Frankie Muniz Moving Up The NASCAR Ranks!

[@BoxInThisLapVR46]

Well done Malcolm Wilkerson

[@Magulousmous]

When was his last name ever mentioned in the show anyway?

[@TaylorBMcardle]

I think for Frankie in his part time season this year in Xfinity is to just run the laps and gain experience in each outing. I know it's a mid-tier team but if he stays out of trouble, he'll be better in the long run. He impressed me in ARCA with what he had to work with

[@PyroBun_2844]

Muniz’s second half of 2023 is among the worst luck I’ve seen a driver had. Here’s to his Xfinity stint going better. 🤞

[@TheShockninja]

Amber Balcaen had an even worse 2022 in terms of luck. And almost none of it was her fault either.

[@Twinspinner]

I think he honestly outdrove his equipment and that's why it failed so much. Once the sponsorship dried up halfway through the year, they were running on old equipment, and it was clear that it couldn't hold up to how fast Frankie was capable of running, and things would go wrong

[@austinemms9772]

At this rate, I want to see him try for the Daytona 500 just for fun of it. Good job and keep up the grind, Malcolm!

[@scsutton1]

Plot twist: This is actually all part of Agent Cody Banks 3: Destination NASCAR.

[@arthuralford]

For everyone who says he should have gone to trucks, go look at the truck series finale and see how much "quality" there is in that series. A part-time Xfinity schedule with a team that nobody is expecting much out of gives him a place to grow and develop, and to show that he's capable of competing with the big boys

[@caseysmith544]

Yeah, for now there only seems to be a few drivers with series who are quality drivers or have been in series for a while now and run okay, most have recently moved up in rank due to being ready or dropped down due to a drop in racing from driver more recently .

[@ColtonGoertz]

He’s also 38. If he wanted to go, he has to go now.

[@CSDonohue11]

Malcom in The Middle of The Track

[@SilverThunder710]

💀💀💀💀

[@kevinramsey417]

Good for him, good luck Frankie.

[@thejosh_roberts]

Good luck Frankie

[@DrDerpPlays]

i think as long as he can stay out of trouble, complete as many laps as possible, and maybe shoot for a top 20, i think that be a successful season

[@patrickkennedy2533]

Frankie always did good in the Toyota Celebrity races along with Alfonso Ribero

[@willengland7336]

He was better than his equipment last year in my opinion and he will be this year as well. A top 15 finish at Daytona will be a successful run for him in my opinion.

[@afterburner119]

Im happy for him, guy has just fought to get here

[@CSDonohue11]

That’s Dope It will bring some more eyes back on XFINITY Series 👁️ like it 👍

[@kyleurbanik1879]

So cool that Frankie got into racing! I’m rooting for him

[@WhoCanKnowIt]

People forget that Frankie Muniz was also the drummer of a nationally-touring rock band between acting and racing. Dude has lived a lot of life. Hoping he gets some more seat time in any series than just this part-time Xfinity schedule, though. That's what the guy needs more than anything.

[@rogertrout7694]

I hope Frankie has all the luck in the world! Happy to see him in the Xfinity series. I hope at least his luck is better than last year. Go Frankie!

[@Milton_Valenzuela]

Good for Frankie Muniz moving up into a big-time series. I imagine Joey Gase Motorsports will get more technical support from Ford

[@caseysmith544]

If not I hope FM gets more sponsorship for his team.

[@KazeShikamaru]

I can't believe Malcom is driving cars. This is so different and ironic.

[@r0b3rt_959]

Another stepping stone on his way to the White House

[@CSDonohue11]

3:34 That was a heck of a save That drive tried to spin the actor and play Frankie out But Frankie showed He’s for real with that save No BS There’s spoiled dudes in the top 3 series RN that wouldn’t have saved that

[@caseysmith544]

Yes, and he could act like a spoiled rich kid with money to burn seeing he might have residuals from Malcom and Middle reruns/sales of his DVD's/VHS in the past besides his initial pay from show, not to mention his Agent Cody Banks 2 movies.

