The 40-year-old actor turned NASCAR driver crashed during a practice session ahead of Ford's Proud to Honor charity event, an evening meant to celebrate military veterans. Instead it ended with Muniz being taken to a nearby medical facility.\n\nThe good news arrived fairly quickly. Muniz was evaluated and ultimately released from the hospital, and he was reported to be awake and alert following the crash. He offered his own update afterward, crediting his car for keeping him safe.\n\n\"I'm a little sore, but my Mustang did its job in protecting me,\" Muniz said in a statement after his release.\n\nMuniz had traveled to Daytona specifically for the Ford event, which was meant to honor veterans, before the crash cut his participation short. There is no word yet on what caused the wreck or whether it will affect his future racing plans, but for now the headline is the one every driver wants after a scary moment on track: he walked away.","published_at":"2026-11-13T00:34:32.675934+00:00","source_count":3,"written_from":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Frankie Muniz Shares Health Update After
