Frankie Muniz is out of the hospital and says his Mustang kept him safe in the Daytona wreck
Frankie Muniz has left the hospital after his practice crash at Daytona. He says he is sore but his Mustang protected him.
Frankie Muniz is back home from the hospital. The "Malcolm in the Middle" actor crashed in a scary practice run at Daytona International Speedway.
He has now confirmed that doctors let him go.
Missing the big night
The crash happened while Muniz was getting ready for Ford's "Proud to Honor" event. The show salutes military veterans.
"I am disappointed I won't be able to take part in Ford's Proud to Honor event tonight. I was looking forward to honoring the service of our veterans and racing against these other amazing drivers," he said in a statement.
Sore but OK
Muniz says he is feeling all right. He gave the credit to his car.
"I am a little sore, but my Mustang did its job in protecting me," he said.
He also thanked Ford Racing plus the speedway. He sent thanks to the hospital staff too. He thanked every fan who sent prayers as well.
Instead of racing, he will be watching the tribute event from the sidelines.
