Toni Breidinger is set to make her full-time debut in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series with TRICON Garage in 2025, driving the No. 5 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro. This exciting new chapter in her career is backed by sponsorships from Raising Cane's, CELSIUS, and Sunoco.
The 25-year-old Bay Area native has spent the past two seasons racing part-time with TRICON Garage, but her historic performance in 2023 has propelled her to a full-time role. That year, she made history by becoming the highest-placing female debut driver in the series, finishing 15th at Kansas Speedway.
A Dream Come True for Breidinger
Racing full-time with TRICON Garage has been a long-standing goal for Breidinger. “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," said Breidinger. She credits her success to the support of her sponsors.
Breidinger’s Career Highlights
Breidinger’s journey to the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series has been filled with groundbreaking achievements. In 2021, she became the first Arabic-American woman to compete in a national NASCAR series when she raced for Young's Motorsports. Over the last two seasons, she has had four starts in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series. In 2024, she raced full-time in the ARCA Menards Series with Venturini Motorsports, earning an impressive 11 Top 10 finishes in 20 races and finishing fourth in the championship standings.

For the 2025 season, Breidinger will join Corey Haim and Tanner Gray as full-time drivers at TRICON Garage, a team known for developing top NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series talent. TRICON Garage, based in Mooresville, North Carolina, fields five full-time entries in the series and serves as the flagship partner of Toyota Racing Development. The crew chief and remaining lineup for Breidinger’s team will be revealed at a later date.
