Six Women Take on Daytona This Weekend Led by NATALIE DECKER & TONI BREIDINGER

February 13, 2026

• NATALIE DECKER returns to the O’Reilly Auto Parts Series driving the No. 35 Chevrolet after taking time off to have her son Levi. She holds the best-ever finish by a woman in NASCAR’s top three series with a fifth place in trucks at Daytona in 2020, and she’s the only woman competing in the second-tier series this weekend.
• TONI BREIDINGER switches teams from Tricon Garage to Rackley WAR for her second season in trucks, piloting the No. 27 Chevy for eight races starting with Daytona. Her rookie year was rough with an 18th-place best finish, but she’s got fresh backing from Raising Cane’s and a new crew chief situation to turn things around.
• ISABELLA ROBUSTO emerges as the woman most likely to break through with a win after her stellar ARCA rookie season that included nine top-fives and fourth in points. The 21-year-old made history last year with the best finish ever by a woman at Talladega (third place) and returns to Daytona in the No. 55 Toyota looking to improve on last year’s 21st-place result.
• Three other women round out the field: TAYLOR REIMER makes her Daytona ARCA debut with an impressive 7-of-8 top-10 record in limited starts, ALLI OWENS ends a decade-long hiatus from NASCAR competition, and LOGAN MISURACA leverages her NASCAR Racing Experience instructor background for her first competitive Daytona race since 2023.
