According to his Linked In Profile he's been Vice President of National Event Sales and Marketing for NHRA for over 20+ years.

Has he ever owned a car or had a drivers license?

Larry Hill · 10-31-2017, 02:57 PM

Billy, Billy, Billy, not with the details so soon.

Well in the last 20 years it seems that there has been a "downward" trend in manufacturer participation as well as racer participation not to even mention audience attendance at almost every level. Maybe the Peter Principle is taking effect here and the new marketing person will continue to have the same as results Mr Cromwell has had. IMHO !!!!! FED 387

Great just what we need another accountant type in charge. My question would be how many passes down the strip has he made? How many Divisionals has he entered? Lets hope he can see more that just the numbers.

Clifford has accomplished nothing of note and is promoted to CEO, and Cromwell is promoted to President because his marketing acumen has done what for "event sales"?

Someone please enlighten me.

From press release:

"Glen began his career with NHRA as a division director, and was hands-on in running NHRA’s grassroots racing series in the southwestern United States and Hawaii."

Doesn't anyone remember him in this role?
