Frankie Muniz made a name for himself as a performer. For his next act, he aims to deliver in his most ambitious performance yet: racing stock cars.
Actor and Arizona resident Frankie Muniz has made a name for himself entertaining the masses for decades. For his next act, the titular star of “Malcolm in the Middle” aims to deliver in his most ambitious performance yet: racing stock cars.
For Muniz, his introduction to racing came back in 2001, when he attended his first Daytona 500 and got to ride along in the pace car before the big event. Since that infamous day, Muniz’s affinity for motorsports blossomed as a result of the competitive camaraderie. “I felt like I wanted to be a race car driver. That’s what I felt like I was most comfortable doing of all the things I’ve gotten to do.”
“This isn’t a publicity stunt,” Rette said. “The situation with Frankie is, he’s going to do whatever it takes to make this happen. He knows the craft of racing, he just needs to learn our style and how stock car racing is.In ARCA, most drivers are in their adolescence, which can make it difficult for owners or crew chiefs to develop a rapport. Where Muniz and Rette felt an immediate connection was their role as fathers and people in similar stages of their lives.
Following a successful first time on track, Rette believes Muniz can find victory lane in his rookie season, but understands there’s a greater purpose for his driver’s venture.
