What is Frankie Muniz from "Malcolm in the Middle" doing in an Atlantic Series car?
He is racing an entry for Jensen MotorSport, one of three in the developmental series for Champ Car. He qualified 25th out of 30 cars that startedin the Atlantic race on Sunday.
He finished the race in in 19th place, surviving a series of crashes that took out much more experienced drivers.
"He's definitely improved a lot since he started," said Raphael Matos, winner of the Atlantic Series race. "The performance is there. He just needs to find it."
Muniz said he is putting his acting career on hold to pursue his auto racing aspirations.
Looks like winning the Toyota Pro/Celebrity race in the Grand Prix of Long Beach a couple years ago gave him some tremendous confidence.
"This race felt good," Muniz said. "I was a little disappointed in qualifying, but I was happy to be out there today. I had a great start to the race. I passed six cars at the start of the race. I was happy to be out there the whole race. It just proves the kind of shape that I'm in. I had a lot of fun and I learned a lot and I can't wait for the next race (in Houston)."
