Ford Racing driver Frankie Muniz was transported to a local medical facility in Florida after being involved in an accident while practicing for Ford’s Proud to Honor Veterans Day Classic at Daytona International Speedway on Wednesday.
Muniz is one of the twelve drivers, ranging from across Ford Racing’s wide portfolio of motorsports endeavors, scheduled to compete in the first annual Veterans Day event. The Wood Ridge, New Jersey-native was scheduled to be teamed with NASCAR Cup Series driver Austin Cindric honoring The Air Force.
In a statement, Ford Racing says “[Muniz] was transported to a local medical facility for further evaluation. He is awake and alert.”
The 40-year-old is best known for his Hollywood acting roles, including playing the leading character in the television sitcom ‘Malcolm in The Middle’, and lately, has been exploring his budding career as a race car driver, with support from Ford Racing. This past year, Muniz competed full-time in the NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series for Team Reaume and also ran full-time in the Pirelli GT4 America AM Championship, where he and co-driver Tyler Stone captured the championship for TechSport Racing.
Additional updates on Muniz will be passed along as they become available.
