Kutsungirira ikoko kwakaita basa rakakosha mukuumba hunhu hwaBreidinger hwekuda chinzvimbo, anotsanangura - hunhu hwaionekwa kubva paudiki. Breidinger, uyo akatanga kuisa pfungwa dzake pakuenda pro pazera ramakore mapfumbamwe chete, akatanga kumhanya achikwikwidza mumakore ake ekuyaruka mutaundi rekumusha kwake reWallborough, Calif. body), nekukasira kupedza chikoro kumota dzezvitoro (apo mavhiri anowira mukati memuviri wemota) pamatinji emunharaunda. (Mota dzezvitoro ndizvo zvaunowanzoona mumakwikwi eNASCAR, FYI.)

Zvino, aine makore makumi maviri nerimwe chete okuberekwa, Breidinger akakodzera chimwe chezviitiko zvinoshuviwa zvikuru zvevanyanzvi vemijaho munyika yose: ARCA Menards Series mwaka-opener paDaytona International Speedway muFlorida.
