Breidinger shared a heartwarming moment with her fans, as the driver doted on her pet bunny while it hopped around. Reflecting on Fetty’s unique and nonchalant character, Breidinger said,

“Fetty is a little high-maintenance. He is very particular about the floor that he steps on. He does not like hardwood floor so he refuses to step on anything that's wood. So he has to have a carpet or mats only.”

“I grew up always wanting a bunny ever since I was little, and when I moved out to North Carolina and became an adult, I was like, I have free will ...I can get a bunny now,” she smiled.

Breidinger grew up listening to Fetty Wap, a renowned American rap artist, best known for his 2014 song "Trap Queen". Interestingly, that’s how she got the idea of naming her pet bunny, Fetty Hop. The 26-year-old also left a two-word comment for Fetty under the video.

“my son,” she wrote.

On that note, some people think that Breidinger’s modelling career takes away focus from her racing career and affects her performance. Weighing in on the matter, the driver dismissed the claims and told Motorsport.com,

“When people say that doing brand deals affects my performance, I’m like, ‘No, you know what affects my performance? Not being able to race because I can’t afford it’”.

“You need seat time to get better, and you have to pay for it. It sounds toxic, but I’m okay with working 99% of the time right now. It’s a cycle, and I’m still figuring out how to balance it, but I’m at a critical point in my career so I want to give it 1000% and look back knowing it was worth it,” she further explained.

Toni Breidinger is the first Arab-American woman to compete in any NASCAR national-level touring series.
