NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series driver Toni Breidinger was the victim of an unfortunate situation recently with her car broken into. Her entire custom suitcase went missing, including her firesuits.

Breidinger asked fans to be on the lookout for anything that might give clues as the whereabouts of her belongings. And while it’s not clear whether someone tipped her off to key information, Breidinger got her stuff back on Tuesday.

TRICON posted pictures of Breidinger holding her firesuits and posing for the camera, clearly elated to have her NASCAR stuff back. You can check it out below.

“Anyone in the Ithaca NY area!” Breidinger had written on Twitter on Aug. 8. “My car was broken into last night, and my suitcase was stolen. It’s a custom Tumi suitcase with TB on it. Inside were personal items, including my 818 and Coach suits.”

NASCAR tags Denny Hamlin team with penalty

NASCAR has officially punished Denny Hamlin’s No. 11 team after the car lost a wheel during the Bristol race on Saturday night. On Tuesday, NASCAR released its penalty report, which said crew members Austin Maloney and Joel Bouagnon have been suspended from the next two NASCAR Cup Series races.

Denny Hamlin knew suspensions were coming for his team due to NASCAR rules. On the Actions Detrimental podcast, Hamlin talked about the possibility of losing two crew members for the next two races.

“It’s super unfortunate because we were the only guys on pit road during that time,” Hamlin explained. “There was no indication, no heads up or anything. If it was loose leaving the pit stall, but I’m not sure. I don’t have an answer of how or why, but more than likely.”

The crew members will miss the New Hampshire race on Sunday and the Kansas race next week. They will return for the Charlotte Roval race on Oct. 5, which is the final race in the Round of 12 of the NASCAR Cup Series playoffs.
