Frankie Muniz, renowned for his successful career as a child and adult actor, is embarking on a remarkable comeback after a 14-year hiatus from racing. Muniz, who had to step away from racing due to his back injury in 2009, feels that he has unfinished business in the world of motorsports. Inspired by his iconic role in Malcolm in the Middle, Muniz is determined to pursue his racing aspirations once again

Expressing his drive to succeed in the sport, Muniz stated, “I feel like I accomplished a lot in my life, but where I have unfinished business is the racing world. Here I am, and we’re doing it. It’s been the most incredible experience so far, and I don’t want it to end. We have to find some partners to keep the ball rolling”

Having made a remarkable comeback in the ARCA series, Frankie Muniz now has his sights firmly set on reaching the big leagues, including the Cup Series. After his impressive return to racing, Muniz shared valuable insights regarding his plans for the future.

“I’ve got to be a prodigy”: Frankie Muniz speaks about his plans

The former Agent Cody Banks star has showcased his skill behind the wheel by achieving five top-10 finishes in seven races in the current Arca Menards season. While this accomplishment is impressive, Muniz yearns for more and holds unwavering confidence in his abilities as a full-time driver in NASCAR’s higher tiers.

The Hollywood star, whose net worth is estimated at $30 million, is determined to secure a seat in a Cup Car. In an interview with Eric Estepp, Muniz expressed his eagerness, stating, “I’ve been very fortunate in my life […] When I put my helmet on, every race or every practice test or whatever it is, I put that visor down and I leave that pit lane, I’ve never been more comfortable with where I’m at than in that position. It feels like it’s what I’m meant to do.”

“I think every race car driver says I want to be a Cup driver, obviously, that’s my goal. I know with my age if it’s gonna happen, I’ve got to be a prodigy. I got to start winning races right away. And even when I’m done racing, I want to be involved in the sport in some capacity—whether it’s an owner or you know, I just want to be at a race track. It’s where I like to be the most of anywhere in the world.”
