Toni Breidinger has made three ARCA Menards Series starts in 2022 while driving for Venturini Motorsports. Now, she will take on one of the three national NASCAR series for the first time.
According to an announcement made on April 26, Breidinger will take on the Craftsman Truck Series for the first time in her career. She will join Tricon Garage at Kansas Speedway, and she will drive the No. 1 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro. Victoria’s Secret will serve as her primary partner.
“When I was younger, I dreamed of being a racecar driver and a Victoria’s Secret model,” Breidinger said in a press release. “I was told I couldn’t do both, but here I am — I’ll be driving the No. 1 Victoria’s Secret Toyota Tundra TRD Pro at Kansas!
“I’m endlessly grateful to the Victoria’s Secret team for believing in not only me, but women in sports. A huge thanks to Toyota Racing Development and TRICON Garage for this opportunity. It’s going to be a learning curve, but I’m ready to soak up every bit of it.”
