NASCAR driver Toni Breidinger recently posted photos and videos on her Instagram story showing her participation in the century-old “Rose Parade” tradition. The posts gave a behind-the-scenes look at the iconic event where she represented stock car racing as part of the Women’s Sports Foundation.

She began her racing career in go-karts at the age of nine and later went on to compete in the ARCA Menards Series, where she registered 27 top-10 finishes in 65 starts. In 2023, she debuted in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series and got her best finish of 15th at Kansas Speedway.

Toni Breidinger Prepares for Full-Time NASCAR Truck Series Season in 2025
Breidinger’s appearance at the Rose Parade has come ahead of her 2025 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series debut as a full-time driver for Tricon Garage. The 25-year-old will pilot the No. 5 Toyota Tundra after following a part-time racing schedule in the previous years.
In a press release on the official website for Tricon Racing, dated November 26, 2024, Breidinger expressed how racing for Tricon was a dream come true and also thanked the three partners who helped her achieve this feat.
“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,”
“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.”
Toni Breidinger has previously raced for Venturini Motorsports and has 19 USAC wins to her name. Changing into a full-time NASCAR driver, backed by Tricon is a big step in her career. She has shown consistency and a good racing experience in the ARCA Series to back her up for the upcoming season. She has not yet won a top-five finish in the Truck series, but comes to the team with a lot of possibilities, bringing along with her sponsorships from brands like Raising Cane’s and Celsius.
