Toni Breidinger might be new to the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series full time, but she’s no stranger to turning heads—on and off the track. Before jumping behind the wheel of her No. 5 TRICON Garage Toyota at Texas, she did something a little different.
She gave fans a behind-the-scenes peek into her pre-race routine with a stylish GRWM (Get Ready With Me) video on Instagram. And it’s safe to say, she brought both the fire and finesse.
Race Day Beauty Meets High-Speed Bravery
In the reel, Breidinger is seen casually glamming herself up with CoverGirl cosmetic products, showing off her easy-going charm and beauty game before race mode kicked in. The best part about it was that she wasn’t just putting on makeup—she was showing her fans the other part of her life.
One minute she’s in a puffer jacket and cargo pants at a CoverGirl event, and the next, she’s flying down the track chasing a top finish in the Craftsman Truck Series.
Breidinger’s not just a driver, she’s also a signed IMG model, content creator, and, a total style icon in American motorsports. With 2.6 million Instagram followers and partnership with brands such as CoverGirl, 818 Tequila (Kendall Jenner’s brand), Celsius, Raising Cane’s, and Sunoco, she’s got a lot on her plate—and she makes it look effortless.
Earlier this year, she appeared in Sports Illustrated’s Swimsuit Edition, making history as the first NASCAR driver to do so. And when she’s not showing out at photo shoots or red-carpet events, she’s chasing better results on the racetrack. Her weekend in Texas didn’t go as planned—she had a DNF and finished 26th—but she still shared a bright smile and positive energy with her fans.
It’s not been an easy rookie season. She’s currently sitting 23rd in standings with 104 points to her name. Crashes at Daytona and struggles at Bristol have tested her, but she’s still hanging tough.
After all, grit and growth go hand in hand in this sport. She has showed flashes of potential in the past, finishing as high as fourth in the ARCA Menards championship standings.
Toni Breidinger Has All Eyes on Kansas
Now, the series heads to Kansas Speedway next weekend—a track where Breidinger actually made some noise in 2023, with a strong 15th place finish in a part-time role. That’s got fans hopeful she can bounce back with something big this time around. And knowing Breidinger, she’s probably already packing her bags with racing gear and runway-ready looks.
As she keeps working toward better finishes and gaining ground in her rookie campaign, one thing’s for sure—Breidinger is blazing her own unique trail in NASCAR. And whether she’s in a helmet or high heels, she’s doing it her way.
