Toni Breidinger headlined the Future of Women in Motorsports Summit in Phoenix
Just before International Women’s Day, Toni Breidinger was in Phoenix to promote women in motorsports and hang out with young racers. The NASCAR driver and her sponsor, Raising Cane’s even made a $100,000 donation in the process.
Folks, Raising Cane’s is putting a ton of support behind Toni Breidinger and that is a good thing. Breidinger is a star in the making in NASCAR. Currently, she competes full-time in the ARCA Menards Series for Venturini Motorsports. She also has part-time Truck Series starts.
In just a few short years, Breidinger has grown her platform exponentially. That was most recently on display as Toni and her twin sister Annie hung out in Phoenix with 13 young women who race karts.
The group spent the day with Toni, raced around with her, and participated in the Future of Women in Motorsports Summit. During the event, Breidinger helped Raising Cane’s present a $100,000 check to the Women’s Sports Foundation.
“I truly believe seeing is believing, so being able to get involved and hopefully inspire the next generation of women in motorsports is really special to me,” said Toni in a press release. “I started my racing journey in Go Karts, so I know what it’s like to be in these girls’ position. I’m excited to share with them what I’ve learned on my journey so far and help them along with theirs.”
What better week to do this than in Phoenix? Toni Breidinger will have two women teammates this weekend. Amber Balcaen, who is full-time at Venturini. Isabella Robusto will also suit up for Venturini in her ARCA Menards Series debut.

Toni Breidinger helping advance women in motorsports
In her short career, Toni Breidinger has truly made a name for herself in racing and in modeling. Not only is she a NASCAR driver, she is also a Victoria’s Secret model, and brought the two together with a special sponsorship in the Truck Series last year.
However, it goes beyond modeling and social media followers for Toni. Having spoken to her multiple times, it is clear that she believes in her racing career. She believes that she belongs and she wants to leave the door open behind her for other women to step through.
The Future of Women in Motorsports Summit is just one example of this dedication to diversifying motorsports. During her USAC days, she amassed 19 wins, the most of any woman in history. Now, she’s on a path to win an ARCA Menards Series championship.
While Daytona didn’t go according to plan, there is a lot of time left this season. Toni Breidinger is someone you should get to know if you don’t know already. While she has already accomplished a lot, she is just getting started.
