His enthusiasm is awesome to see! Any sponsor looking for a spokesperson should be knocking on his door!

[@onionhead5780]

Agreed! Heck they should be kicking his door down.

[@DirtyMoMedia]

For real! His energy is contagious.

[@Monty-in-gumboots]

Frankie goes to -Hollywood- NASCAR. Guess I will now be following the Craftsman Truck Series. Will definitely keep track of how you do Frankie.

[@paulywoodtheprince]

Im making a shirt for that Thats awesome

[@ThatKaseyDoggo]

I was running out of people to pull for in the truck series. Go kick some ass Frankie! You got this bro!

[@DavidCormier-er7em]

What a well-spoken man. I truly enjoyed this interview. This guy has the heart of a champion regretfully at 38 I don't see a championship. But I see some significant wins and satisfaction in his life in racing. What a truly great guy. man I really enjoyed this interview.

[@B_M_A]

Age means nothing. Being on a good team that supports you and actually has a good program going is what wins championships.

[@seanscorsonellibean2153]

I'm going to truly root for Frankie. A great guy that some of us grew up with or like me were already grown up watching Malcolm in the middle with their family. I wish all the luck to him.

[@IanTheMotorsportsMan_YT]

Frankie doing full-time in racing, now in NASCAR, made me rewatch Malcolm in the Middle again. Thanks Frankie :)

[@TheCloser424]

Wishing Frankie the best. Was watching his arca journey and it felt like he just couldn't catch a break trying to get experience and track time. Always felt like something happened to him, so I'm glad he'll be full time in NASCAR.

[@StickA-yd4fp]

Hard not to like him. Seems so genuine.

[@aronagmar]

Such a fan of Frankie! Grew up watching him and glad I still get to.

[@stephenullman4534]

I love that he's doing this. I'm very excited to see him very excited to be doing this. I hope he does very well in the truck series. I pray he's in a top notch ride. He really is a good driver.

[@AfterX1]

THANK YOU for posting the full thing. Requests, answered!

[@DirtyMoMedia]

ASK and you shall receive! We appreciate you watching.

[@ContentBoatLake-mw1dx]

Hell yes man I wish you tons of luck there Frankie

[@elliotporterfield6921]

Frankie was kicking butt in ARCA before the money fell off. Glad he has this opportunity.

[@JJA1987]

How can you not root for Frankie even if you grew up watching Malcom

[@AR_420]

I came off the assembly line in 1981. Grew up watching his shows, for the most part. So neat to see him be happy as a race car driver and being level headed

[@rickknakal6969]

Good luck Frankie. It seems the hardest thing is that you don’t get to practice driving the truck more than 20 minutes at each track before the race and if you don’t perform well people hate on you. I hope you have a team that can help you improve and not needing you to help them improve if that makes sense.

[@Jumbo_Jimbo_in_Limbo]

Love Frankie's story. Wishing him the best of luck.

[@aaronhendrickson450]

Big Fat Liar was always one of my favorite movies! Been following along with his racing career for awhile. Ready to see what he can do in the trucks!

[@jmichaelhpaul]

Great to see him get a chance to go truck racing full time. One of his best roles was an episode of Criminal Minds. Amazing guest role. Wish him luck next season!

[@HeyItsEmilyLove]

This is awesome! I love watching him race! I can’t wait to be able to see him out there each week. I’m still hoping to get into a race with him on iRacing lol

[@stinkybeagle]

Good dude. Can't wait to see him develop and whenever the first win is, it will be fun to see.

[@Ethan_Nascarfan]

I will be rooting for him next year so excited for u Frankie

[@pamelamaloy9778]

So dang proud of him and can't wait to see what he's got❣️🥰

[@ObviouslyKieran]

Did not see one of my favourite shows as a kid crossing over into one my favourite sports coming.

[@DirtyMoMedia]

Right? We're here for it.

[@USSEnterprise-vc9yf]

He’s been chasing this dream for a while and I’ll definitely be rooting for him

[@bertpulaski2492]

I hope he has nothing but success. Would love to see him become the next Paul Newman.

[@coinmagnetjr]

Raced with Frankie yesterday on Iracing. Outstanding guy

[@JadeWestTristan]

I'm so proud of him for going after his dreams other celebrities should learn to be like him

[@jameshunt649]

Good luck Frankie !

[@chrisodie2467]

Good lord..interview is hot AF! AND WELL SPOKEN!!

[@terrigoggin4443]

Frankie, I’ll be watching you!!!!

[@DavidClark-vu3dw]

Dude, I never watched the show you were on but I'll be pulling for you!

[@adamj5520]

Thats awesome to see Frankie race in trucks. I cant wait to see him run

[@mikeskidmore6754]

Steve McQueen and Paul Newman were real racers. James Garner was an off road racer. Steve McQueen was a seriously good Motorcycle dessert racer too. Jeff Ward Raced Indy Cars after he retired from Motocross.

[@eklypised]

Man Malcom in the Middle is a dam classic show

[@Aec503]

Let's go Frankie 💪🏻

[@LorenzoVargas1981]

It’s crazy to think he has 19 years of pro racing experience,only now entering Nascar yet you still have keyboard warriors calling him entitled just because he was an actor.He’s spent more time racing than acting.I respect the hell out of him

[@texpelt8858]

I do wish we could've heard more about his involvement with Joey Gase Racing but nevertheless I am excited to watch him

[@428eliminator3]

Carla belongs on a NASCAR Broadcast Team.

[@rickymcu]

Def rooting for him!!

[@HoldMyBluntNascar]

Frankie for President!

[@davidbowles4457]

Glad to see you're sticking with ford

[@lawabidn]

Dude am I the only guy that was freaked out about his tiny legs? It can’t be just me

[@RollTheClockBack]

Love it!

[@0xOrganix]

LFG!!!

[@HankAaronJoseph19]

You're not the boss of me now. You're not the boss of me now, and you're not so big.

[@KingKidGoku32794]

"life is unfair"

[@CRAWLER3888]

Carla a baddie 🫢

[@KidLatin27]

Sounds like to me agent Cody Banks is on a mission to try to win a NASCAR truck race.😊

[@AR_420]

26:20😮😮😮😊❤

[@mikeskidmore6754]

Freedom, we all want out Freedom. I had a Pedal bike and I was free to go as far as I could pedal. I was into motorcycles and dirt bikes. I was more interested in getting a street Legal Motorycle at age 16. I live in Michigan where we get snow. My Birthday is in March. I got my first car a 1970 Chevy Impala when I was 16 in April. Fathers would not let me take their daughters on dates on a motorcycle like my 1976 Yamaha RD-400-C. So I ordered a band new 1979 Z-28 Camaro. The only car I ever bought new. Now days a New Harley Davidson costs 4 times more than I paid for the Camaro. I won some Spectator drags with it too.

[@AIC5150]

Dang, life is…unfaiiiiirrrr

[@ls_812]

How do you make it to Nascar?!? 1:57 💲💲💲💲 Thats how unfortunately

[@ihateracin]

Every Motorsport is like that bud

[@mikeskidmore6754]

If you have enough Money and lots of Ambition Race NASCAR R.I.P. Marty Robbins burned the Candle at Both ends. It did not cost as much to race back then I assume.
