Toni Breidinger is the first female NASCAR racer since Danica Patrick, that has influence beyond the sport and attracts a new set of fans to stock car racing. The Tricon Garage Truck Series driver in a successful model, a representative of minorities and at 26, young enough to have a good career in the sport.

After the 2025 Trick Season, that marked Toni Breidinger’s maiden full-time season in the sport, she is looking to create a legacy of her own in the sport. In a recent interview, it was revealed that she wants that legacy to something that creates a welcoming environment for female racers that will open new paths.

There’s so much I want to achieve, career-wise, but I think if I look at something as my legacy, I want to hopefully create a more welcoming environment, hopefully pave a path for females in the sport.

Toni Breidinger told SI.com.

There have been moments in the 2025 season where she learned that it’s possible to achieve the goal. She recalled how many young girls have come up to her this season and talked to her about she being as inspiration for them race.

I think that’s been the most rewarding thing for me this year is just the young girls coming up to me and saying that I inspire them or that they’re starting to race because of me… Don’t be afraid to be the first you.

Toni Breidinger added.

Toni Breidinger learned a lot from the tough 2025 season

The full-time debut season with Toyota team Tricon Garage was tough for the racer. Her best finish was a P18, with two top 20 finishes and 13 top 25 efforts being the story of the No:5 team. It’s not so bad numbers, as long as her result isn’t compared to championship winning teammate Corey Heim, who won 11 races. But these challenges helped her to learn more and gain confidence for 2026.

I honestly learned so much, and so much more than I would have ever expected to learn… I think the biggest thing for me is just the confidence that I gained throughout the season…

Toni Breidinger said.

Perseverance and survival are the two important factors she has learned in the 2026 season. The small bounce back in performance late in the season gives her a lot of confidence for the next year, not just for racing but for her non-racing ventures as well.

And one of the biggest things I learned is that there were a lot of challenges, and I think the way that I was able to overcome them and get back up and get back up stronger is something I’ll really take away into next season.

Toni Breidinger added.

At the end of the day, 2025 season wasn’t expected to be nothing more than a learning curve for the race and the real challenge is going to the newt year. More consistency and competitive runs will be expected of her, with the strong TRD Truck at her disposal. Her career might be in jeopardy if next year ends the same way as this season.
