Toni Breidinger to race in NASCAR full-time in 2025
MOORESVILLE, N.C. — Toni Breidinger will race full-time in NASCAR in 2025 with TRICON Garage in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series.
The organization made the announcement Tuesday. Breidinger will race its No. 5 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro full-time with support from Raising Cane’s, Celsius and Sunoco.
“Racing full-time with TRICON is a dream for me. It’s been a 15-year process to get here but I’m so excited for this moment and ready to capitalize on it,” said Breidinger. “I’m beyond grateful to have these partners and team in my corner to take this next step in my career.”
The 25-year-old driver has raced for TRICON in each of the last two seasons. In 2023, she finished 15th at Kansas Speedway in her series debut – the best for a woman in series history – and 17th two starts later at Nashville Superspeedway.
Most recently, Breidinger earned 11 Top-10 finishes in her 20-race full-time stint in the ARCA Menards Series last year on the heels of four Top-5s and seven Top-10s the year before. In total, she has 27 Top-10s, which is the most for a woman in that series’ history.
Breidinger also has 19 USAC victories and multiple starts in late model stocks and Toyota GR Cup.
Breidinger has also appeared in high-profile modeling campaigns for brands like GAP, Victoria’s Secret and Free People. Most recently, she became the first NASCAR driver to appear in Sports Illustrated’s Swimsuit issue – and reportedly leads all drivers in engagement and value on social media.
