Breidinger, a 24-year-old Hillsborough, California native, has won 19 USAC races in her career, which is a record for a woman. In addition, she is a Victoria’s Secret model.

NASCAR Cup Series sponsors have already expressed interest in Breidinger, according to Adam Stern of Sports Business Journal. That’s despite the fact that there are only three Truck Series stars and none who have competed in the Xfinity Series.

“(Agent Alvina) Roman said that she’s had sponsors in the Cup Series tell her that they want to sponsor Breidinger in 2025 but can’t do anything yet due to having exclusive team deals already locked in,” Stern reports. “She declined to reveal the brands. Breidinger competed earlier this year for the Toyota-affiliated Tricon Garage, but her plans for 2024 are not yet clear.”

“Social media is where young athletes tend to drive value for partners these days, and the quality of Breidinger’s slickly produced content rivals or exceeds that of many full-time drivers in NASCAR’s top series,” Stern states. “She works with freelance videographer Tyler Cresser on her social video content. On social media, she’s turned into a genuine powerhouse — particularly on the buzzy, youthful platforms Instagram, TikTok and Snapchat. While she only has about 32,000 followers on X (the former Twitter), she has 736,000 followers on Instagram, the second most of any active NASCAR driver behind another woman, Hailie Deegan…”

To her credit, Breidinger has performed admirably in each of her three Truck Series outings. She has completed every race, which Truck Series fans will attest is not always simple, and twice she has been in the top 20.

It’s possible that NASCAR will discover a new star soon. Fans should also become familiar with Toni Breidinger’s name.
