New year, new career for Frankie Muniz. The "Malcolm In The Middle" star announced on Instagram yesterday that he's moving into the next phase of his career - as a NASCAR driver. Muniz will race full-time for Rette Jones Racing in the ARCA series, and he's set to compete in 20 races over the course of the season.
The first ARCA race of 2023 is February 18 at Daytona International Speedway, the day before the Daytona 500. Muniz has been chasing his racing dream since the mid-2000s. He competed five times in the now-defunct Toyota celebrity race during the IndyCar Long Beach Grand Prix weekend, with a best finish of third.
