With the NASCAR Truck Series set to resume this Saturday at North Wilkesboro Speedway, Frankie Muniz had a life update to share with his fans.

Muniz is currently in his first season as a full-time Truck Series driver. Unfortunately, he has really struggled since recording a top-10 finish in the opener at Daytona. As a matter of fact, he hasn't finished inside the top-20 of a race since Feb. 14.

After failing to finish the SpeedyCash.com 250 at Texas Motor Speedway, he admit that he was losing confidence in his abilities to compete in the Truck Series.

"Just right front blew. I just, I cannot, I can’t catch a break," Muniz said, via Frontstretch. "You know what I mean? Let me wreck dudes, let me wreck myself, let me feel like I did something wrong but I – it’s hard to keep coming. And like, it’s not my team, it’s none us, it’s out of our control, and things just keep happening, and it’s really – it’s tough to stay motivated. Honestly, I’ve got so much going on right now, and I’m like, man, give me a win."

We're not sure what the future has in store for Muniz's NASCAR career, but he did reveal that he's done filming his latest TV project.

Muniz agreed to star in a "Malcolm in the Middle" revival for Disney+. On Friday night, he and the rest of the cast wrapped filming the newest season.

"Just wrapped filming the Malcolm in the Middle reboot, and man, I’m still reeling. This experience was straight-up incredible—like stepping back into Malcolm’s wild world but with all the love and chaos cranked to 11. Reuniting with the cast, getting to know some new characters, laughing till it hurt, and making new memories on set felt like a dream I didn’t want to wake up from. It went by so fast, like a blur of perfect moments. I wish it could go on forever," Muniz wrote on X.

"I'm so happy to have gotten the chance to relive being on this show with a greater appreciation of what we were making knowing how many people around the world truly love Malcolm and his family. Another big thing I am taking away from this experience is how much I truly love being an actor. I never officially felt like that label fit me, but now I wear that label proudly and hope to do so much more of it in the future. I am so sad to have to say goodbye to my MITM crew, I love each and everyone of you."

It's possible this will free up Muniz's schedule and allow him to be fully locked in on the Truck Series. At least that's some of his fans think.

We'll see if Muniz can bounce back later this season.
