Frankie Muniz Drops First NASCAR Throwback Scheme

What’s Happening?

Actor turned NASCAR driver Frankie Muniz, and his team, Team Reaume, have released the render for his first-ever NASCAR Throwback paint scheme.

• For his first-ever race at Darlington, Frankie Muniz and Team Reaume will pay tribute to Bill Davis Racing and Dave Blaney, with a throwback to Blaney’s 2000 Amoco No. 93. This is a fitting tribute, as team owner Bill Davis passed away this past fall.
• The team landed on this design after hosting a poll on X, with the Blaney throwback gaining early support from people like Mike Joy, FOX Sports. Other paint schemes in the running included throwbacks to Lennie Pond, Jeff Gordon, and Robert Pressley.
• This year, NASCAR is not officially hosting a throwback weekend at Darlington, following several seasons of fans complaining of diminishing returns from the event. Still, some teams like Team Reaume No. 33 and Alpha Prime Racing’s No. 44 have already confirmed their intent to do so.
• While the Truck Series did not race in last year’s final official throwback weekend, this year’s race marks Muniz’s first start at the track in his short career. During last fall’s race, the now 40-year-old racer was out with an injury, which led to a four-race stretch on the injured list.
