In the days leading up to Daytona, racer Frankie Muniz — who is famous for his roles in countless films and shows, such as Agent Cody Banks, Big Fat Liar and Malcolm in the Middle — competed in the NASCAR Truck Series in Daytona on Friday, February 14. While speaking with FOX Sports, Frankie celebrated finishing 11th overall in the race.
“I couldn’t ask for anything better. I think this truck was so fast,” he told the outlet, before adding, “I know I have to prove myself here. Last year, I didn’t have the opportunity to do that. And not that this does fully that. This is great; this is a step. Hopefully, I earn respect.”
