Toni Breidinger Joins Rackley WAR for Limited 2026 NASCAR Races

On Wednesday, it was revealed that Toni Breidinger will compete with Rackley WAR for a series of eight NASCAR Truck Series races in 2026, with her debut scheduled at the Daytona International Speedway. The Toni Breidinger Rackley WAR 2026 partnership marks a new chapter for Breidinger, who is set to drive the No. 27 Chevrolet Silverado RST at some of the sport’s most iconic tracks.

Breidinger, previously with Tricon Garage for the Truck Series, did not manage a top-10 finish last year, recording her best performance with an 18th-place at Rockingham Speedway. Despite her strong reputation from the ARCA Menards Series, this led to her departure from Tricon Garage. The new deal with Rackley WAR will see her participate in races at Daytona, Texas, Dover, Nashville, North Wilkesboro, Indianapolis Raceway Park, New Hampshire, and Talladega, according to Bob Pockrass of FOX Sports.

“I’m incredibly excited to join Rackley WAR and compete in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series again in 2026,”

Breidinger said in a press release.

“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.”

Racing Aspirations Take Precedence Over Modeling

Although Breidinger has gained recognition in the modeling world, she remains unwavering in her commitment to racing. Her journey in motorsports began at an early age and has always been her chief passion, even as her visibility grew through modeling work and social media.

“I always say like I’ve been doing this since I was nine,”

Breidinger said, via Newsweek.

“I think a lot of times people think I just kind of woke up one day like a couple years ago and decided to do this because I had a social media following and I was a model before, but I’m like, ‘You know, this started with racing. This was my first love, and it still is.”

Breidinger’s modeling highlights include appearing in the 2025 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue, joining a rookie group that featured high-profile athletes such as WNBA’s Cameron Brink and LPGA golfer Nelly Korda. Even with this milestone, Breidinger’s focus is set squarely on her racing career as she prepares for the upcoming NASCAR season.

What the Future Holds for Breidinger in 2026

NASCAR fans will watch Breidinger’s return on February 13, when she lines up for the Truck Series opener at Daytona. Her new agreement with Rackley WAR and strong sponsorships from Raising Cane’s, CELSIUS, and Sunoco provide her with support for the year ahead. As she returns to tracks like Texas, Dover, and Talladega, the motorsports community will be keen to see if her persistence and renewed opportunity yield improved results in the highly competitive Truck Series field.
