Bob Glidden (August 18, 1944 –December 17, 2017) was an American drag racer. He was retired from Pro Stock racing in 1997 and returned in 2010.[1] Glidden retired as the driver with the most wins in National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) history at that time (a feat recently topped by 16 time Funny Car champion John Force), and he is currently the third most successful drag racer of the professional class drivers (sixth when counting sportsman national event winners). Glidden won 85 NHRA National Events. In the Professional classes, he currently is behind Force (141) and Warren Johnson (97). Glidden's ten Pro Stock championships included five in a row beginning in 1985.[3] Among his numerous accomplishments, Glidden won nine straight NHRA national races in 1979 and was the No. 1 qualifier 23 times in a row, including the entire 1987 season. At one point, he won 50 eliminations rounds in a row.
