Toni Breidinger is back in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, and she’s bringing a résumé that reads like “everything but the kitchen sink.”
Rackley WAR announced Wednesday that Breidinger will pilot the team’s No. 27 Chevrolet Silverado RST for a part-time, eight-race schedule in 2026, starting with the season opener at Daytona. The campaign also hits some of the biggest tracks on the Truck Series calendar, including Texas, Dover, Nashville, North Wilkesboro, Indianapolis Raceway Park, New Hampshire, and Talladega.
“I’m incredibly excited to join Rackley WAR and compete in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series again in 2026,” Breidinger said. “This schedule includes some of the biggest races on the calendar, and I’m proud to represent partners like Raising Cane’s, CELSIUS and Sunoco. I’m ready to get to work and make the most of every opportunity.”
The 26-year-old Bay Area native arrives at Rackley WAR with a record-breaking stock car background, including 65 ARCA Menards Series starts and 27 career top-10 finishes—the most ever by a female driver in ARCA history. She spent 2025 running full-time in the Truck Series with Tricon Garage, but her skill set stretches far beyond stock cars: Breidinger has 19 USAC wins and multiple Late Model and Toyota GR Cup starts on her résumé.
“Toni is a unique talent. She brings visibility and professionalism everywhere she goes,” said Rackley WAR COO Willie Allen. “We’re proud to welcome her to the Rackley WAR family and put her in our No. 27 Chevrolet. With the support from Raising Cane’s, CELSIUS, and Sunoco, we’re confident in this program’s future, starting at Daytona in February.”
This season also marks Breidinger’s first time racing a Chevrolet in the Truck Series—a manufacturer with a storied history in the division, including 294 all-time wins and 14 driver championships. “I’m looking forward to starting this next chapter with the Team Chevy family,” Breidinger said. “With their support of Rackley WAR’s growing program, I’m confident they are going to provide me with the resources to compete for wins.”
Outside the racetrack, Breidinger has become one of NASCAR’s most recognizable personalities, appearing in campaigns for Coach, GAP, Victoria’s Secret, and Free People, as well as the first NASCAR driver ever featured in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. With appearances on Ellen, Today, and features in publications like GQ, Marie Claire, and Glamour, she’s also one of the sport’s biggest social media influencers, leading all NASCAR drivers in engagement according to Sports Business Journal.
The Truck Series campaign with Rackley WAR is as much about on-track performance as it is about visibility. Sponsorship alignments, activations, and race-specific announcements will roll out ahead of each event, but one thing is clear: Breidinger’s 2026 schedule is poised to mix speed, skill, and star power in equal measure.
