Let's make this birthday one to remember.

61 years old (Born on June 27, 1963)

Happy Birthday, Johnny Benson Jr.! From speeding into NASCAR history as the 1996 Winston Cup Rookie of the Year to clinching championships in both the Busch Series and Craftsman Truck Series, you've always known how to shift gears with style. Your racing career has been faster than a pit crew on caffeine!

Here's hoping your birthday celebration is smoother than your best victory lap and more exciting than that final turn at Rockingham Speedway. May you continue cruising through life with fewer caution flags and plenty of checkered-flag moments ahead. Keep it fast, keep it fun—just like always!
