Actor Frankie Muniz was hospitalized after a crash during a NASCAR warm-up session at Daytona on Saturday. Muniz was driving Team Air Force's No. 30 Ford Mustang Dark Horse in preparation for the Proud to Honor Veterans Day Classic exhibition race.
In a video posted to social media, Muniz said, "I’m doing OK. I’m extremely sore, but fortunately no major injuries. I’m not 100% sure how that’s the case, but that’s just a testament to how well-built the Ford Mustang Dark Horse are."
