NASCAR star Toni Breidinger poses in a stunning red dress on ‘a holly jolly Christmas’

Antoinette Marie Breidinger, also known as Toni Breidinger, is an American stock car racing driver and a Victoria's Secret model. Recently, she took to her Instagram and shared her outfit for Christmas with her fans. She captioned the post with cheerful holiday wishes.

Born on July 14, 1999, in San Francisco, Breidinger comes from a Lebanese and German family. She is the first Arab-American woman to drive in NASCAR. Her interest in racing rose when her father took her and her twin sister for a go-kart session when she was nine years old. This incident sparked the journey of a model-turned-stock car racing driver.

Breidinger had an impressive season this year. She finished fourth in the ARCA Menards Series and is enjoying her off-season with her model gigs. She enjoyed Christmas posing in front of a tree in a matching festive outfit. She wore a shiny red sleeveless top paired with black glittery shorts and black stockings.

Breidinger decorated the Christmas tree with various kinds of ornaments, starting with a red ribbon matching her top, followed by fake snow and lighting. She also added colorful Christmas bulbs and added some artificial flowers. She also clicked an image using one of the bulbs as a mirror and captioned the post:

"It all started in go-karts": Toni Breidinger on how she fell in love with racing

The model-turned-racer Toni Breidinger was featured in an interview with Arab News in 2021 and revealed how she got involved in the realm of racing cars as a profession. She recalled the moment with her father and stated:

"It all started in go-carts," Breidinger said. "I just went go-carting as a kid just for fun. I was nine years old. My dad took me and my twin sister Annie just up to the go-cart track for the weekend, just like a family activity."

“He wasn’t trying to make anything come from it. But I just fell in love with it and so did my sister. So, we just started racing and traveling all over the country for races. Just from there climbing up the racing ladder," she added.

Breidinger debuted in the ARCA Menards Series in 2018 at the Herr's Potato Chips 200 at Madison. Now, she is a full-time ARCA Menards Series driver and part-time East and West Series driver. She has competed in 65 races in her five-year career in the series, securing 27 top-ten finishes.

Toni Breidinger has also competed as a part-time driver in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series under the Tricon Garage banner and ran in four races in a two-year stint. She ran her first race in 2023 at the Heart of America 200 at Kansas Speedway, where she finished fifteenth on the grid.
