Let's make this birthday one to remember.

55 years old (Born on August 20, 1969)

Happy Birthday, Robert Hight! You're still racing through life faster than your Funny Car down the drag strip. Ever since clinching that unforgettable NHRA championship in 2009 with an impressive 2,547 points—leaving competitors choking on tire smoke—you've been setting records and raising eyebrows (and heart rates) ever since.

Here's to another year of burning rubber and chasing trophies at John Force Racing. May your reaction times stay sharp, may your parachutes always deploy smoothly—and most importantly—may you never run out of fuel when blowing out all those candles! Keep living life a quarter-mile at a time; cheers to many more victories ahead!
