Frankie Muniz Hospitalized After Daytona Practice Crash

Muniz crashed while making a practice circuit at Daytona International Speedway in Florida on November 11, ahead of the Ford Veterans Day Classic. His racing team said he was taken to a nearby medical facility for evaluation and was awake and alert. He will not take part in the November 11 race.

Rescue crews cut away the roof of Muniz’s car to remove him, and images showed substantial damage to the vehicle’s roof. The event was an exhibition charity race featuring 12 Ford drivers and was scheduled to take place at Daytona on November 11 in honor of Veterans Day.

Muniz, known for starring in “Malcolm in the Middle,” announced in 2023 that he planned to pursue racing full time. The incident occurred as he practiced for the special event; no further details about his condition were provided.
