Stunning stock car driver Toni Breidinger has been bringing high-octane energy to her modeling game outside of her motorsports fame. And the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue took to social media to revisit her smoking hot debut in the iconic magazine earlier this year.

In the photo — taken in Florida by the great Ben Horton — NorCal native Breidinger, 26, rocks a skimpy lime green suit whose minimal fabric knots at her stomach to create both a plunging neckline and side cut-outs that leave little to the imagination. The designer? La Gotta Swimwear.

“Toni Breidinger’s 2025 SI Swimsuit debut brought plenty of standout looks, but her bold green one-piece stole the show!” The brand captioned the Wednesday, December 10 share to X (formerly Twitter).

The accompanying article in Sports Illustrated Swimsuit raves that Breidinger “sizzled in his daring green one-piece for her SI Swimsuit debut” and that it “popped against the coastal backdrop” of Boca Raton.

“The vibrant green color brought out a softer, playful side of the racecar driver, while the cutout silhouette matched her signature edge,” continues the outlet. “It was a refreshing contrast to her structured black and sporty white looks from the rest of the shoot, proof that she can pull off just about anything. It’s that flexibility that defines her fast-paced lifestyle.”

Breidinger is the first Arab-American woman to compete in a NASCAR national series, write the magazine, and holds the record for the most top-10 finishes by a female driver in ARCA Menards Series history.
