Frankie Muniz hospitalized after incident during practice at Daytona
Actor Frankie Muniz was hospitalized Wednesday following an “incident” during practice at the Daytona International Speedway, his team announced.
The 40-year-old actor-turned-race car driver was taken to a local medical facility for evaluation and is awake and alert, Team Reaume, said on social media. Muniz became a full-time driver with Reaume Brothers Racing in the 2025 racing season.
“Thank you for your support and for respecting Frankie’s privacy at this time,” the team said.
Muniz was set to participate in the Ford Proud to Honor Veterans Classic at Daytona on Wednesday evening.
NBC News has reached out to Ford Racing for comment.
Muniz, who rose to fame as a child star in the Fox sitcom “Malcolm in the Middle,” pivoted to stock car racing in 2021.
