With her 2.7 Million followers, this makes Breidinger the most-followed NASCAR driver on Instagram.
Breidinger has raced at the ARCA Tracks before in multiple series. Toni raced at Toledo with the USAC Silver Crown Series in the 2018 running of the Hemelgarn/SuperFitness Rollie Beale Classic presented by Marco's Pizza, and once more at Toledo in the ARCA Menards Series championship race at Toledo Speedway in 2022.
Breaking barriers on and off-track, Breidinger is the first Arab-American female racer to compete in NASCAR. She currently stands eighth in the ARCA Menards Series points standings, battling as a part of Venturini Motorsports to take home her first ARCA Menards Series Championship.
Breidinger has announced plans to run the full ARCA Menards Series schedule with Venturini Motorsports in 2024, which includes the Owens Corning 200 at Toledo Speedway in October.
The California native has also competed in the NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series with TRICON Garage, taking a top fifteen finish in her first race at Kansas in 2023.
Breidinger looks to have a strong performance under the helm of Venturini Motorsports, a team with a long history at Flat Rock Speedway.
Venturini Motorsports founders and co-owners Bill and Cathy Venturini earned their first career ARCA Menards Series victory at Flat Rock Speedway in June 1983. Bill would win 12 races in his career as a driver in the ARCA Menards Series and is the 1987 and 1991 series champion. Cathy Venturini, his crew chief and over-the-wall pit crew member, was also the championship-winning car owner in 1987 and 1991.
Current team co-owner Billy Venturini jumped behind the wheel at Flat Rock in 2023, returning to the drivers seat for the first time in over a decade to race the #25 Toyota Camry, finishing fourth in a race won by Minnesota's William Sawalich. This weekend, Billy will be instead coaching his drivers Toni and Gio Ruggerio, looking for a big win in the Motor City's Home Track.
