The ARCA Menards Series Season is ready to start as 50 drivers will try to make the season-opening race at Daytona. One of those drivers is Toni Breidinger, a Victoria's Secret model, who is ready to take on the series full-time in 2024.

Breidinger has made three Craftsman Truck Series and 37 ARCA starts in her career and she is preparing for her fourth ARCA race at Daytona.
"I feel like I improved a lot," Breidinger told Benjamine Branscum from TobyChristie.com. "I think pretty much every single track that I went to I improved. For Me, that was a good confidence booster that I haven't stalled out. That I still have more in me."
In her budding driving career, Breidinger has four top-five finishes, including a career-best third-place finish at Kansas in 2023, and seven top-10 finishes. She also completed nearly 99 percent of the laps she ran in 13 starts last year.
2024 is a big year for Breidinger, who also enjoys one of the largest social media presences among stock-car drivers. With Celsius as her sponsor, Breidinger will compete full-time in the ARCA Series with Venturini Motorsports this season.

"I feel like all the brands that I work with are really authentic to myself," Breidinger explained. "If you've ever seen, you've probably seen me holding a Celsius in my hand, even before our partnership. It's really cool to work with brands that I actually genuinely love... I love Raising Canes, I love Celsius, and Victoria's Secret has been one of my favorite brands for as long as I can remember. I'm very fortunate to have brands that are so authentic to me."
While some might discredit her as some did Danica Patrick early in her own career, Breidinger's put in a lot of work, and it's paying off, as she embarks on a full-time season with one of ARCA's top teams. Breidinger will certainly be a driver to watch this season in the ARCA Menards Series.
