From NASCAR to GT4, a decade‑long pursuit
Muniz has spent twenty years refining his craft, with stints in the Atlantic Championship (2007‑2009), Formula BMW, and the Mazda MX‑5 Cup, before shifting toward NASCAR’s top tiers in 2024. He cites the support of Ford Racing and a season‑long earnest mindset as key to conquering a sport car’s first track at Sonoma and stealing the 2026 GT4 title.

Watching from the pit lane, Tyler Stone thanked his faith and the team for a season where “we started on the podium, took a win at Sonoma, faced struggles, but hit our stride at Road Atlanta.” He praised Ford Racing and TechSport for building “an incredible car” and acknowledged the depth of competition in the AM class.
