Frankie Muniz has been hospitalized following a race car crash in Daytona.
On Wednesday, it was reported that Muniz was rushed to a Florida hospital after he crashed his race car during a practice lap at the Daytona International Speedway for a Veteran’s Day event. The practice lap was in the lead-up to the Proud to Honor Veterans Day Classic that the “Malcolm in the Middle” alum was competing in as a part of Team Air Force.
Muniz’s racing team posted on social media that he was rushed to the hospital “for further evaluation and is awake and alert.”
Muniz began pursuing a career as a race car driver in 2004 and over the years transitioned to that as his primary career. He did step back into his acting shoes this year for the “Malcom in the Middle” revival on Hulu.
This is also not the first crash Muniz has had in 2026, although it is the first one that sent him to the hospital. Back in April, Muniz wrecked his “Malcolm”-themed racing Ford F-150 at the Tennessee speedway in a crash with Tyler Reif and Timmy Hill. No drivers were hurt, but Muniz was out of the race and his truck was trashed.
“We were running pretty good, I felt pretty quick,” Muniz told Fox Sports at the time. “I think [Reif] maybe got impatient, I don’t know. He was yelling at me in there, saying I’m a lapper, like I shouldn’t be racing.”
He added: “I belong on that racetrack just as much as he does, just as much as the leaders do. I’m not going to back down on that.”
