“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.”
NASCAR Pinty’s Series Champion Cayden Lapevich will lead Breidinger’s No. 25 Toyota team serving as crew chief.

“Toni is a great driver to work with and a real asset to our team. I expect good things from her and the team this year.”
A full list of sponsors will be released in the upcoming weeks.
