I&#8217;m disappointed to share that I won\u2019t 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, &#8220;Do not sit or stand on top step.&#8221; In hindsight, a taller ladder would\u2019ve been smarter. While I\u2019m gutted to miss the races, I\u2019m grateful it wasn\u2019t worse. I feel for my team, who\u2019ve poured their hearts into this season, and I\u2019m thankful for\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>@FordPerformance and their unwavering support. The doctor estimates a 6-8 week recovery, so I\u2019ll be back in the driver\u2019s seat as soon as I\u2019m cleared.<\/p>\n<p>No Frankie! Say it isn&#8217;t so, Frankie! This is as brutal of an injury as I can remember, simply because of how easy it can happen. You go out there to do dad\/man of the house stuff, change batteries in a camera and the next thing you know you&#8217;re falling off a ladder. We&#8217;re all rooting for Frankie, especially after this in July<\/p>\n<p>I personally love Frankie Muniz because the guy loves college hoops\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Not to mention Malcom in the Middle had an elite theme song<\/p>\n<p>He&#8217;s been in the racing world for a little bit now and is racing in the Craftsman Truck Series, ranked 24th. He talked about it on PMT<\/p>\n<p>And now he&#8217;s hurt. Brutal, man. Look, I get being strong and doing normal things, but you gotta find someone to get on the ladder for you. Ladders are terrifying, you have a wrong step, a quick gust of wind, things that can be avoided. Do love that he made a joke out of it. FML being Frankie Muniz&#8217;s Life is a hilarious way to start a tweet saying you suffered a freak injury and can&#8217;t race. Listen to your own advice, Frankie. No more standing on the top step, that&#8217;s basically rule number 1 when climbing a ladder. Either way, we&#8217;re gonna get Frankie back in the car and eventually win the Daytona 500. Not an if, but a when.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The phrase &#8220;FML&#8221; (Frankie Muniz&#8217;s Life) takes on new meaning with moments like these.
