ARCA Series regular and “Sport’s Illustrated” swimsuit model Toni Breidinger will be joining the 2025 Craftsman Truck Series lineup full time.
Her other modeling gigs include Gap, Victoria’s Secret and Free People. She is the first race car driver to model for “Sports Illustrated”.
She will be driving the number five Tricon Garage truck. She has made a few starts for Tricon over the past couple of seasons.
Dean Thompson was the previous driver of the number five truck.
Breidinger spoke via statement on moving up to the Truck Series saying, “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.”
She has made 65 starts in the ARCA Series over the past couple of years and finished in fourth place this season with eleven top 10 finishes.
Breidinger is the first Arab-American woman to compete in any NASCAR sanctioned events.
