Actor Frankie Muniz Mocked After Yet Another DNF
Read the full story on Backfire News There's no doubt about it, actor Frankie Muniz is feeling it during his first full season in NASCAR. After earning his fourth DNF in a race for the season last Friday, unloading on the radio in his truck about it, then apologizing to those who heard his rant, he's being told by some he's just not cut out for racing and should stick to is a tough gig, that's for sure, but Muniz has been having an especially rough time. On May 2 during the 250 at Texas Motor Speedway, the actor turned racer was trending towards his best finish of the season. But tragedy struck when a tire on his truck blew, sending his Ford F-150 in the wall at Turn 2. With just 29 laps left in the race, his truck was done and he was awarded spot 25, thus earning his fourth DNF of the season. Obviously frustrated about the tire blowing and ending his race, Muniz yelled at the crew over the radio, 'How do I have this luck, man? I'm so tired of it!' Some racing fans understand the guy's frustration, but others think Muniz is too soft for motorsports and should just stick to being an actor. While certain social media users softened their words, others just said Muniz just plain 'sucks at racing' and that he 'crashes almost every week.' Feeling the backlash, Muniz took to social media site X to post an apology: 'Sorry to anyone listening to my radio when my right front blew with 20 laps to go. I just want this so bad. Had such a positive race going and sometimes my passion gets the better of me. Just had a monkey on our back for a while.' For what it's worth, while there are plenty of armchair racers telling Muniz to quit, the ones who have been where he is have different things to say. For example, fellow NASCAR racer Cody Dennison replied to Muniz's apology post, telling him, 'You the man. You were fast as hek.' Nathan J Byrd was also encouraging, saying 'You were rolling out there brother!!' We know firsthand that especially on the internet everyone is a critic, or at least it feels that way sometimes. Just because you struggle doesn't mean you should give up, but instead that's part of the process. Hopefully Muniz has a better race this weekend! Image via frankiemuniz4/Instagram
