After a crazy All-Star Race, NASCAR heads to Charlotte Motor Speedway for the next crown jewel race of 2025. 

William Byron, Alex Bowman, and Chase Elliot finished in the top ten last week, so they will be looking to continue their momentum as they take on stock car racing’s longest night. 

For, Kyle Larson that night will begin a bit earlier.

This season has been full of challenges for Toni Breidinger. The NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series rookie has had growing pains. Breidinger came up through the USAC ranks, winning 19 races. She then spent time developing in ARCA and other series.

In 2025, Toni Breidinger is taking new strides in racing and in her other career. Breidinger spends her time not just going fast around the track but going around the country as a model and social media influencer.

Prior to racing at North Wilkesboro, a town of barely over 4,000 residents, Breidinger was on the New York City red carpet for Sports Illustrated’s Swimsuit Issue, in which she took part.

10 races into the season and a big weekend at Charlotte coming up, Breidinger is still learning. The Truck Series isn’t what it used to be, even a couple of years ago. The quality of racing has increased, and that has been challenging for the 25-year-old.

“Yeah, there’s honestly quite a bit of things that I was kind of surprised by this year,” Breidinger said in an interview with 5GOATs. “I knew the learning curve was going to be steep, and I knew that I had a lot to learn. But I don’t think I realized how much I was going to learn, how much I’m taking away.

“Like, after every race, I’m like wow, I feel like a new driver because I’ve learned so much. So, yeah, almost the unknown of I didn’t know how much new stuff I was going to learn. In so many different areas, from the tracks and the truck and the aero. Yeah, I’ve been learning a lot, and I’m like, I can’t believe I’ve been learning this much. Kind of crazy, but yeah.”

With millions of followers on social media, there are a lot of Toni Breidinger fans. Her recent off-track news has continued. Breidigner has signed new sponsorship deals with 818 Tequila, Kendall Jenner’s brand.

Another numerical partner will join Breidinger later this year at Lime Rock Park in 811, the “Call Before You Dig” folks, who have sponsored multiple drivers in recent years. Funding is key, even for a model, in NASCAR.

Toni Breidinger reflects on women in motorsports

This year, Toni Breidinger isn’t the only woman getting attention in NASCAR and stock car racing. She had sponsorship from the Women’s Sports Foundation earlier this season, and women have been one of the key stories to the NASCAR and ARCA season in 2025.

There are many great women in motorsports currently, and a new batch of racers is coming up through the stock car ranks right now. Asked about drivers like Isabella Robusto, Lanie Buice, Jade Avedisian, and more, Breidinger says she is excited to see so many women getting attention in the sport.

“It’s been awesome seeing the other girls come up through the sport, and obviously, Katherine Legge, with her experience in motorsports, make some Cup starts,” Breidinger said. “So, it’s been really cool to see. Been watching all their careers, and I love following along and supporting them.

“Like you said, it is tough being a female in this space, obviously male-dominated. That comes with some negatives, but I am inspired watching those girls navigate their way through the sport. So, it’s been really cool to watch.”

With a season-best finish of P18 this year, Toni Breidinger is focused on improving each and every week. Her Tricon Garage teammates provide a lot of invaluable support to her. Corey Heim, the favorite to win the Truck Series championship this year, is a great person to have in her corner.

Todd Gilliland and the No. 34 Overplay Ford Team
Charlotte Motor Speedway Competition Notes
Coca-Cola 600

Date: Sunday May 25, 2025
Event: Race 15 of 38
Series: NASCAR Cup Series
Location: Charlotte Motor Speedway (1.5-miles)
#of Laps: 400
Time/TV/Radio: 6:00 PM ET on Amazon Prime/PRN/SiriusXM channel 90

Todd Gilliland Notes

Todd Gilliland and the No. 34 team now turn their attention to Charlotte Motor Speedway for the longest race of the season — the Coca-Cola 600. This 400-lap, 600-mile event is one of NASCAR’s crown-jewel races and pays tribute to U.S. service members by featuring the names of fallen heroes on each team’s car. This year, Gilliland will have the name of Captain Robert Michael Secher riding on the windshield of his Overplay Ford Mustang Dark Horse.

Overplay— the world’s first user-generated gaming platform where anyone can make games from videos—will team up with FRM and Gilliland at the speedway. Founded by seasoned interactive media executives Dan Projansky and Caroline Strzalka, Overplay aims to democratize game development and make it accessible to everyone. By downloading the Overplay app users can gamify their lives instantly! The platform already has hundreds of thousands of downloads and millions of games played. Overplay was also featured in Season 15 of Shark Tank where the company struck a deal with billionaire investor Mark Cuban.

Born on May 20, 1973, in Germantown, Tennessee, Capt. Robert M. Secher loved being a soldier. He attended the Marion Military Institute and then graduated from the University of Memphis with a degree in political science. Secher was commissioned as an artillery officer and, in 2006, he volunteered to go to Iraq. He was part of an elite team of 11 officers who were embedded and training with the Iraqi Army. On October 8, 2006, in Al Anbar, Iraq Captain Secher was KIA while leading a patrol. He was posthumously awarded the Purple Heart and the Bronze Star with Combat V for valor for actions during his deployment.

Camp Hanson’s Secher Hall in Okinawa, Japan is named in Secher’s memory. The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania has created the Captain Robert M. Secher Scholarship to honor Secher for his contributions to Wharton, including spearheading the Quantico Leadership Venture, which builds upon U.S. Marine Corps facilities to develop leadership at its Officer Candidate School in Quantico, Va. Secher is remembered with love and deep respect by all who knew him.

“The 600 weekend is always a big one for the industry—it’s NASCAR’s version of a home game, so I’ll have a lot of family attending,” said Gilliland. “It’s an honor to carry Captain Robert Michael Secher’s name on my race car this weekend. I’ve really enjoyed learning about him and his story. He made the ultimate sacrifice so I could have the freedom to race on Sundays.”
