Happy#InternationalWomensDay everyone This one goes out to all the amazing women in the motorsport community; drivers, team staff, journalists, fans, and everyone else.
21-year-old Toni Breidinger became the first Arab-American woman to compete in a national NASCAR series at Daytona last weekend. She finished 18th in ARCA Series’ Lucas Oil 200.
Toni started karting when she was nine years old together with her twin sister. She has the most wins for a female driver in United States Auto Club history and finished fourth in the Carolina Pro Late Model Series last year.
In 2021, Toni will compete in both the ARCA Menards Series and the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series.

Cristina Gutiérrez is one of X44’s Extreme E drivers.
The rally driver started racing at just four years old and became the Spanish All Terrain Championship vice-champion in 2015.
Cristina has finished the Dakar rally four times and this year became the first woman since Jutta Kleinschmidt in 2005 to win a Dakar stage.
She will be driving alongside Sébastien Loeb for X44 this season and we can expect great things from the pair.
