Frankie Muniz has been hospitalized following a crash during practice for Wednesday night’s Ford Proud To Honor Veterans Day Classic all-star charity race at Daytona International Speedway.
Muniz was one of a dozen Ford Racing drivers slated to compete in the event, which features identical Ford Mustang Dark Horse R competition cars.
Details on the incident have not yet emerged, but Team Reaume, Muniz’s NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series team, issued a statement updating his condition.
“Frankie Muniz was involved in an incident while practicing for today’s Proud to Honor event at Daytona International Speedway. He was taken to a local medical facility for further evaluation and is awake and alert. We’ll share updates as they become available. Thank you for your support and for respecting Frankie’s privacy at this time,” the team said.

Muniz finished 25th in the Truck Series standings this season, but won the Pirelli GT4 America Am class championship in a Mustang with teammate Tyler Stone.
Ryan Blaney also dropped out of the Veterans Day Classic due to an injury he suffered during a fall earlier this week. The lineup includes Joey Logano, Austin Cindric and Noah Gragson.
