Racing Stripes Redux

"Former Malcolm In The Middle star Frankie Muniz has turned his back on acting to concentrate on a career as a professional Champ Car driver."
Careful, Frankie. You don't want to be your generation's Jason Priestley.
"The speed-loving star..."
Always a good phrase to include in Hollywood press releases.
"...is starting from the back of the grid at the upcoming Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach in California, where he'll compete for a win in the Champ Car Atlantic Series. Race spokeswoman Sherry Perez says, 'He's (Muniz) had such success as an actor at such a young age and now it's almost like he's starting over again... as a race car driver.'"
Good job summing up the news item, Sherry.
In fact, he is starting over as a race car driver.
"The child star is sporting a new Mohawk haircut as he attempts to be taken seriously as a member of the Jensen MotorSport team."
I was going to go the snarky route on this one, but then I said, "Hey, what's my first real thought when you say 'driver' and 'mohawk'?"
Yeah. I guess that would work.
