Actor Frankie Muniz, best known for his leading role in “Malcolm in the Middle,' is planning to compete full time as a race car driver.
LONG BEACH, CA - APRIL 15: Actor Frankie Muniz at the 42nd Toyota Pro/Celebrity Race - Qualifying Day on April 15, 2016 in Long Beach, California.
The 37-year-old Muniz got behind the wheel of the No. 30 Ford for Rette Jones Racing during a test session Friday at Daytona International Speedway and said, “I wanted this my entire life.”“I want to prove to people that like I’m here to take it seriously,” Muniz said during a half-hour Zoom with reporters. “I’m not just here for a fluke. I’m not just here for publicity.
Muniz said Earnhardt signed his jacket before the race and even told him how much he loved “Malcolm in the Middle.” His last full-time season came in 2009. He said he broke his back, broke an ankle and had a pin inserted into his hand following a crash. He has raced sporadically since. “I’ve always thought in the back of my mind I was going to go back racing. As the years have gone on, it felt further and further away. So when I had my son 19 months ago, it honestly made me go, ‘What am I? Who am I? Who do I want to be to my son or what I want him to see me doing?’”“That’s what I’ve always said I felt like I was the most comfortable doing. … Realistically I’m old to be getting started in the racing world,” he said.
