Frankie Muniz’s hope of victory were dashed suddenly when he was involved in a multi-vehicle crash  in Phoenix, Arizona on Friday night. 

The former I’m A Celebrity star, 38, was slightly injured during the pileup, which took place during the 99th lap of the 150 lap race at the Phoenix raceway. 

According to Sportskeeda, the former Malcom in the Middle star’s #27 Ford F-150 was involved in the crash after fellow driver Connor Mosack hit the wall on the second turn.

Other drivers involved in the crash were Tyler Ankrum, Stefan Parsons, Thad Moffitt, William Salawich, Andres Perez de Lara, Spencer Boyd and Stewart Friesen. 

The former actor was seen limping toward an ambulance after the crash in a video, unloaded on X by journalist Noah Lewis.

After medics gave him the all clear, the driver spoke about the disappointing end to the race.

Muniz, who has signed with RBR teams to go full-time in 2025, tried to see the bright side of the experience.

‘I felt like I got a good opportunity to run with some guys,’ he told journalist Peter Strata in an interview posted on X,’ I made a few pᴀsses, lost a few a spots on re-starts… it was good for me to figure out how to get by people… so that was really positive.’

Describing the crash, he said, ‘There was no where for me to go.’

‘I got hit from behind into the 42 and then the 42 got moved and the 18 was stopped and I went right into him. I don’t feel there was anything I could have done there,’ he explained.

The Miracle in Lane 2 star said the past season wasn’t what he had hoped for, but, ‘this proved I can race with guys, I can pᴀss here.’

Looking forward to next season, Muniz claimed, ‘we’re going to be better next year and I’ve got the whole off-season to prepare.’

Muniz hasn’t completely given up acting.
