Yahoo Autos Muniz lands full-time NASCAR Truck Series ride with Reaume
Frankie Muniz will contest a full NASCAR national championship season for the first time in 2025 as driver of Reaume Brothers Racing’s No. 33 Ford in the Craftsman Truck Series.
Muniz has made two starts with Reaume Brothers Racing this season, at Nashville and Kansas, and aims to spend the remaining races preparing for his expanded program.
“I’m incredibly excited to join Reaume Brothers Racing full-time in 2025,” Muniz said. “My longstanding relationship with Ford has been a game changer, and I am thrilled to help facilitate additional support allowing us to tap into their exceptional technical and engineering resources. I’m confident that this synergy will elevate Reaume Brothers Racing and help us achieve great things together. I can’t wait to get started.”
Muniz’s last full-time campaign was in the ARCA Menards Series in 2023, where he collected one top-five and 11 top-10 finishes, ultimately finishing fourth in the championship. He has since made sporadic appearances in the Xfinity Series.
“We’re thrilled to welcome Frankie to our team full-time and to expand our relationship with Ford Performance,” team owner Josh Reaume said. “Their support has been invaluable, and we believe that with Frankie’s passion and our collective momentum from this year, we can make significant strides in the upcoming season.”
An actor who made his name playing the lead character in the Fox sitcom “Malcolm in the Middle” between 2000 and 2006 — for which he earned an Emmy Award nomination and two Golden Globe nominations — Muniz’s interest in racing extends back to 2004, when he made the first of four appearances in the Toyota Pro/Celebrity Race at Long Beach. He used that as a springboard to open-wheelers, completing several seasons of Formula BMW and Champ Car’s Atlantic Championship, before taking a hiatus from racing. When he returned, it was in stock cars, making his debut in the SRL Pro Late Model Series at California’s Kern County Raceway Park in October, 2021.
