Malcolm in the Middle fame Frankie Muniz pledges stronger comeback after Bristol mishap 

NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series driver Frankie Muniz was caught up in a crash with the defending champion, Ty Majeski, during Friday's race at Bristol Motor Speedway on April 11, 2025. Reflecting on the incident, Muniz shared an Instagram post promising a determined comeback.

The accident happened during Stage One of the 250-lap race and wrecked multiple drivers. The defending champion revealed he assumed he was going in a different direction than Muniz, but things went south, and the duo crashed into each other.

Reflecting on the mishap, Frankie Muniz shared an Instagram post and promised a comeback at the Black Tire 200 race scheduled for Friday, April 18, 2025. He captioned the post:

"Bristol was not what we were going for. No practice or qualifying was obviously not ideal. I love my team @rbr_teams and we are all working really hard. We'll be ready to prove it next week. Thanks @pbzotc for coming on board, let's do it again but with a top 10!"

The accident included fellow Truck Series drivers Brandon Jones and Stewart Friesen. Despite having a strong run, the driver's day resulted in a DNF, and Front Row Motorsports driver Chandler Smith won the Weather Guard Truck race. Friesen ended the race in P27, followed by Frankie Muniz in P31, Jones in P32, and the reigning champion Ty Majeski in P33.
