I'm excited for the adventure to start...I'm really excited to see what the Bronco is capable of, you know what I mean?

I can think I did a great job in the movie and think I did a good job acting, and people see that, and they were like, 'Meh, it was okay.' [In NASCAR], if you're good and you belong, you're at the top of the leaderboard. At least you can see where you stand. I love that."Frankie Muniz ranks 24th in the Truck Series points table with 207 points to his credit. He secured one top-ten finish at the Daytona International Speedway, where he finished in P10.
