Frankie Muniz After NASCAR Crash: “I’m Grateful To Be Walking Right Now”
Frankie Muniz says he is “grateful to be walking right now” after what he described as “a pretty bad wreck” in a NASCAR warmup yesterday that sent him to the hospital. Muniz was behind the wheel for Team Air Force in its No. 30 Ford, prepping for the Proud to Honor Veterans Day Classic exhibition race.
“I’m doing OK. I’m extremely sore, but fortunately no major injuries,” said the former Malcolm in the Middle actor in a video post to social media. “I’m not 100% sure how that’s the case, but that’s just a testiment to how well-built the Ford Mustang Dark Horse are.”
Entertainment Tonight was at Daytona to cover the race and posted a photo of Muniz’s car after the accident.
Per NASCAR, Muniz is a legitimate driver. He has competed in the Craftsman Truck Series for the past two seasons. His best career finish, 10th, came in the 2025 Daytona season opener. Muniz embarked on a full ARCA Menards Series season in 2023, recording 11 top 10s.
