Toni Breidinger is a stock car racing driver and Victoria’s Secret model. She competes part-time for Venturini Motorsports, driving the No.55 Toyota Camry in the ARCA Menards Series. Breidinger went viral last year when she announced she was joining Victoria’s Secret as a model. Now they have taken their partnership a step further. The 23-year-old is set to make her NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series debut with Victoria’s Secret as her primary sponsor.
Breidinger was featured in Victoria’s Secret’s 2022 Fall Collection Campaign. She will join the Tricon Garage and drive the No.1 Toyota Tundra for the upcoming race at Kansas Speedway on May 6th. The 23-year-old will be the first Arab American woman to compete in the series. Breidinger also races full-time in the Toyota GR Cup. And she has eight top-10 finishes in the ARCA Menards Series so far.
Toni Breidinger, expected to be the next Danica Patrick, has always dreamed of being a race car driver and Victoria’s Secret model. She confessed that she was told she couldn’t do both. But here she is; she will drive the No.1 Victoria’s Secret Toyota Tundra TRD Pro at Kansas. Breidinger stated, “I’m endlessly grateful to the Victoria’s Secret team for believing in me and 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.”
Breidinger, who dreams of becoming one of greatest female drivers of all time, will do double duty at Kansas on May 6th. She will compete in the ARCA Series in the morning and Truck Series at night. While it seems like a hectic schedule, this is what she loves; it is her passion. Her best result in ARCA this season was at Talladega. She finished 12th. With 35 career starts, her best finish was eighth last season.
