NASCAR driver, Frankie Muniz, also known for his acting career, has started a social media campaign to raise $25,000 to send 10 kids to Victory Junction, a year-round camp that offers fun, life-changing experiences to children living with complex medical and physical needs.

Muniz, who races the number 33 Ford F-150 for Reaume Brothers Racing in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, visited Victory Junction on August 5, to participate in the Camp’s NASCARnival, a weekly celebration during summer camp that features hot air balloons, games, fun snacks, and an actual NASCAR-style pit stop. During the celebration, Muniz drove Victory Junction’s race car while a pit crew changed tires in front of cheering campers.

 

In one of his recently posted social media videos which features highlights of his trip to Camp, Muniz said, “I recently visited Victory Junction and met some kids whose courage and joy inspired me to help. This is your chance to help kids have fun, find community, and build confidence they’ll carry long after their time at Camp.”

Mustang Challenge to Feature NASCAR Driver Frankie Muniz

Mustang Challenge to Feature NASCAR Driver Frankie Muniz

COTA on August 31 -September. 1

Frankie Muniz takes to the track this weekend for round four of the @IMSA -sanctioned Mustang Challenge series at @COTA.

 

Ford Performance NASCAR Xfinity and Craftsman Truck Series driver Frankie Muniz will join the Mustang Challenge field for its fourth event at Circuit of The Americas.

 

Ford Performance's global racing program allows top drivers opportunities to race various Mustang models across elite competitions. In 2024, fans have seen drivers like Australian Supercars veteran Cam Waters and IMSA standout Joey Hand compete in single-event NASCAR Cup Series races. 

 

Now, NASCAR up-and-comer Muniz will pilot the Mustang Dark Horse R in the Mustang Challenge during the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) Lone Star Le Mans weekend at Circuit of The Americas on Aug. 31 -Sept. 1.

 

“I was a part of the Mustang Dark Horse R launch, and ever since, all I’ve wanted to do is race in the Mustang Challenge,” said Muniz. “To have a full field in its first races this year, you know it’s going to be so fun and competitive. I was thrilled when the opportunity came to drive the Dark Horse R at COTA. This is one of the few road courses where I’ve yet to compete, so I’m excited to experience a new course and series with the Dark Horse R.”

 

Muniz made his NASCAR racing debut with Ford in February 2023, reigniting his passion for motorsports at Daytona International Speedway. Since then, his unrelenting pursuit and ready racecraft have helped promote him through the ranks – from the ARCA Menards Series to sharing a seat in the Xfinity and Craftsman Truck Series this season.

 

While Muniz has transitioned into the world of NASCAR, his initial foray into racing was in the open-wheeled racing arena. Notably, he participated in the ChampCar Atlantic Championship from 2007-09.

 

“As a driver, you just want to get the most experience you can, in anything you can, and Ford Performance has afforded me that opportunity," Muniz said. "I’ve been on this NASCAR journey, but this is another incredible opportunity to race in a major series. I can see doing more races like these in the future.”

 

The Mustang Challenge, an IMSA-sanctioned single-make series featuring the Dark Horse R, will complete the weekend’s Mustang lineup, highlighted by the two-car Proton Competition Mustang GT3 customer program set to take on the six-hour WEC Lone Star Le Mans main event.

 

The multi-race event for the Mustang Challenge will be livestreamed on the Official Ford Performance YouTube channel, where Muniz will join John Hindhaugh in the broadcast booth as a commentator for Sunday’s Mustang Challenge race.
