HAPPY BIRTHDAY AJ!

Even more than usual, AJ Allmendinger will be in a celebratory mood today as he celebrates a birthday with friends, family, and of course, some of the guys from the shop. The plan is for AJ to hit the race shop and then later on head out for dinner with wife Lynne and some close friends to celebrate another very fast year.

UPDATE: Those following the twitter wire at @AJDinger will know this already…AJ is still working on that "getting out of the house to say hi to the guys at the shop" thing as some challenging weather has made even getting out of the driveway a pretty bad idea. Hopefully things will clear up for him to head out this afternoon!
