Frankie Muniz was rushed to a local medical facility after crashing his vehicle during practice at Daytona International Speedway, TMZ has confirmed.
A spokesperson for Ford Racing stated that the actor and racer was transported for evaluation following the incident. While reports indicate Muniz is awake and alert, he will not compete in Wednesday night's event, the Ford Veterans Day Classic.
The exhibition race features 12 drivers from various racing disciplines, including NASCAR, competing to honor the six branches of the U.S. military. A photograph of the Team Air Force car Muniz was scheduled to drive shows significant damage to the roof following the crash.
Muniz, who began his racing career in 2004, currently competes in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, where he drives a Ford F-150. Bryan Cranston, who played Muniz's father on the television series "Malcolm in the Middle," was reportedly scheduled to attend the race to support him.
This marks Muniz's second crash of the year. He previously wrecked a truck themed after "Malcolm in the Middle" in April, shortly before the show's revival premiered.
