LINCOLN, Ala. \u2014 2025 will not be the last we see of Frankie Muniz<\/a>\u2018s foray into NASCAR.<\/p>\n

The actor-turned-racecar driver confirmed to Frontstretch on Oct. 17 that he will be back behind the wheel in 2026.<\/p>\n

\u201cOh yeah, 100%, I\u2019ll be racing something for sure,\u201d Muniz tells Frontstretch. \u201cYeah, we\u2019ll see. I can\u2019t say too much.\u201d<\/p>\n

As for what team or what series Muniz will be driving for, those parts remain unknown. However, wherever he does end up, the car or truck will have a Ford emblem on the nose, he says.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve got a few options right now in different series, and just being honest, obviously, [I will] continue my relationship with Ford,\u201d Muniz said. \u201cI take the direction they want to push me in, I\u2019ll go. We\u2019re discussing it all right now.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut yeah, I\u2019ve got some options, and we\u2019ll see what happens. But I would like to drive a truck again, so we\u2019ll see.\u201d<\/p>\n

This year was Muniz\u2019s first full-time one in a NASCAR national series. He competed as a rookie for Reaume Brothers Racing in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, posting one top 10 and three top 20s in 18 starts before a broken wrist<\/a> from an accident at home sidelined him for four races. The 39-year-old returned from the injury to race at Talladega Superspeedway this weekend.<\/p>\n
