to deliver results for the team behind the wheel of the Toyota Tundra TRD Pro number 5, backed by her sponsors Raising Cane’s, CELSIUS, and Sunoco. The 25-year-old driver will join established teammates Corey Heim and Tanner Gray. In the 2024 season, Heim finished in the runner-up position, just behind champion Ty Majeski.

Toni Breidinger, who made her Truck Series debut in 2023, shared her excitement about this new opportunity, highlighting that it is the result of a 15-year effort. "Racing full-time with TRICON is a dream come true," she said. The driver expressed her gratitude towards Toyota and her sponsors, emphasizing the importance of their support in taking this crucial step in her career.

Breidinger has extensive experience in motorsport, with 65 starts in the ARCA Menards Series with Venturini Motorsports. In the 2024 season, she finished fourth overall, with eleven top 10s and achieving her best result of sixth place on two occasions: at Berlin, Michigan, and Springfield, Illinois. Her performance in ARCA has been fundamental to her development as a driver, providing the necessary platform to advance in American motorsport.

Breidinger’s first Truck Series race took place at Kansas Speedway in 2023, where she achieved a fifteenth place finish in her debut, the best result achieved by a female driver in her first series race. Throughout her career, Breidinger has also been recognized for her contribution to diversity in motorsports. In 2021, she received the Developmental Series Driver Award at the Drive for Diversity Awards, standing out as the first Arab-American woman to compete in a NASCAR-sanctioned event.

Outside of racing, Breidinger has pursued a career as both a model and a NASCAR driver, represented by IMG Models, Roman Empire Management, and Loop Legal. She has worked in campaigns for brands such as GAP, Victoria’s Secret, and Free People.

With the start of the 2025 season, Breidinger will be ready for her first full championship in one of NASCAR's most demanding categories, seeking to solidify her career and contribute results for TRICON Garage.
