Let's make this birthday one to remember.

79 years old (Born on September 21, 1945)

Happy Birthday, Richard! From spinning wheels and roaring engines back in your racing days to building one of NASCAR’s powerhouse teams—Richard Childress Racing—you’ve always known how to navigate life's curves (literally!). You might've hung up the driving gloves, but you never stopped driving success.

With championships and checkered flags aplenty, you've proven that while some folks slow down with another lap around the sun, you just shift gears into legendary mode. Here's hoping your birthday celebration is smoother than a freshly paved track—and if anyone tries to say you've aged, just remind them you're not old; you're vintage!
