Frankie Muniz made headlines this week by giving up his seat in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series (NCTS) race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, allowing teammate Luke Baldwin to start in the No. 33 truck. The 20-year-old Baldwin, a full-time driver in the Truck Series, was set to start at the very back of the field in 36th place for Saturday's race.
However, Muniz, who is known for his acting career but is now a full-time racer in the Truck Series, chose to sit out the race to give Baldwin the best chance to compete for points. Team owner Josh Reaume praised Muniz for his decision, stating that it shows the kind of teammate and person he is. Baldwin, who has ten previous Truck Series starts, including five this year, thanked Muniz for his selflessness and expressed his commitment to bringing home as many points as possible for the team.
