Toni Breidinger shared why her partnership with Kendall Jenner's 818 Tequila feels organic

Toni Breidinger recently shared insights into her groundbreaking partnership with Kendall Jenner’s 818 Tequila, describing it as a natural and authentic fit. As the first national sports collaboration for the award-winning tequila brand, 818 Tequila will serve as the primary sponsor on Breidinger’s No. 5 Tricon Garage Toyota during the NASCAR Truck Series race at Nashville Superspeedway.

"It's very important to work with brands who feel authentic to me and have the same morals. I feel like 818 aligns with me perfectly because they're all about community, they're female-founded and led," she told People.com.

"I know historically the tequila space has been very male-dominated and so is the motorsport space, a very male-dominated industry. So I love to see what Kendall's doing as a female entrepreneur... both of our worlds kind of aligned," she added.

Breidinger explained that both she and the brand share similar values -- especially the importance of community and female leadership in traditionally male-dominated industries, which made the partnership feel “organic” to her.

Breidinger highlighted how both motorsports and the tequila industry have historically been dominated by men, and that she admires what Kendall Jenner is achieving as a female entrepreneur.
