Dallas Glenn, the Pro Stock point leader in the NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series, is navigating the pressure of the championship race by leaning on his love for golf as a way to relax. Glenn, who drives a RAD Torque Systems Camaro for KB Titan Racing, entered the Countdown to the Championship as the No. 1 seed for the second year in a row and currently holds a 31-point lead over Aaron Stanfield at the halfway mark.
Last year, Glenn struggled in the six-race Countdown, finishing sixth in the standings. Determined not to repeat that performance, he’s doing everything he can to maintain his lead in one of the NHRA’s most competitive divisions.
To unwind from the demands of racing, Glenn often turns to activities like golf and bracket racing. He also enjoys spending time with his wife, Sadie, and their seven-pound Pomeranian, Henry. “I like to bracket race some and go golfing… just kind of relax and watch movies with the wife sometimes,” Glenn said.
Golf, in particular, has become a go-to stress reliever for Glenn. With a nine handicap and an average score in the mid-80s, he’s no novice on the course. “I do all right. I can hold my own,” he shared, noting that while he doesn’t practice much, he finds the sport to be a great way to unwind. “I just go out and have a good time and try to stay relaxed,” Glenn explained, appreciating golf’s balance of difficulty and the need to stay calm, a parallel to his approach in Pro Stock racing. “The best races I’ve had in Pro Stock are when I felt the most confidence in my car. I was the most relaxed.”
Glenn has had a successful season so far, winning three races and finishing runner-up in four more. His travels for racing have also allowed him to enjoy playing at some unique golf courses, including Wolf Creek Golf Club in Nevada and the Brickyard Crossing course at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, which features holes both inside and outside the iconic track.
While Glenn enjoys his time on the golf course, his main focus remains on winning his first Pro Stock world championship. “Everybody in the class is so close, and anybody can win on race day,” he said. “It’s going to take four good runs to win.”
