Toni Breidinger has secured a full-time NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series seat for 2025 with TRICON Garage. Fans have been quick to react to the news on social media with some making an awkward link to former NASCAR and IndyCar driver Danica Patrick.
Breidinger has previously competed in the ARCA Menards Series and part-time in the Craftsman Truck Series. The Arabic-American driver currently holds the record for the most top-tens of a female in any of the NASCAR series with 27 top-ten finishes.
As well as Breidinger’s racing success, she has gained sponsorships from huge names such as CELSIUS, Raising Cane’s, and Victoria Secret. This, along with her over 5 million followers on Instagram and TikTok combined, makes her an attractive option for TRICON Garage.
Commenting on her new contract for 2025, Breidinger explained, as previously reported by Newsweek Sports:
