'Gorgeous' - Toni Breidinger's New Ad Has NASCAR Fans Talking
With the NASCAR Truck Series set to resume this week, Toni Breidinger has landed yet another endorsement deal.
Breidinger, 26, is currently in her first full-time season in the Truck Series. She previously competed in the ARCA Menards Series, earning 27 top-ten finishes and breaking several barriers along the way. Although she figured her rookie season in the Truck Series would present a few hurdles, she's a bit surprised by how difficult the adjustment has been.
"Yeah, there's honestly quite a bit of things that I was kind of surprised by this year," Breidinger told 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."
Despite her struggles on the track, Breidinger continues to expand her brand. In just the past few months, she has agreed to partner with Coach and 818 Tequila.
Earlier this week, Breidinger announced that she's a partner with SALT & STONE. She shared a video of her using the product along with the caption "race day ready."
While some NASCAR fans congratulated Breidinger on her latest brand deal, others were too busy commenting on her appearance in her SALT & STONE ad.
"You're gorgeous," one fan commented.
"Looking amazing," a second fan wrote.
"Lovely as always," another fan said.
"You sold me...I'll take 2," an Instagram user wrote.
Breidinger, the first Arab American woman to compete in NASCAR, is no stranger to turning heads. Back in May, she appeared in the 2025 edition of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit.
"It's an honor to be featured in the 2025 issue," Breidinger said. "It's very surreal to be in this issue alongside so many inspiring athletes. Thank you a million to everyone who made this dream of mine come true."
SI Swimsuit has not yet announced if Breidinger will return for the 2026 magazine.
In the meantime, NASCAR fans can cheer on Breidinger this Friday when the Truck Series heads over to Watkins Glen International.'Gorgeous' - Toni Breidinger's New Ad Has NASCAR Fans Talking first appeared on The Spun on Aug 6, 2025

Anthony Richardson could return to Colts practice as soon as Saturday after dislocating pinkie finger: Report
Anthony Richardson could return to Indianapolis Colts practice as soon as Saturday after dislocating his right pinkie finger Thursday night against the Baltimore Ravens in the teams' preseason opener, according to ESPN's Stephen Holder. Competing for the starting quarterback job with veteran Daniel Jones, Richardson sustained the injury on the first dropback of his second series in Baltimore. After receiving the snap, the third-year signal-caller was immediately sacked by Ravens linebacker David Ojabo, who was blitzing off the edge. Richardson didn't see him coming and took a punishing hit, which dislodged his right pinkie finger. "It was weird," Richardson said postgame. "He hit me, and then I was trying to make sure I had the ball. I just looked down, and I saw my finger in a different direction. And I was like, 'Maybe I'm trippin'.' And I looked at it again, and it was definitely like that, so I was like, 'I gotta get this thing popped back in place,' but I'm good, though." [Join or create a Yahoo Fantasy Football league for the 2025 NFL season] Richardson's X-rays at halftime were negative, according to ESPN's Friday report. The Colts are off Friday and resume training camp practice on Saturday, at which point Richardson could participate if he can throw the ball effectively. Richardson told reporters after the game that his finger was "tender" and probably would be a little more sore in the morning, but he reiterated that he'd be fine. Colts head coach Shane Steichen described Richardson as "day-to-day" postgame. Richardson actually tried to get back in the exhibition. After not being able to get the right squeeze on the ball immediately after suffering the injury, Richardson got taped up, tested his grip strength again and tried throwing once more. "I was able to spin it a little bit, not to the best of my ability, but just a little bit more," Richardson explained. "I was trying to get back in there, but they said they already ruled me out." Richardson's day was done. Initially expected to play most of the first half, he finished only 2-of-3 for 21 yards. Jones, the former New York Giants starting quarterback whom the Colts signed in free agency this offseason, took over and closed out the opening half, completing 10-of-21 passes for 144 yards while leading a pair of scoring drives that culminated in field goals. On one drive, Jones tossed a touchdown that was overturned because of offensive pass interference, and another Jones-piloted series ended in a 52-yard Spencer Shrader field goal attempt that hit off the left upright. Former Duke and Notre Dame quarterback Riley Leonard played the second half. The rookie went 12-of-24 with 92 passing yards and one bad interception yet also added 34 yards on the ground in the 24-16 loss to the Ravens. As for the play where Richardson got hurt, he was asked what he saw go wrong when he looked back at the film. "Yeah, I definitely looked at it," Richardson said. "That's a tricky one 'cause it's five-man [protection] and hot from the backside. I just gotta get my eyes, just be able to react to that. But just five-man pro, just playing hot, I just got to be on my Ps and Qs when it comes to that." Richardson admitted that his eyes were on the nickel on the other side of the line, not Ojabo. While Richardson appears to have avoided a setback, Thursday night's scare was almost the latest detour in an already injury-filled career that started with him being picked No. 4 overall by the Colts in 2023. He played just four games his rookie season and 11 last season, with both ending early because of injuries.

How This Legendary Singer-Songwriter's '60s Classic Became a #1 Dance Hit — and a 'Seinfeld' Plot Line
How This Legendary Singer-Songwriter's '60s Classic Became a #1 Dance Hit — and a 'Seinfeld' Plot Line originally appeared on Parade. As one of the most prolific and beloved songwriters in music history, Jimmy Webb is responsible for such classic hits as "Wichita Lineman," "Up, Up and Away" and "By the Time I Get to Phoenix" — but he initially had a tough time finding a singer for one of his most famous tunes, "MacArthur Park." Inspired by a painful breakup, Webb initially offered "MacArthur Park" to The Association, a group known for hits like "Cherish" and "Windy." Unfortunately, with its complex arrangement and unconventional lyrics, the song wasn't exactly what the pop stars were looking for. Then, in the summer of 1967, Webb met actor Richard Harris, who'd recently starred in the movie adaptation of the musical was interested in recording an album of his own. Included on Harris' 1968 album A Tramp Shining, "MacArthur Park" peaked at number two on the Billboard Hot 100. In an interview with Songfacts years later — and following the death of Harris in 2002 — Webb praised the Harry Potter star for his performance on the track. "He brought a great kind of theatrical dignity to 'MacArthur Park' and to those songs," Webb said, adding, "And if he missed a note or he didn't carry it off particularly well as a singer, he had the actor's ability to step his way through the lyric and to speak some of the lines and basically to carry it off." As it turned out, the Harris version of "MacArthur Park" was only the beginning, as the tune's legacy would live on in more ways than one. In 1978, it was back on the charts — this time hitting number one — as a disco song by Donna Summer, who was looking for a song that would show off her vocal abilities, according to Stereogum. Jimmy Webb's MacArthur Park became a classic after the Richard Harris #2 hit (May 1968) and then the later a #1 hit by Donna Summer. Over the years, pop culture references have popped up - like this one in Seinfeld. #MacArthurPark #popculture — Jimmy Webb (@realjimmywebb) May 15, 2020 In the years since, fans haven't forgotten about "MacArthur Park" or the sad story it tells. The unforgettable lyrics even inspired a classic Seinfeld plot line about George (Jason Alexander) and a traumatic childhood memory involving him breaking a statue while singing the part about a cake being left out in the rain. The song also got the Weird Al treatment in 1993 with the parody "Jurassic Park" — further solidifying its place in the pop culture landscape for generations to This Legendary Singer-Songwriter's '60s Classic Became a #1 Dance Hit — and a 'Seinfeld' Plot Line first appeared on Parade on Aug 8, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Aug 8, 2025, where it first appeared.
