Muniz, 40, was at the Florida track for a special event on Wednesday. He was set to take part in Ford's Race to Honor Veterans Day Classic, an exhibition race featuring 12 drivers competing in Mustang Dark Horse Type R's featuring liveries representing the branches of the United States military.
Muniz was part of Team Air Force, along with Team Penske's Austin Cindric. The other teams represented the Marines, Army, Navy, Coast Guard, and Space Force.
"I am absolutely honored to be a part of this event," Muniz told media members on Oct. 27 when asked about the race. "We have such an amazing community that supports Ford Racing, and it means so much that Ford is bringing this important tribute to our fans.
"Growing up with a father and a grandfather who served, my grandfather was in the Navy, and my dad served in both the Navy and the Air Force. Some of my favorite memories as a kid were visiting my dad on base. It always made me so, so proud. That's why I'm excited to be involved with Ford's Proud to Honor Veterans Day Classic and to be racing in it."
The Proud to Honor Veterans Day Classic takes place at 8 p.m. ET on Wednesday, and it remains unclear if Muniz will be cleared to compete alongside other members of the Ford Racing lineup. USA Network and the free Fandango streaming service will provide coverage of the race.
