Frankie Muniz taken to hospital after crash at Daytona International Speedway
Actor and race car driver Frankie Muniz was taken to a hospital after crashing during practice at Daytona International Speedway in Florida, according to his team and media reports.
Muniz, 40, crashed during a practice lap Wednesday for Ford’s Proud to Honor Veterans Day Classic in Daytona Beach. He was scheduled to drive for Team Air Force in the exhibition race but will no longer take part, Entertainment Tonight reported.
“Frankie Muniz was involved in an incident while practicing for today’s Proud to Honor event at Daytona International Speedway. He was taken to a local medical facility for further evaluation and is awake and alert,” Team Reaume said in a statement.
Muniz played the title character in the Fox sitcom “Malcolm in the Middle,” which ran from 2000 to 2006 and earned him an Emmy nomination. His film credits include “My Dog Skip,” “Big Fat Liar” and “Agent Cody Banks.”
He returned to the role of Malcolm in a four-episode revival that premiered on Hulu in April.
Muniz began racing in 2004 while the original sitcom was still on the air. He competed in open-wheel racing before moving into stock cars, finishing fourth in the ARCA Menards Series standings in 2023. He began driving full time for Team Reaume in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series in 2025.
