Before NASCAR, Frankie Muniz was an actor, and starred in several sitcoms and movies. He is most known for his role in the American sitcom, Malcolm in the Middle, which aired in 2000. However, due to certain pressures, Muniz decided to move away from Hollywood limelight and embark on a journey in stock car racing.

In an episode of the DirtyMoMedia podcast released in December last year, the actor-turned-racer detailed the differences between acting and racing.

"The one amazing thing about [NASCAR] that I love, compared to being an actor, is it's not subjective. I can think I did a great job in the movie and think I did a good job acting and people see that and they were like 'Meh, it was okay.' [In NASCAR] if you're good and you belong, you're at the top of the leaderboard. At least [you] can see where you stand. I love that"

Frankie Muniz had a passion for racing since childhood and participated in his first ever race when he was 15 years old, in an Open Wheel race. He eventually started competing in more serious tournaments like ARCA Series Debut and Champ Car Atlantic.

The 39-year-old was notably handed a full-time Truck series deal as he will be racing the #33 for Reaume Brothers Racing in 2025.
