In my book he and Big are at the very top of the heap...
I go to Indy every year; but 2010 will always stand out because of Glidden's return. Concerning his first run, I agree with you 100%; the car made a hard move to the wall and he pulled it back into the groove and never lifted. I also agree that 99.9% of his competitors would have aborted the run; unbelievable describes it perfectly. As you stated, the crowd went nuts; an unforgettable moment!
