Frankie Muniz Opens Up About NASCAR, Mental Health

Frankie Muniz, best known for 'Malcolm in the Middle,' is competing in the NASCAR Truck Series, where he is currently 24th in the standings after a season marked by mechanical failures, multiple DNFs, and a 23rd-place finish at Rockingham Speedway due to a burst power steering line. Muniz has been open about the mental health challenges these setbacks have caused, sharing his struggles publicly and drawing significant support from fans, fellow racers, and public figures like MrBeast. This openness has contributed to growing destigmatization of mental health discussions within the sports community. Despite adversity and criticism, Muniz remains committed to earning respect as a legitimate NASCAR driver. He is also filming a four-episode 'Malcolm in the Middle' reboot for Disney+, set to reunite much of the original cast. Muniz continues to balance his dual careers in racing and acting.
