Frankie Muniz fended in a Ford Mustang to secure his first GT4 America Series Am class victory at Road America, finishing half a second lead over the runner‑up and 17th overall among the multi‑class field.
Road America triumph
Pairing with co‑driver Tyler Stone, Muniz crossed the line with a flawless 1–2 finish for TechSport Racing. Stone’s consistent pace and aggressive yet disciplined overtakes powered the duo to a clean lead, marking the duo’s first win in the series since aligning with the Ford supplier.
Stone ran a disciplined 2–2 system, delivering critical pace and defensive battles to build the gap on loyal GT4 competitors. The Mustang’s dynamic balance and 850‑hp F1‑style powertrain proved decisive on the 4.048‑mile Oval and 10‑lap technical section.
“I’m ecstatic, I’ve had the worst weeks of my life and today I felt joy,” Muniz said post‑race. “The team’s hard work and the Mustang delivery blew me away.”
From sitcom to speedway
The former “Malcolm in the Middle” star is a veteran of the correlation between the J.J. rap groups of his earlier show.
Muniz began racing in the Champ Car Atlantic Series, reaching fourth in a 38‑car field before rising to the stock‑car ladder, tackling the ARCA, NASCAR Craftsman Truck and O’Reilly series.
Recent duties involved backing teammate Luke Baldwin by temporarily covering his own Truck when Baldwin failed to qualify, demonstrating the driver’s intent to keep the momentum in the craft equipment beyond earning personal targets.
Looking ahead
With his return to the “Get Red”) series, Muniz’s two‑class commitment can bring him to finish towards the top of the driver standings, possibly capturing another victory in the next rounds.
Evaluating the new right‑shifting Freedom of the menteste, the sub‑flying points system will create more competition at the close of the season.
