Many of us aspire to live life to the fullest, but only a fortunate few get to experience everything they desire before their time on Earth comes to an end. This was likely the case for Frankie Muniz’s grandmother, who recently passed away while he was crossing the green flag at a recent race. 

Muniz, who is known for his acting career and now also races in the junior ranks of NASCAR, shared the news of his grandmother’s passing with his fans and followers. In response, the NASCAR community rallied around Muniz and his family, offering their support and prayers during this difficult time.

A message from Frankie Muniz on social media stated, “When my race was finished this evening, I had many missed calls from members of my family. At 4:42 PM, right as we were taking the green flag, my grandmother passed away today. She was the most supportive person of everything I’ve done in my life, and I hope I made her proud.”

Muniz is racing in the ARCA Menards Series and has been putting in respectable performances. At one point he was even leading the standings, although at the moment he stands in fourth place.

Meanwhile, soon after the Agent Cody Banks actor shared the saddening moment over social media, several people across the NASCAR community banded together and helped him through this tough time.
