NASCAR Truck Driver Frankie Muniz Breaks Wrist, Misses Darlington Race

Frankie Muniz, NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series driver and former child actor, will miss the upcoming race at Darlington Raceway and likely six to eight weeks of competition after fracturing his wrist in a fall from a ladder at his home in Arizona. The injury interrupts Muniz's first full-time Truck Series season, in which he currently ranks 24th in the standings with one top-10 finish despite facing mechanical issues and other setbacks. Muniz expressed disappointment but gratitude that the injury was not worse, thanking his team and Ford Performance for their support and pledging to return once medically cleared. Mason Maggio will substitute for Muniz in the No. 33 Ford at Darlington this weekend. With seven races left in the season and Muniz's recovery timeline overlapping most of them, his return before the end of the season remains uncertain. This injury adds to the challenges Muniz has faced as he transitions from his acting career to professional racing.
