Muniz said that the birth of his first child, Mauz, in March 2021 inspired him to chase his dream of racing.

Muniz said he first dreamed of becoming a driver in 2004 when he won a tournament in Long Beach, California.

He also took part in the Toyota Pro/Celebrity Race in 2005 and 2011, placing third and second place, respectively.

Although it’s been more than a decade since he’s raced, he is set to make his season debut on January 14 in Daytona.

Muniz is best known for playing the title role in the ’00s sitcom Malcolm in the Middle, which earned him an Emmy nomination and two Golden Globe nominations.
