Glidden Quits Drags

Wed., Feb. 26, 1997

Pro Stock competitor Bob Glidden, the winningest driver in the history of the National Hot Rod Association, announced his retirement to devote time to developing engines for NASCAR Winston Cup stock cars.

Glidden already has had an impact in the 1997 NASCAR Winston Cup series. He was the key reason Geoff Bodine ran so well with a restricted engine at Daytona and an unrestricted engine at Rockingham last weekend, where he qualified fifth and finished eighth.
