Toni Breidinger is one of the most prolific female motorsports athletes active today. The 24-year-old is a former USAC Speed2 Western US Asphalt Midget Series Champion and also competes part-time in the ARCA Menards Series. Apart from being a racer, Breidinger has had a successful career in modeling and is quite popular for her exploits outside the racing world. However, she recently made a rather unusual fashion revelation related to racing.

Breidinger drove for Venturini Motorsports part-time in the 2023 ARCA Menards Series and her results were quite impressive. In 13 starts, she finished in the top-5 four times and in the top-10 seven times. She was also part of three Truck Series races for Tricon Garage and managed a top-15 finish in Kansas. Besides her on-track achievements, she is also vocal about female representation in racing.

In a recent video on Instagram, Toni Breidinger gave internet sensation Caleb Simpson a tour of the Toyota Performance Center. The large layout of the performance center truly is something to marvel at as the star driver admitted that it was perhaps only her second time in it. This was a bit surprising considering she has raced quite a lot for the manufacturer in 2023.

She also candidly spoke about why it was difficult to find female drivers in NASCAR. “There’s not a lot of us. As you go through the ranks, it’s harder to kind of make it through so I feel like the number of girls kind of dwindles down,” Breidinger explained.

The two played a bit of ping pong and basketball after she revealed something that would come as a surprise to a lot of racing fans. When asked if she kept her nails on when she is in the car for a race, Toni Breidinger answered, Nails always on.

Toni Breidinger’s non-racing career saw her modeling for Victoria’s Secret, one of the biggest brands in the world of fashion. Company executives were even there to support the 24-year-old when she made her Truck Series debut in Kansas earlier this year.

It might have been her debut but the Tricon Garage driver did a fantastic job at Kansas. Driving the #1 truck, she finished P15 and received a lot of praise from racing fans. Breidinger was grateful to Victoria’s Secret for being at the venue. 

“It’s been really amazing working with [Victoria’s Secret],” she said as per Frontstretch. “They were on my truck for my debut, so it was really awesome to have a brand, that I really idolized and wanted to work with ever since I was little, be a part of such a big step for me and my career. So it was really awesome that they were willing to support me and really embrace my path.”
