Well, Cunningham has been having some problems qualifying reliably and asked Glidden for some help. They did some 'testing' and, lo and behold, Glidden is driving a Ford Pro Stock this weekend at the US Nationals

:woohoo: :grin: :banana: :grin: :woohoo: :grin: :banana: :grin: :woohoo:

I had to do a double-take when I saw him in qualifying today on ESPN2 :biggrin:
