Let's make this birthday one to remember.

71 years old (Born on September 21, 1953)

Happy Birthday to the legendary Arie Luyendyk—still zipping around life faster than a pace car at Indy! It’s no wonder candles on your cake fear you; with two Indianapolis 500 wins in 1990 and 1997, speed is simply embedded into your DNA.

Legend has it, you're still pocketing speeding tickets daily just for doing chores. But hey, when you've dominated open-wheel racing like you have, who needs brakes anyway? Keep breaking records (and hopefully fewer traffic laws). May this lap around the sun be filled with joy—and fewer pit stops!
