Glotzbach Hits Top As far as Charlie Glotzbach is concerned, there's only one way to drive on a race flat out all the time. That's the way it's always been for the 32-year-old NASCAR veteran. Glotzbach earned the name "Charging Charlie" at Dayto-' na back in 1967 when he was invited to drive a modern Grand National car on a super speedway. Harry Hyde, head mechanic for Insurance's Dodge team, asked Glotzbach to try a 1965 Dodge, the firm's second car. Until then, the fastest the Indiana driver had been was 120 miles per hour on small tracks and in small cars.

This was a chance at the big time and Glotzbach wasn't about to let a chance like this slip through his fingers. He toured the Daytona track at 170 m.p.h. When he climbed from the cockpit he made a believer out of Hyde and many of NASCAR's finest drivers. A few weeks later he finished fourth in the Atlanta 500. He entered nine races that year and finished in the top five three times.

Now, Glotzbach is the No. 1 driver for Nichels Engineering Co. It's not a two-year-old car anymore, but a new Dodge Daytona. i Since he started his career, cars have been getting faster and faster. Glotzbach feels he'll hit the 200 m.p.h.

mark before the season is over. "I think I'll hit 200 before the end of the season," Glotzbach says. "I think the speeds will continue to increase. Maybe not as fast as they have in the past three years since the new rules will reduce the size of the engine in 1971. "But, even at that, I don't think anyone can put a limit on speeds." His record in 1967 got him on the Cotton Owens team.

The team was a natural. Glotzbach presented Owens in his first major championship by winning the Charlotte National 500. In 1969, Glotzbach was clocked at 199.446 m.p.h. in a qualifying run for the first Talladega 500. Glotzbach entered 12 races and finished in the top five five times.

Charlie Glotzbach has come a long way since he started facing in 1959 at a small track in Jeffersonville, Ind. Even then, Glotzbach always flat out.
