In Their Own Words - Bob Glidden

[rick lester]

Hero? No, he is not a hero.......he is a GOD! I have been a huge fan of Bob Glidden since I can remember, Jack Roush too.

Got to see Bob's return to Pro Stock at Indy in 2010...in his very first run he saved a run and put up a decent number on the board where 99.9 % of his competitors would have aborted the run or crashed...it was unbelievable. When he came back up the return road there was probably the most cheering for a racer that I've ever heard. People were standing and yelling...think in Indiana he may be a God. 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!
