Frankie Muniz Steps Into Full-Time NASCAR Role for 2025 Craftsman Truck Series

Frankie Muniz, the former star of "Malcolm in the Middle," is embracing his dream of becoming a full-time NASCAR driver. At 38, Muniz is joining Reaume Brothers Racing to compete as a full-time driver of the No. 33 F-150 in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series for the 2025 season. Having started his racing journey in 2004 and turned professional by 2006, this achievement fulfills a lifelong aspiration for Muniz, despite initially pursuing paths in open-wheel racing and dreaming of a career in Formula 1 or IndyCar. His passion for NASCAR, kindled in childhood, is now coming to fruition.

In 2023, Muniz competed in the ARCA Menards Series, securing a fourth-place overall finish with one top-five and eleven top-ten finishes, enhancing his portfolio within the racing community. Limited races in the NASCAR Xfinity and Mustang Challenge Series further honed his driving skills since joining Ford Performance that same year. Now embarking on full-time participation in one of NASCAR's major national series, he acknowledges the challenges ahead but remains undaunted, putting intensive effort into conditioning and strategy to excel at race tracks.

Though acting remains an open chapter, Muniz is committed to proving himself on the race circuit. He emphasized to PEOPLE his dedication to the sport, hoping to surprise critics and fans with his competitive edge. As he balances the worlds of entertainment and racing, Muniz is eager to demonstrate his prowess beyond the notoriety of his child actor days by leaving a mark in NASCAR and inspiring those who witness his endeavors.
