GRRL! SUMMARY:
- TONI BREIDINGER owns 19 USAC victories—the most by any woman in the sanctioning body’s 60‑plus‑year history. She claimed the 2016 Western US Asphalt Midget Championship at 15, building a résumé through short‑track volume and elite open‑wheel competition.
- Her 2023 Truck Series debut at Kansas delivered a 15th‑place finish, the best by a woman in series history. She ran two NASCAR races in one day that season, demonstrating conditioning and focus few drivers attempt.
- BREIDINGER has logged 40‑plus ARCA starts and 4,000‑plus competitive laps, mastering superspeedway drafting at Daytona and Talladega while earning multiple top‑10s. She became the first Arab‑American woman in a national NASCAR touring series in 2021.
- Women account for less than 10% of ARCA starts over the past decade. Fewer than 10 women have competed in Trucks. BREIDINGER’s sustained record provides young female drivers a concrete benchmark in a sport still fighting for gender equity.
