(KTLA) -- Actor Frankie Muniz has been taken to the hospital following an "incident" at Daytona International Speedway on Wednesday.
The "Malcolm in the Middle" star was involved "in an incident" while practicing for Ford’s Proud to Honor Veterans Day Classic at Daytona International Speedway. The 40-year-old drives the No. 33 Team Reaume Ford full-time in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series.
In a post on X, Team Reaume issued a statement saying that the actor "was taken to a local medical facility for further evaluation and is awake and alert."
"We'll share updates as they become available," the statement continued. "Thank you for your support and for respecting Frankie's privacy at this time."
Muniz was set to partner with Cup Series driver Austin Cindric, and they were representing the United States Air Force. The Daytona Beach News-Journal said a replacement wasn't announced for the exhibition.
The race itself is "a first-of-its-kind military tribute race, with six teams competing to honor each branch of the armed forces: Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, Space Force, and Coast Guard," according to the event's website.
For the past two seasons, the Emmy-nominated actor has driven the No. 33 Team Reaume Ford full-time in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series.
In 2025, he achieved his best career finish, which was 10th in the Daytona season opener. He started his career in stock-car racing in 2023 by running full-time in the ARCA Menards Series for Rette Jones Racing.
