However, he wasted no time in starting his pursuit of another passion: racing.
So, why did Muniz end up switching lanes?
“I love my past.

I love everything I’ve done,” Muniz said in an interview with theAssociated Press.
“But I don’t remember ever saying I wanted to be an actor.
I wanted to be a garbage man, honestly, and acting took over my life.

This chance in racing was me saying: ‘What do I want to do?
What do I want to accomplish in my life?’
And here I am.

I chose this.”
From then on, he did whatever he could to stay behind the wheel.
Still, he never thought becoming a driver was a feasible possibility (viaNASCAR).
