As Toni Breidinger takes up a full-time racing role in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, Venturini Motorsports has signed the emerging talent Isabella Robusto to step up as her replacement in the ARCA Menards Series.

Isabella Robusto brings to the table a strong pedigree in the ARCA Menards Series, where she has honed her skills over recent years.

Commenting on her upcoming move, Robusto explained in a press release from the team:
