    Well done Malcolm Wilkerson

      When was his last name ever mentioned in the show anyway?

  • @TaylorBMcardle
    @TaylorBMcardle Před 6 měsíci +71

    I think for Frankie in his part time season this year in Xfinity is to just run the laps and gain experience in each outing. I know it's a mid-tier team but if he stays out of trouble, he'll be better in the long run. He impressed me in ARCA with what he had to work with

  • @austinemms9772
    @austinemms9772 Před 6 měsíci +47

    At this rate, I want to see him try for the Daytona 500 just for fun of it. Good job and keep up the grind, Malcolm!

    For everyone who says he should have gone to trucks, go look at the truck series finale and see how much "quality" there is in that series. A part-time Xfinity schedule with a team that nobody is expecting much out of gives him a place to grow and develop, and to show that he's capable of competing with the big boys

    • @caseysmith544
      @caseysmith544 Před 6 měsíci

      Yeah, for now there only seems to be a few drivers with series who are quality drivers or have been in series for a while now and run okay, most have recently moved up in rank due to being ready or dropped down due to a drop in racing from driver more recently .

    • @ColtonGoertz
      @ColtonGoertz Před 6 měsíci +1

      He’s also 38. If he wanted to go, he has to go now.

  • @PyroBun_2844
    @PyroBun_2844 Před 6 měsíci +62

    Muniz’s second half of 2023 is among the worst luck I’ve seen a driver had. Here’s to his Xfinity stint going better. 🤞

    • @TheShockninja
      @TheShockninja Před 6 měsíci +4

      Amber Balcaen had an even worse 2022 in terms of luck. And almost none of it was her fault either.

    • @Twinspinner
      @Twinspinner Před 6 měsíci +8

      I think he honestly outdrove his equipment and that's why it failed so much. Once the sponsorship dried up halfway through the year, they were running on old equipment, and it was clear that it couldn't hold up to how fast Frankie was capable of running, and things would go wrong

  • @kevinramsey417
    @kevinramsey417 Před 6 měsíci +21

    Frankie always did good in the Toyota Celebrity races along with Alfonso Ribero

  • @DrDerpPlays
    @DrDerpPlays Před 6 měsíci +5

    i think as long as he can stay out of trouble, complete as many laps as possible, and maybe shoot for a top 20, i think that be a successful season

  • @willengland7336
    @willengland7336 Před 6 měsíci +8

    He was better than his equipment last year in my opinion and he will be this year as well. A top 15 finish at Daytona will be a successful run for him in my opinion.

  • @CSDonohue11
    @CSDonohue11 Před 6 měsíci +8

    Good for Frankie Muniz moving up into a big-time series. I imagine Joey Gase Motorsports will get more technical support from Ford

      If not I hope FM gets more sponsorship for his team.

    3:34 That was a heck of a save
    That drive tried to spin the actor
    and play Frankie out
    But Frankie showed He’s for real with that save
    No BS
    There’s spoiled dudes in the top 3 series RN that wouldn’t have saved that

    • @caseysmith544
      @caseysmith544 Před 6 měsíci +2

      Yes, and he could act like a spoiled rich kid with money to burn seeing he might have residuals from Malcom and Middle reruns/sales of his DVD's/VHS in the past besides his initial pay from show, not to mention his Agent Cody Banks 2 movies.

  • @WhoCanKnowIt
    @WhoCanKnowIt Před 6 měsíci +2

    People forget that Frankie Muniz was also the drummer of a nationally-touring rock band between acting and racing. Dude has lived a lot of life.
    Hoping he gets some more seat time in any series than just this part-time Xfinity schedule, though. That's what the guy needs more than anything.

  • @KazeShikamaru

    I can't believe Malcom is driving cars. This is so different and ironic.

    Still holding out hope that the part time racing opens up some truck starts through the year for extra seat time, maybe a couple races in that 5th ThorSport truck

  • @kyleurbanik1879
    @kyleurbanik1879 Před 6 měsíci +1

    So cool that Frankie got into racing! I’m rooting for him

  • @metronorthfoamer4085
    @metronorthfoamer4085 Před 6 měsíci +1

    Frankie's journey is the way all drivers should emulate. He's building himself up little by little, from ARCA to a mid-tier Xfinity car, hopefully next year he can make a full-time good car. (Maybe the the RFK 60 comes back into the Xfinity series full time), and even a 60 car part time debut in 2025. He is rushing a little, but he has to. Hopefully he can be the next Harry Gant.

    Good for him, he gets to do something that he loves, and he's getting better at it. I'd love to see him race at Daytona someday soon.

  • @RobTheGreenEngine
    @RobTheGreenEngine Před 6 měsíci +1

    This to me is the NASCAR equivalent of when Emmerdale actor Kelvin Fletcher started racing in the British Touring Car Championship and to put it simply, he wasn’t ready. It will be cool to see Frankie succeed as long as it’s a gradual progression and his talent is the thing getting him these drives and not his name.

    • @csmith6583
      @csmith6583 Před 6 měsíci

      His name will get him the ride but thats far from uncommon. Look at all the 2nd and 3rd gen racers in the cup series. It's all about what they do with the opportunity

  • @Halfstep2024
    @Halfstep2024 Před 6 měsíci

    When he makes it to the big show I’ll start watching again. Can’t wait to see him on the download too cause we all know it’s just a matter of time.

  • @crazydrummer181
    @crazydrummer181 Před 6 měsíci

    I specifically remember feeling a little jealous seeing him get to ride in the pace car before the 2001 500. It’s crazy how long ago that was. I miss being a kid lol

    Progressing into Xfinity means we can call him Frank Muniz now.

  • @kpegc
    @kpegc Před 6 měsíci

    I actually remember him quite well from his days as a Champ Car Atlantic Series driver.
    So I knew Muniz was a competent racer, but I wasn't sure how smooth his transition to stock cars would be, especially since he hadn't raced professionally in over 10 years.
    Now that he has one ARCA season under his belt, I think he's done quite a good job. Frankie's generally raced well and earned many good results. Considering how dominant the Venturini cars were last year, I think his efforts behind the wheel were very commendable.
    Frankie has an awesome attitude overall, and I hope he finds further success in his rise up the NASCAR ladder.

  • @TTFNG063
    @TTFNG063 Před 6 měsíci +1

    I only knew Frankie Muniz for his role on “Malcolm in the Middle”, and now seeing the news that he will attempt to make his debut in the Xfinity Series at Daytona (that I went to last year), I just got one thing to say: “Go get ‘em, Malcolm.”
    -would be better if he was in a Chevrolet tho-

    • @caseysmith544

      Also in the low budget Agent Cody Banks, of 2 movies only first was okay and watchable.

  • @twocubez7848
    @twocubez7848 Před 6 měsíci

    I honestly have to thank him for first getting me into NASCAR. I remember all those years ago where there was a MITM episode where Hal took the boys to a NASCAR race. I remember him fantasizing about being part of the #15 NAPA car’s pit crew.
    So when I saw that that car win the 2003 Daytona 500 (under a rain delay, I know), I picked Michael Waltrip as my favorite driver. Keep at it, Frankie!

    on the one hand, I am a little jealous of the opportunities he gets due to his status; I've been as big a fan of racing for even longer, but some actor gets the chances, you know, that sort of thing
    on the other hand, and more importantly, he's doing what he wants to do, you can see the passion and drive, so go get it dude! and the fact that the pool of "other talented drivers" can't produce anything better than Jessie Love is kinda sad anyway

    I think going up is right move to Xfinity for a few races, skip truck as basically younger drivers who are using series as a stepping stone to prove they can go up from ARCA to NASCAR, and I think skipping trucks would be a better move for drivers coming from ARCA as ARCA is like a Weak version of Xfinity or an overpowered NASCAR modern Sportsman series.
