Toni Breidinger announces 2025 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit feature, reveals sneak peek

In the upcoming 2025 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, ARCA and NASCAR driver Toni Breidinger will be featured. Breidinger is a Victoria’s Secret model on top of her racing career and is always wearing something fashionable at the track.

Toni Breidinger is fresh off a fourth-place finish in the ARCA Menards Series standings. She has made a few Craftsman Truck Series starts in her career as well, her last coming at the Daytona opener in 2024.

If you follow her on social media, you know that she often travels for her modeling career. Now the two sides of Toni, athlete and model, have collided.

“It’s an honor to be featured in the 2025 [Sports Illustrated Swimsuit] issue, Breidinger wrote on social media. “It’s very surreal to be in this issue along side [sic] so many inspiring athletes. Thank you a million to everyone who made this dream of mine come true!!”

Toni Breidinger is a Toyota development driver. Her time in USAC as she learned to race and came up through the ranks was filled with success. She has shown improvement in ARCA and I would say she had impressive Truck Series starts in 2023.

While we don’t know what she has planned for 2025 yet, there are a few seats out there. Toyota could move her up to the Truck Series. However, funding is a big question. During the ARCA season, she ran a couple of white paint schemes with little to no sponsorship.

She did pick up quite a few sponsors in the second half of the season. Surprisingly, sharing multiple sponsors with Ford Cup Series driver Todd Gilliland.

What’s next for Toni Breidinger in NASCAR?

It is hard to say what will happen with Toni Breidinger in 2025. I could see her returning to ARCA, although I am not sure there is much more that she is going to learn at this point from that series.

There are two trucks that are open over at Tricon Garage. The No. 1 is likely going to be a multi-driver truck like it has been for the last two years. However, that truck did have Hailie Deegan full-time for two seasons before that.

Then there is the No. 17 truck. Taylor Gray is going up to the Xfinity Series. So, that truck is open for 2025 as far as we know. I think Breidinger would be a good fit at Tricon, if given support and time.

Toni Breidinger is a star waiting in NASCAR. If she has even moderate success in the Truck Series, she is going to take off. With millions of followers on social media, Breidinger could be a very valuable talent in the coming years.
