Frankie Muniz says he's recovering after crash at Daytona International Speedway
On Wednesday, NASCAR driver and 'Malcolm in the Middle' star Frankie Muniz crashed his Ford Mustang Dark Horse R while practicing at Daytona International Speedway in Florida, requiring hospitalization.
Muniz was preparing for the 'Ford's Proud to Honor Veterans Day Classic,' a charity exhibition benefiting military nonprofits where he was scheduled to represent Team Air Force alongside Austin Cindric.
Safety crews cut the roof off the vehicle to extract the driver after he struck a tire barrier on the infield course during a closed practice session, according to Fox Sports.
Following his release from Halifax Health Medical Center on Wednesday, Muniz broke his silence on social media, stating he avoided major injuries and is now 'grateful to be walking right now.'
Heading home to Phoenix to recover, Muniz noted that Ford Racing data analysis confirmed the vehicle functioned correctly, and he is already 'looking forward to getting back on the track soon.
