Let's make this birthday one to remember.

42 years old (Born on November 29, 1982)

Happy Birthday, Ashley Force Hood! The fearless queen of Funny Car racing who didn't just break barriers—she sped right through them at 300 mph. Who else can say they celebrated victory by beating their own dad in the NHRA Summit Southern Nationals? Talk about family bragging rights!

Your legacy isn't only etched on trophies but also burned into racetracks everywhere as a trailblazer and inspiration for aspiring racers worldwide. May your birthday be filled with laughter louder than engines roaring down the strip—and cake sweeter than any finish-line triumph you've tasted.

Keep living life full throttle, Ashley!
