Actor Frankie Muniz has made his mark in the racing world after finishing in the top 10 on Friday in his fifth NASCAR truck series race, a support event at the Daytona International Speedway that led up to the main event, the Daytona 500, on Sunday.
The 39-year-old, best known for his starring role in the FOX TV sitcom “Malcolm in the Middle” which ran from 2000-2006, initially came in 11th place but ended up being bumped into the 10th after Parker Kligerman was disqualified because his truck did not meet the minimum post-race height requirement.
“I couldn’t ask for anything better. I think this truck was so fast,” the actor told Fox Sports after the race. “I know I have to prove myself here.”
