NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series driver and actor Frankie Muniz was transported to a local medical facility for further evaluation after an incident during practice on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, at Daytona International Speedway.
Muniz, 40, was preparing for Ford’s Proud To Honor Veterans Day Classic, an exhibition event honoring the military scheduled for Wednesday, November 11, 2026, at Daytona Beach, Florida.
According to a statement from Team Reaume carried by NASCAR.com, Muniz was involved in an incident while practicing for the event.
“Frankie Muniz was involved in an incident while practicing for today’s Proud to Honor event at Daytona International Speedway,” the team said. “He was taken to a local medical facility for further evaluation and is awake and alert. We’ll share updates as they become available. Thank you for your support and for respecting Frankie’s privacy at this time.”
Ford also confirmed that Muniz was transported to a medical facility and was awake and alert, according to USA Today.
Muniz was driving the No. 30 Ford Mustang Dark Horse R carrying an Air Force livery. He had been slated to partner with Cup Series driver Austin Cindric on a team representing the Air Force.
Ford Authority reported that Muniz will not compete in the evening’s event.
No details have been released on the cause of the crash or on any injuries beyond the team’s statement that he is awake and alert.
The Proud To Honor Veterans Day Classic is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, on USA Network.
Muniz previously walked away from a crash during an April NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race at Bristol Motor Speedway earlier this season.
USA Today also reported that Cup Series driver Ryan Blaney withdrew from the exhibition on Tuesday after a fall that required medical attention.
Further updates on Muniz were not included in the reporting available for this piece.
