I was at Etown when Bob won his last race in Pro Stock. He was not the fastest car that race and won when Yates did not make a good run. The track really was what won the race for Bob. We were all down below the tower and Bob was with Rusty Wallace. Glidden was beyond happy and gracious and friendly to everyone. He never expected to win so it was a surprise. The place went wild when he did win. Obviously the crowd loved it. I used to see him and his family working as hard as anyone sometimes very early in the day. No other Pro guys even there yet and they were. Working in any conditions. Dirt, grass whatever. He always said things little guys could identify with. He was really just one of us like many of the early Pro Stock racers. Nobody worked harder than people like Bob and Frank Iaconio among others. Lee Shepard was a great driver and his head porting skills were also as good as it got back then. It's a shame Pro Stock has faded so badly from what it once was.....
