“3 Races Now” – Frankie Muniz and Interstate Battery Issues Reach a Tipping Point as Insiders Call for Action

Switching careers at the prime age of 37 was a leap of faith for Frankie Muniz. However, he was ready to gamble his luck and take the shot of changing the lanes of his career path. This gamble surely paid dividends for Malcolm in the Middle actor. Muniz has always enjoyed the limelight of the tinsel town, however, was ready to bid farewell to silver screens and embark on a trip to the world of speed. 

Moreover, Muniz was able to climb to the top of the leaderboard of the ARCA Menard Series at a steady speed as a befitting reply to critics. However, it is apparent in the recent few races that Muniz seems to be grappling with serious issues that are proving to be detrimental to his points standing. As a result of this, series insiders seem to be livid with the issue and advocate for resolving the issues.

NASCAR insiders side with Frankie Muniz and demand effective action

While cynics deemed it as a celebrity stunt and said the passion for racing was ephemeral, it was not long before the amateur driver proved that a star could shine in any given profession. Harboring the legitimate intentions of making his breakthrough in the elite series of NASCAR, Frankie Muniz has exhibited immense caliber as a motor racer. He has notched top 10 and top 5 positions in the series so far and is a championship contender in the ongoing series.

However, Muniz seems to have encountered major hiccups that have proved to be a serious threat to his championship title. One such is mechanical issues with the car, which has proved to be detrimental for the driver and cost him his on-track position. This was evident in the Milwaukee race on Sunday. The ARCA Menards driver, who was racing within the top 10, fell back in the pack after encountering battery issues. Even the sportscasters of the race seem to be disappointed with the issue which has ensued for weeks.

One of the broadcasters was heard stating, “Everyone will put tires on in here in just a little while. They will get one set of tires unless they have an issue and we got a problem here. Frankie Muniz!” To which her co-host reported, “We were just dropping back to check in on him and he was a little slow there had an issue with that 30 […]”

Enquiring about further updates from pit reporter Heather Debeaux, she replied, “He came over the radio and said he thinks he was having another battery issue. If you remember they have been plagued by electrical issues with this car on about five different times. Right now everything seems okay.”

“Hey listen, I am going to go talk to Interstate Batteries, I know some of the guys over there, see if we can get this problem sorted out. It’s three races now where he has had a mechanical problem or an electrical problem. One of those we know is from an impact on restart, it knocked the battery loose.”

“Last week at Watkins Glen seemed to be a full car electrical issue, not sure if he is running some of the same components or what’s going on, but yeah just a bad problem here again today, to be fighting those same gremlins,” the analyst affirmed.

This was not the first time that Frankie Muniz came across such an issue. It was recurrent in the race at Watkins Glen. Although Muniz qualified within the top 10, suffered a DNF due to a mechanical issue in the car. 

A similar incident occurred in the Pocono race, where he suffered a battery issue and finished 21 in the race. He heaved his disappointment to Frontstretch, “I hit really hard on the first start from behind, everyone checked up pretty bad and we think that made the battery connection got loose. I am tired it ended up frying the batteries, so when the first caution came I just lost power completely.”

If the problem persists, it will surely jeopardize Muniz’s championship hopes. It is to be seen how fast the team deals with the issue and generates an effective solution to tackle it.
