That's right, the two-time winner of the Rolex 24 At Daytona turned 90 years old. How about that?

No. However, Red Farmer raced a dirt oval last year at 92-ish.

A few years back, Red and I were talking and he saw the phone I had. "Wow, that's an old phone you got there, I got the brand-new iPhone." I just got schooled on technology by a then-80-something. Ouch!

That generation was seemingly built tough.

Man I sure hope I can race a dirt oval when I'm 92-ish.

Happy birthday, Super Tex! Bet he never thought he'd make it to 90, given the era he raced in.

Happy birthday - he's been a fun guy to follow all these years. 

For some reason I can see AJ telling AL....and get a haircut too.
