Joe Gibbs Racing driver Brent Crews celebrated his 18th birthday on March 30. That means he\u2019s now eligible to compete in NASCAR O\u2019Reilly Auto Parts Series races on ovals longer than 1.25 miles.<\/p>\n
\u201cMe and some of buddies went to a Mexican restaurant,\u201d Crews said. \u201cThe place was called Casa Azteca. All my friends went and my family. It was crazy. When it is your birthday, they have this big TV screen and it shows you and the whole group that you are with, and everyone was dancing.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was pretty cool. We all just hung out. It was a super chill birthday. It was great to have all of my family and my friends there.\u201d<\/p>\n
Asked whether he enjoyed a margarita during the celebration, Crews demurred emphatically.<\/p>\n
\u201cNot at 18,\u201d he said. \u201cMy parents would\u2026 I would not be at the race track this weekend, I promise you that.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Joe Gibbs Racing driver Brent Crews celebrated his 18th birthday on March 30.
