Drag racing lost two icons over the last year, with the passing of Pro Stock legend
Bob Glidden in December 2017 followed by Funny Car hero Tom “The Mongoose”
McEwen’s passing in June. Drivers like Mike Ruth of the Midwest Nostalgia Pro Stock
Association and Top Fuel pilot Mike Salinas paid tribute to the two legends, while
Lucas Oil Raceway dedicated their historic quarter-mile to their memory.