[@stevendamenace]

Hope he does good , I really think he can do good in xfinity🔥💯

[@Twinspinner]

Still holding out hope that the part time racing opens up some truck starts through the year for extra seat time, maybe a couple races in that 5th ThorSport truck

[@Nebraska93]

Kick some ass Frankie!!!!🤘🏻🏁🤘🏻

[@metronorthfoamer4085]

Frankie's journey is the way all drivers should emulate. He's building himself up little by little, from ARCA to a mid-tier Xfinity car, hopefully next year he can make a full-time good car. (Maybe the the RFK 60 comes back into the Xfinity series full time), and even a 60 car part time debut in 2025. He is rushing a little, but he has to. Hopefully he can be the next Harry Gant.

[@ollieminecraft]

Muniz's Kansas crash happened near where me and my family were sitting.

[@jeff119990]

congrats to him for chasing his dream. i wish him all the best.

[@jinglebell61]

Future uploads: Random Drivers: Jeff Purvis and Revisiting Trevor Bayne.

[@RobTheGreenEngine]

This to me is the NASCAR equivalent of when Emmerdale actor Kelvin Fletcher started racing in the British Touring Car Championship and to put it simply, he wasn’t ready. It will be cool to see Frankie succeed as long as it’s a gradual progression and his talent is the thing getting him these drives and not his name.

[@csmith6583]

His name will get him the ride but thats far from uncommon. Look at all the 2nd and 3rd gen racers in the cup series. It's all about what they do with the opportunity

[@foxninjagaming]

#MALCOM2CUP

[@Uncultured_Barbarian465]

Good for him, he gets to do something that he loves, and he's getting better at it. I'd love to see him race at Daytona someday soon.

[@Halfstep2024]

When he makes it to the big show I’ll start watching again. Can’t wait to see him on the download too cause we all know it’s just a matter of time.

[@crazydrummer181]

I specifically remember feeling a little jealous seeing him get to ride in the pace car before the 2001 500. It’s crazy how long ago that was. I miss being a kid lol

[@lewiskemp5893]

Im a fan and wish him the best. Im watching him and my pilot Mover race and pulling for both.

[@revrasheemstewart]

I am happy for Frankie and I am looking forward to seeing what he can do in Xfinity. 😊

[@kpegc]

I actually remember him quite well from his days as a Champ Car Atlantic Series driver. So I knew Muniz was a competent racer, but I wasn't sure how smooth his transition to stock cars would be, especially since he hadn't raced professionally in over 10 years. Now that he has one ARCA season under his belt, I think he's done quite a good job. Frankie's generally raced well and earned many good results. Considering how dominant the Venturini cars were last year, I think his efforts behind the wheel were very commendable. Frankie has an awesome attitude overall, and I hope he finds further success in his rise up the NASCAR ladder.

[@Jameswormsley03]

🔥🔥🔥

[@aaronlewellen5]

Love Frankie's story with his age he can't sit around waiting he's got to move up n see what he has?

[@incorrectbeans]

yo that's awesome good luck frankie

[@lastationproductions]

Well done glad to see Frankie doing well

[@chrisstopher2277]

I loved Malcom and the middle that was my elementary and middle school go to show. I hope he dominates. He seems like a genuine dude.

[@TheMNrailfan227]

3:41 I was here for this race

[@HeyItsEmilyLove]

Let’s go #35! I can’t wait to see him out there on the track

[@codyflannery-ux2jr]

Lets go Frankie

[@kvge9627]

Man this is the first time hearing about this, good for him

[@WithFearGaming]

I'm rooting for Frankie in the Xfinity Series 🔥 hopefully next season he can get a full-time ride in a more competitive car

[@TTFNG063]

I only knew Frankie Muniz for his role on “Malcolm in the Middle”, and now seeing the news that he will attempt to make his debut in the Xfinity Series at Daytona (that I went to last year), I just got one thing to say: “Go get ‘em, Malcolm.” -would be better if he was in a Chevrolet tho-

[@caseysmith544]

Also in the low budget Agent Cody Banks, of 2 movies only first was okay and watchable.

[@twocubez7848]

I honestly have to thank him for first getting me into NASCAR. I remember all those years ago where there was a MITM episode where Hal took the boys to a NASCAR race. I remember him fantasizing about being part of the #15 NAPA car’s pit crew. So when I saw that that car win the 2003 Daytona 500 (under a rain delay, I know), I picked Michael Waltrip as my favorite driver. Keep at it, Frankie!

