NASCAR Fans Praying For Toni Breidinger Before Friday’s Race<\/a> originally appeared on The Spun<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Just hours before the NASCAR Truck Series kicked off its race at Watkins Glen International, 26-year-old driver Toni Breidinger had scary news to share with her fans.<\/p>\n

So far, Breidinger’s first season in the Truck Series hasn’t gone according to plan. She’s currently 22nd in the standings without a single top-10 finish. Her best finish (18th) came at Rockingham in mid-April.<\/p>\n

“Yeah, there\u2019s honestly quite a bit of things that I was kind of surprised by this year,”\u00a0Breidinger told 5GOATs<\/a>. “I knew the learning curve was going to be steep, and I knew that I had a lot to learn. But I don\u2019t think I realized how much I was going to learn, how much I\u2019m taking away. Like, after every race, I\u2019m like wow, I feel like a new driver because I\u2019ve learned so much. So, yeah, almost the unknown of I didn\u2019t 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\u2019ve been learning a lot, and I\u2019m like, I can\u2019t believe I\u2019ve been learning this much. Kind of crazy, but yeah.”<\/p>\n

While it’s possible Breidinger will have a breakout performance at Watkins Glen, her Friday got off to a brutal start. She revealed on social media that people broke into her car and stole a suitcase loaded with her personal items.<\/p>\n

“Anyone in the Ithaca NY area! My car was broken into last night, and my suitcase was stolen. It\u2019s a custom Tumi suitcase with TB on it. Inside were personal items, including my 818 and Coach suits,” Breidinger wrote on X.<\/a> “If you happen to see a suitcase or my racing stuff that\u2019s being sold on Facebook Marketplace, OfferUp, Craigslist, or anywhere else, please send me the link.”<\/p>\n

NASCAR fans feel terrible for Breidinger, make no mistake about it. On the other hand, they’re glad she wasn’t harmed.<\/p>\n

“Ugh I can’t stand a thief! So sorry this happened to such a wonderful person,” one fan said.<\/p>\n

“I’m sorry for this, prayers from Atlanta,” a second fan wrote.<\/p>\n

Another fan replied, “People absolutely suck! I hope you get everything back!”<\/p>\n

“Sorry Toni, u have to go through that. Hopefully, your items will be recovered soon,” another social media user commented.<\/p>\n

There’s a very good chance whoever stole Breidinger’s NASCAR gear will try to sell it online. For now though, she’ll have to just focus on her upcoming Truck Series race.<\/p>\n

Hopefully, Breidinger will get her personal belongings back later this weekend.<\/p>\n
