“I’m actually not part of the Busch Beer program anymore,” she said.
As to why she’s no longer involved with that program, Breidinger kept the reasons to herself and dealt with modesty – “I think some other girls are still part of it and I can only speak for myself, but I’m no longer with them.”
Essentially Sports reached out to Busch Light for an explanation for the same, but a response hasn’t been made from their end so far.
While the ARCA driver’s PR person commented, “She went in a different direction and is focusing with her existing sponsors and a few new ones that will be announced soon.”

“I’m really excited for that. It’s a big field. I think we have forty cars racing, so if we can get a top ten in that race, that would be really exciting.”
