“Racing full-time with Tricon is a dream for me,” Breidinger said in a statement, via NASCAR.com. “It’s been a 15-year process to get here, but I’m so excited for this moment and ready to capitalize on it. I wouldn’t have this opportunity if it wasn’t for Toyota, Raising Cane’s, CELSIUS and Sunoco. I’m beyond grateful to have these partners and team in my corner to take this next step in my career.”
