Let's make this birthday one to remember.

68 years old (Born on March 04, 1957)

Happy Birthday, Rick Mast! You raced your way into NASCAR history with nine thrilling Nationwide Series victories—proving that speed and style can indeed coexist. Your fearless driving kept fans on the edge of their seats (and probably gave a few crew chiefs gray hairs), making every lap unforgettable.

Though you hung up your helmet in 2002 after bravely facing carbon monoxide poisoning, your legacy didn't stop there. Thanks to you, NASCAR redesigned its vehicles for safer racing—a lasting impact that's truly timeless. Here's hoping today brings fewer caution flags and more victory laps around the cake table!
