Interview: KB Racing’s Dallas Glenn
We are happy to report that newly-minted KB Racing Pro Stock driver Dallas Glenn earned his first event win at the NHRA Four-Wide 
Nationals in Charlotte, North Carolina this past April. Glenn piloted the RAD Torque Systems and Silver State Refrigeration-sponsored Chevrolet Camaro on a 6.540-second, 209.88 MPH pass that was good enough to take the win over Mason McGaha, Fernando Cuadra Jr., and Troy Coughlin Jr. in the final round.
Glenn has spent the last several years handling back-end duties for Jason Line’s Pro Stock team. With Line’s retirement from driving duties at the end of the 2020 season, Glenn saw his opportunity to get a Pro Stock ride. He’ll be competing in four NHRA national events this year.
Jason Line is sure proud of his former crew member, too.
“I just want to say, ‘I told you so,’ he said with a chuckle. “Dallas is a great guy and a great driver, and I’m super excited for him as he gets further into his Pro Stock career. He worked hard for me, and he’ll continue to work hard and make the most of the opportunity.”
Summit Racing’s Will Schertz sat down with Glenn earlier this year to talk about his new dream job and the journey he’s taken to get there.
