Malcolm in the Middle star and professional race car driver Frankie Muniz is currently in the hospital, after what his social media team describes as “an incident” at Daytona International Speedway.
According to The Wrap, Muniz was participating in a practice lap leading up to the Proud to Honor Veterans Day Classic race when the crash occurred. Per a statement on the Team Reaume Instagram account, “he was taken to a local medical facility for further evaluation and is awake and alert.”
Muniz first began participating in NASCAR races in 2023, something he said then was a childhood dream. He of course spent his actual childhood as a young actor on projects like Agent Cody Banks and all seven seasons of Malcolm. The hit Fox sitcom returned in 2026 for a limited series revival featuring the original cast, which Muniz told Consequence he was a bit nervous about returning for.
