Let's make this birthday one to remember.

36 years old (Born on June 20, 1988)

Happy Birthday, Courtney! You're still accelerating faster than most of us can blink. From your epic victory at the 2009 NHRA Northwest Nationals to clinching the Top Alcohol Championship that same year, you've always known how to leave everyone else in your tire smoke. Honestly, candles on your cake probably ignite slower than you do off the starting line!

Here's hoping this birthday is as thrilling as a Funny Car run—minus the parachute deployment at the end. Keep racing through life with style and speed; just remember, age is only a number—but reaction times are forever!
