Let's make this birthday one to remember.

45 years old (Born on June 15, 1980)

Happy Birthday, Willie! Another lap around the sun completed faster than your best laps on track. From roaring engines to rookie glory as 2007 Craftsman Truck Series Rookie of the Year, you've always known how to keep life exciting and full throttle.

Here's hoping this year brings you even more checkered flags—both literally and figuratively—and fewer pit stops along life's journey. May every turn ahead be smooth sailing (or racing), filled with laughter, joy, and plenty of horsepower underfoot. Keep making us proud; you're truly one-of-a-kind!

Enjoy your special day—you've earned it in victory lane style!
