Frankie Muniz is keeping his racing options wide open. Fresh off winning the Pirelli GT4 America Am Class championship with Ford, he plans to race in the NASCAR Truck Series next season, though a full-time schedule is still undecided. Muniz says he wants to build on his NASCAR progress while continuing in sports cars—and expects another packed year behind the wheel.

By the Numbers
  • Muniz raced 42 times in 2026.
  • He clinched the GT4 America Am Class title on Oct. 11 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
  • He says he will race in the Truck Series in 2027, at least part time.
  • The Veterans Day Classic is scheduled for Nov. 11 at Daytona International Speedway, with 12 drivers entered.
Yes, But

Muniz’s GT4 title showed he can contend for wins in sports cars, a discipline he says suits his driving style. But he insists he is not ready to leave NASCAR: he still sees unfinished business in the Truck Series and wants to show the progress he and Team Reaume have made.

State of Play
  • His 2027 NASCAR schedule has not been finalized; a full-time return remains possible.
  • Muniz expects sports-car racing to remain a major focus, with potential opportunities beyond GT4.
  • He has three Truck Series races left this season: Talladega, Martinsville and Homestead.
What’s Next

Muniz and Ford are still working through next year’s schedule. He hopes to defend his GT4 title, pursue higher-level sports-car opportunities and continue with Team Reaume in the Truck Series.

Bottom Line

Muniz isn’t choosing between NASCAR and sports cars yet: his plan is to keep racing in both, with the schedule shaped by opportunity and a clear goal of turning NASCAR progress into stronger results.