[@imallfordabulls]

DAYTONAAAAAAAA

[@GCrypson]

Progressing into Xfinity means we can call him Frank Muniz now.

[@NASCARFAN93100]

Frankie Muniz is a Legend

[@DragonStar524]

High Hopes for Frankie. He's a great driver.

[@WHysell]

Xfinity series was a good move for him. I'm looking forward to seeing what he can do. Great video, BFM.

[@taylorbertrim7625]

Awesome that he had more passion for driving than acting. I'm excited to watch him, I just hope he does well.

[@shantanubhatia7873]

Not that I'm complaining but how come so many nascar youtubers use Persona 5 music

[@BlackFlagsMatter]

Cause it’s awesome!

[@PuckADV]

Legit ran practice with him in iracing in the xfinity car

[@yovanigiron7521]

Wow Malcolm has a great future job and he is famous

[@alaricbragg7843]

Paul Newman of the 2020s. He is actually very experienced and can punch above his weight.

[@pattyatrumdycreations134]

Frankie has the need for speed. I hope he does well. Hey, are you going you create another NWP fantasy league? I went to sign up and both teams were already full.

[@TriaBlunt]

Hell yes😂

[@theunwelcome]

on the one hand, I am a little jealous of the opportunities he gets due to his status; I've been as big a fan of racing for even longer, but some actor gets the chances, you know, that sort of thing on the other hand, and more importantly, he's doing what he wants to do, you can see the passion and drive, so go get it dude! and the fact that the pool of "other talented drivers" can't produce anything better than Jessie Love is kinda sad anyway

[@ryanjones4106]

I genuinely hope he gets to the cup series

[@BurnoutsByTheBay]

👏👏👏

[@ClinicalDecisionYikesYT]

Agent Cody Banks.

[@RetroRich91]

Better than most truck drivers

[@YoSuey]

Makes sense to just move up to Xfinity. Gonna be driving half of the xfinity field anyways if he went truck.

[@MustangChuck]

Anyone have a link to the Joey Gase skit they were talking about? I'd like to see it but I can't find it.

[@ellatinonation]

“3 wide, Malcom your in the middle”

[@jc1424]

I think he should run Xfinity part time, ARCA full-time this year. But idk if that's still in the funds.

[@undergroundbuzz]

Daytona in 2001 oh no

[@zachill]

Ah yes “Reh-Tay” Jones Racing 😭💀

[@andrewahern3730]

Make Rusty Malcolm proud

[@caseysmith544]

I think going up is right move to Xfinity for a few races, skip truck as basically younger drivers who are using series as a stepping stone to prove they can go up from ARCA to NASCAR, and I think skipping trucks would be a better move for drivers coming from ARCA as ARCA is like a Weak version of Xfinity or an overpowered NASCAR modern Sportsman series.

[@JmarcusKmart12]

My Predicment he moving to cup in 2026 or 2027

[@BadWallaby]

Malcom in the middle of the pack now

[@Haulinbassracing]

I raced formula vee with him on iracing

[@Nobody-xe9fc]

Maybe next year we can call him Malcolm in the Middle of the Pack?

[@superdriver777]

Gimmick or not, I'm kinda rooting for him

[@handsomedevil4928]

Marty Robbins

[@nathanwtp95]

Persona 5 music?!

[@CrepzoUk]

Rusty malcolm

[@joegibbsfan6082]

Bad seasons William Byron 2018

[@cseabrook3]

Not trucks but when hes not driving xfinity he should do menards and late models

[@cseabrook3]

Be apart of the CARS series maybe

[@InfieldIke]

Truck series wouldn’t work for Frankie.. I think they made the best decision for him.

[@brandensimmons653]

At least he ain't doing the truck series that is a dumpster fire

[@SlimSavageBlanco]

Well so far it has been a complete disaster. I want this dude to figure this out but boy he's got a giant hill to climb and he doesn't have shoes on and there is an avalanche heading straight toward him. Comeon Frankie, you got this. Just stay the hell away from Hailie Deegan unless you enjoy being rammed straight into anything she sees. You will regret driving close to her.

[@Sam-el6hq]

SpoonFed

[@runrafarunthebestintheworld]

Pfft 😅

[@justinl8791]

Oh shit, I didn't know Malcolm NOT in the Middle anymore grew up to be a pretty good racing driver.
