Frankie Muniz was rushed to hospital November 11 after crashing his Mustang during a practice-lap at Daytona International Speedway.

Muniz' racing group, Team Reaume, issued a statement to E! News saying that the "Malcolm in the Middle" star "was involved in an incident while practicing for today's Proud to Honor event."

"He was taken to a local medical facility for further evaluation and is awake and alert," they said.

"I am disappointed I won't be able to take part in Ford's Proud to Honor event tonight," Muniz said in a statement shared by Ford Racing.

"I was looking forward to honoring the service of our veterans and racing against these other amazing drivers."

Muniz continued, "I am a little sore, but my Mustang did its job in protecting me."

He closed off his statement by thanking "everyone at Ford Racing, Daytona International Speedway and the staff here at the hospital." (RELATED: Kylie Jenner's Ex-Housekeeper Files Lawsuit Alleging She Was Locked In Closet, Bitten By Dog)
