Which Pro Stock legend won 10 NHRA Pro Stock championships?

Bob Glidden won 10 NHRA Pro Stock championships. His titles came in 1974, 1975, 1978–1980, and 1985–1989, making him one of the defining figures in the class’s history.

Glidden’s dominance was not limited to championships. He recorded 85 NHRA national-event victories, a remarkable total for a category built around highly competitive production-based cars. His five consecutive titles from 1985 through 1989 remain one of Pro Stock’s most impressive championship streaks.

The common mix-up is confusing Glidden’s Pro Stock record with achievements in other NHRA categories. John Force eventually surpassed Glidden’s overall championship record with Funny Car titles, while Warren Johnson became another towering Pro Stock name, but neither is the answer to this specific 10-title question. Glidden’s career also included nine U.S. Nationals victories and a long-running rivalry with other factory-backed stars.
