Frankie Muniz to miss Darlington due to non-racing related injury: UPDATE

UPDATE: Frankie Muniz will return to the #33 this weekend at Talladega Superspeedway, following his recovery for a fractured wrist.

“I’m thrilled to announce that I’m officially BACK after that pesky broken wrist sidelined me. Docs gave me the green light, and I’m hitting the track again THIS WEEK at Talladega!

I’ve been itching to get behind the wheel, and this break only fired me up more. Super motivated to crush it and finish the season strong!”

Original post (August 28, 2025): Frankie Muniz was involved in an accident at his home in Arizona yesterday morning, where he suffered a distal radius fracture in his wrist. Currently, there is no timeline for his return. Our focus is on a speedy recovery and competing together again soon.

Mason Maggio will race the No. 33 this weekend in place of Frankie.

AND: The phrase “FML” (Frankie Muniz’s Life) takes on new meaning with moments like these. I’m disappointed to share that I won’t be racing at Darlington this weekend or for the next few weeks due to a distal radius fracture. Yesterday, I fell from the top of a ladder while changing the batteries in a Ring camera in my backyard. Note to self: heed the ladder warning that says, “Do not sit or stand on top step.” In hindsight, a taller ladder would’ve been smarter. While I’m gutted to miss the races, I’m grateful it wasn’t worse. I feel for my team, who’ve poured their hearts into this season, and I’m thankful for Ford Performance and their unwavering support. The doctor estimates a 6-8 week recovery, so I’ll be back in the driver’s seat as soon as I’m cleared.
