“I don’t feel there was anything I could have done there.”
Frankie recently announced he has signed with Red Bull Racing teams for the 2025 NASCAR season.
He began his racing career in 2006 and had been racing part-time since.
He previously told People Magazine about his descion to go full time: “I don’t want to say it’s a long time coming, but this has been a dream of mine for forever.”
“The kid from Malcolm in the Middle is racing in NASCAR. You know what I mean? And that’s what people say, but I am. I did it.”
“I don’t want to just have made it to NASCAR — I want, when people think of the truck series, they think of NASCAR that they think of, oh, ‘I want to watch Frankie. He’s competitive. He’s this,’ So I’m doing everything I can.”
