Toni Breidinger will take part in the American Cornhole League’s charity event, Cornhole for a Cause, scheduled for this Saturday in Rock Hill, South Carolina. Known as the first Arab-American woman to compete full-time in any NASCAR national series, Breidinger currently drives the No. 5 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro for TRICON Garage in the Craftsman Truck Series. This appearance highlights her ongoing commitment to charitable causes alongside her racing career.
The American Cornhole League (ACL), founded in 2016, has rapidly gained popularity as a competitive sport. Their charity event, Cornhole for a Cause, pairs notable celebrities and athletes with ACL professionals in competitive Cornhole matches to raise funds for various nonprofit organizations.

Alongside Breidinger, the event this weekend will include actor Shemar Moore, basketball icon Dawn Staley, and MMA fighter Stephen “Wonderboy” Thompson. Their matches will be broadcast live during the ACL 2025 World Championships on ESPNU at 2:30 PM ET on August 2. This event follows a July 4th edition that showcased NASCAR Cup Series drivers Noah Gragson, Zane Smith, Ross Chastain, and Austin Cindric competing in similar matches.
Breidinger’s Rising Profile Beyond Racing Includes Modeling and Sponsorships
Breidinger, who debuted in the NASCAR Truck Series in 2023 and has remained a rookie in the series, is gaining recognition not only on the track but also in modeling. She recently appeared in the 2025 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue and has modeled for Victoria’s Secret. Her growing visibility helps extend her influence beyond racing circuits.
Reflecting on Family Roots and New Partnerships
Breidinger’s journey in motorsports began early, karting alongside her father and twin sister Annie at around age nine. She earned the USAC Western Asphalt Midget Series championship title in 2016 when she was just 17. Now 26, she has built a robust portfolio of sponsorships during the 2025 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series season, with partners including Celsius Energy Drink, Pedal Commander, Kendall Jenner’s 818 Tequila, Raising Cane’s, and SUNOCO.
Her most recent collaboration is with Dave & Buster’s, which appointed her as their 2025 Summer Ambassador. The company is sponsoring her truck for the upcoming race at Watkins Glen on August 8 and has organized special fan activities, including meet-and-greets, limited-edition merchandise, and a racing-game Leaderboard Challenge tour featuring Breidinger.
“When I was younger, I never had off weekends from races. Me and my twin sister, Annie, would just go to Dave & Busters for fun in the Bay Area, so when this opportunity came about, I was like, ‘100 percent yes.’ This is a very full circle moment for me, and very nostalgic,” Toni Breidinger told E! News.
“We’d go up to the kart tracks every weekend, and we just kind of started travelling to different races together on road trips. So it was very much a way for my dad to spend time with his two daughters,” she added.
Current Racing Performance and Future Prospects
In the 2025 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series standings, Breidinger holds the 22nd position. Her top finish so far this season has been 18th place at Rockingham Speedway, while her personal best in the series came last year with a 15th place at Kansas Speedway. With her ongoing sponsorship support and expanding public profile, Breidinger remains a determined competitor looking to make further strides in her racing career.
Her participation in the ACL charity event reflects both her commitment to community causes and her growing presence in sports beyond racing. This involvement may enhance her visibility to new audiences, while supporting important nonprofit initiatives.
