Toni Breidinger lands Tricon Garage ride for Daytona, new Celsius sponsorships

Big news for ARCA Menards Series driver Toni Breidinger. She will once again pilot the No. 1 Toyota Tundra Pro TRD for Tricon Garage. Breidinger is set to take part in the NASCAR season opener at Daytona International Superspeedway in the Craftsman Truck Series.

Toni Breidinger is going full-time ARCA racing this season. She returns to Venturini Motorsports for 2024. Last season was a breakout year for Breidinger as she took her profile and name recognition to another level.

In three starts with Tricon Garage last season, Breidinger had an average finish of about 18th place. She has a career-best in the Truck Series of P15, which came at Kansas-1 last season.

Breidinger also joins Celsius as part of an official endorsement deal. Celsius has quite the roster of drivers now from ARCA, Trucks, Xfinity, and even the Cup Series. It appears Raising Cane’s returns as a sponsor as well.

As far as prospects go in NASCAR, I’d put Toni Breidinger in the top-25 under 25 years old. She hasn’t won in a stock car, but her USAC background and marketability make her a driver to watch for the future. Superstar potential if the results start to line up with her popularity.

She earned four top-5 finishes in 2023 in the ARCA Menard’s Series, driving part-time. There is a lot to be excited about for Breidinger and this partnership with Tricon Garage.

Toni Breidinger ready for 2024 ARCA season

If you are going to drive full-time for Venturini Motorsports in the ARCA Menards Series, you have to win. Plain and simple. That organization has too much success and too many winners for excuses to make up for poor performances.

Right now, all we really have to go off of are the single-lap fastest times from the practice session ARCA had a couple of weeks back. Overall, Toni Breidinger was 2nd fastest, only behind her Venturini teammate Jake Finch.

Breidinger is ready to get going with Venturini.

“I’m really excited to run another full season with Toyota Racing and Venturini Motorsports,” Breidinger said. “Working with Toyota Racing and Venturini Motorsports has given me the tools and resources to develop as a driver.

“This is a great opportunity for me, and I’m ready to capitalize on the moment. There’s a lot that goes on behind the scenes to make this all come together, and I’m grateful for the support I’ve be able to pursue my dreams. I truly cannot thank my partners enough for believing in not only me, but female athletes. I’m ready to kick off this season with Toyota and VMS at Daytona.”

Double duty at Daytona, Toni Breidinger will race the ARCA 200 and the Truck Series NextEra Energy 250.
