Frankie Muniz will be driving a truck sponsored by his own TV show in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race this weekend, Team Reaume announced on Tuesday. ‘Malcolm in the Middle: Life’s Still Unfair’ will be the primary sponsor of the No. 33 Ford F-150 at Bristol Motor Speedway on Friday.
The sponsorship was made possible through a collaboration with the streaming service Hulu. On their platform ‘Malcolm in the Middle’ is returning with a four-episode revival that premieres on Friday. Before going full-time in NASCAR, Muniz starred in the original show from 2000 to 2026. Last year he filmed his return to the show that propelled him to fame as a child actor.
“Racing the No. 33 for Team Reaume has been an incredible journey, and tying it to Malcolm in the Middle feels like the perfect full-circle moment,” Muniz said. “Growing up on screen as Malcolm taught me to embrace the chaos and that’s exactly what Bristol delivers! I’m pumped for fans to see this special scheme and check out the revival. Life’s still unfair, but it’s a lot of fun.”
“Frankie’s dual worlds of NASCAR and entertainment make him a unique asset,” added team owner Josh Reaume. “Partnering with Hulu allows us to bring fresh energy to the Truck Series and introduce the revival to our racing audience. We’re proud to showcase this creative tie-in at Bristol and look forward to more cross-promotions ahead.”
Muniz’s No. 33 Team Reaume Ford will compete in the Tennessee Army National Guard 250 at Bristol on Friday. The race starts at 7:30 p.m. ET, broadcast on FS1.
