You're all sick bastards

As it turns out, most of the people who access the lowly blog known as Ridebuyer are looking for gay porn. No, seriously.

Awhile back Ridebuyer had a rather humorous post about Frankie Muniz and his exploits as a racing driver in the Atlantic Series. There was even a photograph of the Malcolm in the Middle-star. Said photo was (like all of the photos on this site) shamelessly lifted from a Google picture such and copied for our enjoyment. Muniz was scantly-clad, and our editors (me) were quite sure it was a photo shopped-bogus pic.

Anyway, a brief look at the 'referring URL" section of Ridebuyer's Sitemeter account yielded some funny results. About 1/3 of all of the hits to this site came from the following Google search terms: Frankie+Muniz+nude or some derivative of those terms. No shit. I guess we should pick up more Muniz stories.

Hey, we'll take the hits as they come. Sorry to disappoint those folks looking to jerk it to Malcolm... But, since you are here... Check things out, maybe you like motor racing and didn't even know it. -ed.

Malcolm in the back

Ridebuyer's new favorite actor-turned racing driver Frankie Muniz turned in the 14th quickest time (of 20 cars) in the Atlantic Series' open test this week at Laguna Seca. Full results are here.

Muniz will run the entire Atlantic season with PCM, although their schedule is filled with question marks since the series was supposed to run jointly with Champ Car at events that have been cancelled since the IRL's coup of Champ Car. But regardless, wherever the Atlantic Series races, Muniz will be there.

Muniz joins the illustrious list of Hollywood talent to venture into the world of professional racing. Here is the Ridebuyer-abridged list of actors who have all turned a wheel in anger.

"A-List" celebrities who have donned the helmet include: James Dean, James Garner, Paul Newman and perhaps most famously Steve McQueen.

"B-Listers" include: Patrick Dempsey, Jason Priestley and Craig T. Nelson (Dauber was occasionally his tire-changer).

"C-Listers" include: our man Frankie, Lorenzo Lamas (for those glorious two-months when he ran S2000), and Danny Bonaduce*

*To Ridebuyer's knowledge he has never driven a racing car, nor shown any interest, but we will include him regardless.
