Frankie Muniz has joined a new NASCAR team and will compete in a series of Truck Series races this year. On Wednesday, it was announced that the actor has signed with Reaume Brothers Racing for several races throughout the 2024 season. Muniz will compete in the NASCAR Truck Series events at Nashville, Bristol and Kansas along with a lone appearance in the ARCA Menards Series at Michigan.
“I’m really excited to begin my NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series career with Reaume Brothers Racing,” Muniz said in a statement. “I visited the shop a few weeks ago, and I am very impressed with what all Josh (Reaume) has done to elevate his program. Being able to align myself with a program that is growing rapidly will only further elevate my performance behind the wheel. This year being a continued year of development in my career, it feels reassuring to partner with a program quickly developing to be a race-winning and championship-contending organization. I’m prepared to take on Nashville in the No. 22 Ford F-150!”
“Frankie brings a very unique opportunity to our race team in both his relationship with Ford Performance and his identity away from the racetrack,” Josh Reaume, owner of Reaume Brothers Racing, said in a statement. “We are excited to expand our relationship with Ford and also leverage on Frankie’s popularity to attract more partnerships and expand our racing schedule over time.”
