Let's make this birthday one to remember.

28 years old (Born on May 30, 1996)

Happy Birthday, Erik Jones! You're racing through another lap around the sun faster than your best laps at Darlington. Ever since you burst onto NASCAR's scene in 2013, you've been leaving tire marks of success everywhere—from clinching Rookie of the Year honors to that unforgettable Southern 500 victory.

Here's hoping this birthday brings fewer caution flags and more checkered flags—because let's face it, you're not getting older; you're just fine-tuning for even greater speed. Keep making those left turns look easy and celebrating wins like they're going out of style. Cheers to many more podium finishes ahead!
