Happy birthday, Gary Bettenhausen! They say life's full of twists and turns—luckily, you're a master at navigating both. With 21 trips around the legendary Indy oval under your belt, it seems nobody knows their way better around Indianapolis than you do; folks still scratch their heads wondering if you secretly brought GPS to those Sprint car championships in '67 and '71.Today we toast a legend whose drive never slowed down—to someone who made each racing lap as thrilling as finding spare change beneath couch cushions. Wishing you another championship year filled with laughter—and hopefully fewer tire changes!
