Let's make this birthday one to remember.

47 years old (Born on July 12, 1977)

Happy Birthday, Eric Jones! You've been racing since 1998—back when gas was cheaper and hairstyles were questionable. From your thrilling victories at Daytona to that unforgettable Southern 500 win in Darlington, you've shown us all how it's done behind the wheel.

Here's hoping this year brings you more checkered flags than caution laps, fewer pit stops for cake (though we won't judge), and plenty of horsepower under the hood. Keep burning rubber and making NASCAR history—you've still got miles ahead on life's speedway. Cheers to another lap around the sun filled with laughter, success, and minimal tire wear!
