Toni Breidinger will make her full-time NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series debut with TRICON Garage in 2025. Breidinger will drive the No. 5 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro with sponsorship from Raising Cane's, CELSIUS and Sunoco.
The 25-year-old Bay Area native has driven a part-time schedule with TRICON Garage the last two seasons and made history in 2023 as the highest-placing female debut driver in series history when she finished 15th at Kansas Speedway.
"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 wouldn't have this opportunity if it wasn't for Toyota, Raising Cane's, CELSIUS, and Sunoco. I'm beyond grateful to have these partners and team in my corner to take this next step in my career."
Breidinger became the first Arabic-American woman to drive in a national NASCAR series when she drove for Young's Motorsports in 2021. She has four career starts in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series over the past two seasons and in 2024 she raced full-time in the ARCA Menards Series with Venturini Motorsports.
In 2024 she amassed 11 Top 10 finishes in 20 races and placed fourth in the ARCA Menards Series championship. She has 65 career starts in the ARCA Menards Series and has accumulated four Top 5 finishes and 27 Top 10 finishes. Her 27 Top 10 finishes are the most for a female driver in ARCA Menards Series history. Her diverse racing resume includes 19 USAC victories and multiple starts in Late Model Stocks and Toyota GR Cup.
She joins Corey Haim and Tanner Gray as full-time drivers for TRICON Garage. Her crew chief and remaining lineup will be announced at a later date. TRICON Garage fields five full-time NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series entries and serves as the flagship Truck Series partner of Toyota Racing Development. Based in Mooresville, North Carolina, TRICON Racing has become a hotbed for developing NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series talent.
Beyond racing, she has appeared in high profile modeling campaigns for the GAP, Victoria's Secret and recently became the first NASCAR driver to appear in Sports Illustrated's Swimsuit issue. According to Sports Business Journal, she leads all NASCAR drivers in engagement and social media value with over five million followers combined on Instagram and TikTok.
The NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series returns for the 2025 season with the Fresh From Florida 250 at Daytona International Speedway. The green flag is set to drop at 7:30 pm. (ET) on Friday, February 14.
