Don't look like I'm gonna make it.

I have a little Bob Glidden story to share...when Kenny and I first started racing...the Super Stocker wasn't running as fast as we felt it should. Kenny had looked at everything and couldn't figure it out. In those days I worked for Cam Dynamics and happened to be talking to Bob...just asking questions and looking for suggestions. Well, Bob told me to have Kenny come to his shop...bring the engine and they would figure it out! Kenny when up on the weekend. Bob and he took the engine apart...it was a learning experience.! All work...no lunch...Bob did take a smoke and coffee break...but that was it! Kenny loved it...he's the same doesn't want to stop for anything until what he working on is finished.

On Sunday Bob started some machine work on the engineand Kenny was busy cleaning parts and laying them out...then all of a sudden Kenny realizes that Bob is missing. It sort of getting late in the day and Kenny has to be at work Monday...so, he started looking for Bob. Of all places he found Bob in front of the TV watching Indiana play basketball. Bob's all work and no play...except when it came to his basketball team...he told Kenny to take a seat...nothing was going to happen until after the game...as soon as it was over...they were back to work...they finished everything...loaded Kenny up and he was on the way back to Memphis.

When Kenny tried to pay Bob he would not take any money! This was way before sponsorships...he was funding his on racing then...but he wouldn't take anything. He just wanted to help...he knew that we loved racing and we didn't have much experience but wanted to learn and do our best.

It didn't take Kenny long to get the car back together and back to the race track....boy it was night and day improvement! That car is long gone but the "education" that Kenny got while he was with Bob....as they say was Priceless!

Bob is and always will be a very special person to Kenny and I!

We are planning to be there. This will be the shake down run for my new enclosed trailer.

I plan to be there. Amy, what a great story about Bob Glidden. I appreciate you posting the story. Good luck to you and Kenny. Looks like Bubba is running good this year.

Dennis P Chapman · 03-23-2010, 04:25 PM

That was a good story about Bob Glidden

Now...if we can just keep him from working on it....he left from No Problem going to 4 Wide....talked to him last night..he's in line, #20, just watching NASCAR work with the new wing...good to be retired!

Plan on three from Moneymaker Racing . . .

It's been almost three years since I have been there (haven't had the heart to go back since our dog Homes died there in my arms in our pits at US Nationals 2007). Alex and Tony have been since, but I haven't. I hope I am ready.
