“Racing full-time with Tricon is a dream for me” – Toni Breidinger

Toni Breidinger is known for her successful background in the ARCA Series and her trailblazing role as one of the first Arab-American women in NASCAR. She has made 65 starts in the ARCA Menards Series since making her debut in 2018 with Venturini Motorsports.

Breidinger had an amazing 2024 season in the ARCA ranks, as she scored a record 11 top-10 finishes in 20 starts and finished the season in fourth place in the final championship standings.

In a press release from the team, Breidinger revealed that it’s a 15-year process to race full-time in the NASCAR Truck Series.

Sharing his emotions on a full-time truck ride with TRICON, Breidinger said:

“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 made her NASCAR Truck Series debut at the Kansas Speedway in May 2023, where she racked up a 15th-place finish, the best finish by a female driver on a debut in series history. Heading into 2025, she had made four appearances in the Truck Series over the past two seasons, all with TRICON Garage.
