Frankie Muniz, 39, is competing full-time in the NASCAR Truck Series this year as the driver of the No. 33 Reaume Brothers Racing Ford. Unfortunately, he will miss the 19th round of the 2025 season at Darlington on Saturday, due to a wrist injury he sustained at home.
"The phrase "FML" (Frankie Muniz's Life) takes on new meaning with moments like these," Muniz posted on social media. "I'm disappointed to share that I won’t be racing at Darlington this weekend or for the next few weeks due to a distal radius fracture.
"Yesterday, I fell from the top of a ladder while changing the batteries in a Ring camera in my backyard. Note to self: heed the ladder warning that says, "Do not sit or stand on top step." In hindsight, a taller ladder would’ve been smarter. While I’m gutted to miss the races, I’m grateful it wasn’t worse. I feel for my team, who’ve poured their hearts into this season, and I’m thankful for Ford Performance and their unwavering support. The doctor estimates a 6-8 week recovery, so I’ll be back in the driver’s seat as soon as I’m cleared."
The team will utilize Mason Maggio behind the wheel of the No. 33 truck this weekend.
Muniz's rookie season started off strong with a top ten finish at Daytona, but it's been a bit rocky since then. His only other finishes inside the top 20 came at Michigan where he placed 14th and Pocono where he placed 19th. He currently sits 24th in the championship standings, which is last among full-time drivers.
Previously, he raced in ARCA where he recorded one top five and eleven top tens, placing fourth in the championship during the 2023 season. His career also includes two Xfinity Series starts last year, finishing 33rd at Daytona and 30th at Phoenix.
