Toni Breidinger joins Rackley WAR in a pivotal change for her NASCAR career, as she departs Toyota Racing Development and embraces a part-time schedule with the Chevrolet-backed team for 2026. This transition marks a significant moment, with Breidinger set to compete in over eight NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series races, including opening the season at Daytona.
This latest chapter follows Breidinger’s substantial run with Toyota Racing Development, which she joined in 2021. Upon her debut in the ARCA Menards Series, she achieved 27 top-10 finishes across 65 races—a record for female drivers in the category. Her impressive consistency eventually led her to the Craftsman Truck Series in 2023, before scoring a full-time seat with Tricon Garage for 2025.
Now, Breidinger steps into a part-time drive with Rackley WAR, piloting the No. 27 Chevrolet. Her upcoming race schedule includes appearances at marquee events such as Daytona and Talladega, showcasing not only her adaptability but also her continued relevance in a highly competitive field. Key sponsorship from Raising Cane’s, CELSIUS, and Sunoco will further bolster her presence both on and off the track.
Breidinger Shares Excitement and Ambition for New Opportunity
On her latest move, Breidinger expressed an enthusiastic outlook about her future with Rackley WAR and competing with Chevrolet. She emphasized the magnitude of this transition and her eagerness to make an immediate impact in highly anticipated events throughout the season.
“I’m incredibly excited to join Rackley WAR and compete in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series again in 2026, 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.

Recognizing Chevrolet and Rackley WAR’s Commitment to Success
Breidinger’s previous season saw her behind the wheel for Tricon Garage, driving the No. 5 Toyota. While she experienced a mix of challenges and successes, her roots in the ARCA Menards Series remain among her most decorated, but her sights are firmly set on breaking new ground in the Truck Series with Chevrolet.
She has openly acknowledged Chevrolet’s reputation for dedication to motorsports and commended the resources promised by her new team, suggesting confidence in their collective ability to chase race victories throughout the schedule.
“I’m looking forward to starting this next chapter with the Team Chevy family, Chevrolet’s passion for motorsports and commitment to performance is unrivaled. With their support of Rackley WAR’s growing program, I’m confident they are going to provide me with the resources to compete for wins.” — Toni Breidinger
Her optimism is well-founded, as Rackley WAR’s increasing stature in the NASCAR paddock aligns with her competitive targets. As she joins their lineup, she aspires not only to continue her own progress but also to validate the team’s upward trajectory in the Truck Series.
What Lies Ahead: Breidinger Targets Daytona and Beyond
With the start of the 2026 NASCAR season fast approaching, Breidinger will headline at the Daytona season opener before tackling famous venues like Talladega. Her journey is bolstered by the backing of sponsors such as CELSIUS, Raising Cane’s, and Sunoco, and she remains one of the sport’s standout female competitors. Breidinger’s transition from Toyota to Chevrolet is set to bring new challenges, but her history of breaking barriers and delivering strong results present a compelling case for her continued rise in the sport.
This major move signals not just a new team and manufacturer for Breidinger but represents a chance for her and Rackley WAR to make a mark at the sharp end of the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series. With the support of her sponsors and the resources at her disposal, Breidinger is determined to make the most of her opportunities and inspire others in her continuing pursuit of racing success.
