Actor-turned-driver Frankie Muniz will race a special Malcolm In the Middle livery at the Bristol NASCAR round this weekend
Frankie Muniz unveiled a special Malcolm in the Middle-themed livery for this weekend’s NASCAR Truck Series race at Bristol Motor Speedway. The original series aired from 2000 to 2006 and marked Muniz’s breakout role. A lifelong NASCAR fan, Muniz drove the pace car at the 2001 Daytona 500, where he met his hero, Dale Earnhardt, who tragically died in a crash that year. Starting his racing career in 2004, Muniz shifted to stock car racing and now competes in the NASCAR Truck Series. His return to Malcolm in the Middle coincides with his racing commitments, prompting changes in the filming schedule to accommodate his NASCAR races. Muniz expressed gratitude for the opportunity to balance both passions and thanked the production team for their flexibility.
