Frankie Muniz, the “Malcolm in the Middle” star who now races in NASCAR, was taken to a local medical facility Wednesday after an incident during practice at Daytona International Speedway, his team said.
Team Reaume said he was taken for further evaluation and is “awake and alert.” The team has not said what happened on track or whether he was hurt. In a post on X, the team said Muniz “was involved in an incident while practicing for today’s Proud to Honor event” at the speedway. The event is the Veterans Day Classic, a Ford Racing exhibition race at Daytona that Ford announced with a 12-driver lineup. Muniz drives the No. 33 Ford for Team Reaume in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series.
NASCAR Track Communications said Muniz will not take part in Wednesday’s event. The team has not said whether he will race in upcoming events.
The hospital has not been named, and the team said it would share updates as they become available.
