After coming off her best statistical season to date in the ARCA Menards Series, Toni Breidinger is set to return to full-time competition, teaming up once again with Venturini Motorsports.
The Hillsborough, CA native is set to get behind the wheel of the No. 25 Toyota Camry for the team beginning at the Daytona International Speedway on February 17th.
“I’m really excited to run another full season with Toyota Racing and Venturini Motorsports,” says Breidinger. “Working with Toyota Racing and Venturini Motorsports has given me the tools and resources to develop as a driver.”

The 24-year-old last ran full-time back in 2022 with the team, and took a part-time role for 2023 where she had four top fives, seven top 10s, a career-best of third at the fall Kansas race, and a ninth-place points finish in the ARCA Menards Series.
“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 been 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, Breidinger added.
Leading the team from atop the pit box is NASCAR Pinty’s Series Champion Cayden Lapevich, who worked a lot with Toni last season.
“It’s great to have Toni back with the team full-time. Her growth behind the wheel is as impressive as I’ve seen with any other driver throughout the years – she’s really come into her own,” says team owner Billy Venturini.
You can catch Toni in VMS No. 25 at Daytona on February 17th at 1:30 PM ET live on Fox Sports 1.
