“It is with the greatest of excitement, optimism and gratitude that I join Rette Jones Racing for the full ARCA Menards Series schedule this year. Since I was a child my dream has been to compete in NASCAR and it was important to me to associate myself with a team that ranked with my goals. I hope not only to show my ability on the track and how serious I am in my racing career, but also to show my son what it is to follow your dreams and reinvent yourself,” shared the American actor of Puerto Rican origin. 37 years old.
Videos have been shared of a young Frankie who was excited to be on the Nascar track and now seeing his dream come true has moved his fans.
In this clip from the 2001 Daytona 500, Frankie Muniz is in the pace car while the car seen behind him is Sterling Marlin’s #40
22 years later, Marlin’s chassis from that race is still racing in ARCA with Rette-Jones, and is likely the car Muniz himself will race at Daytona 🤯 https://t.co/gciCbE9NsS pic.twitter.com/qch8sllNXj

It must be remembered that “Malcolm” bears that name in the series in honor of Rusty Malcolm, a pilot who was the great idol of “Hal” (Bryan Cranston). Everything goes around, but in the race they all go together.
