In Their Own Words - Bob Glidden

I love the guy and his hard work ethic and always did.....and the straight forward stuff he always would say.
I can recall thinking how great it was to see him in the Ford commercials they made with the "Have you driven a Ford lately" theme. They often played that commerical during NON auto racing related shows and I thought that was something to see!
I always stopped by his pit area and without a doubt would find them hard at work when many other teams were no where in sight.

I was in the tower at E-Town when he won his last event. E-town about 1995. He beat Yates and really did not have the fastest car but won anyway. He was as happy as can be down on the starting line after the race and Rusty Wallace was also there....Everyone really loved that win that day as the crowd was totally on Bob's side......We got to help him celebrate that win that day and I enjoyed that immensely.....
