Muniz's manager has been contacted by news organizations, but no response has been received.
Muniz was getting ready to drive for Team show Force in the Proud to Honor Veterans Day Classic, which is scheduled to show on USA Network at 8 p.m. ET and be streamed on Fandango. The event involves Ford racers commemorating the six service branches.
The Agent Cody Banks actor has been concentrating on racing since declaring in 2023 that he was pursuing his love for the sport, even though he hasn't permanently given up on his acting profession.
"Ever since childhood, it's been my dream to pursue racing in NASCAR," at that point in time, he revealed this in a statement. "I look forward to not only demonstrating my ability on the track and just how serious I am in progressing in my racing career but also showing my son and family what it is to chase your dreams and re-invent yourself."
Muniz participated in his first professional race on February 18, 2023, coincidentally 22 years to the day after Dale Earnhardt's death during a race that Muniz personally attended. Muniz and his estranged wife Paige Price have a 5-year-old kid named Mauz.
Later on, he remembered the racing advice Earnhardt had given him on that fateful day.
“He told me, ‘Enjoy it, enjoy the run, because you never know when it’s gonna end,’” the 2026 FS1 documentary We've Lost Dale Earnhardt: 25 Years Later featured Muniz. “Maybe I talked to him for a total of three minutes. A very impactful three minutes. Especially where my life ended up going.”
