While Glenn\u2019s primary focus remains on defending his Pro Stock championship, the opportunity to step into one of drag racing\u2019s quickest classes presented itself late last season.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJim and I talked about it near the end of the season last year,\u201d Glenn said. \u201cI asked him if he was going to be racing at the Winter Series, and he said he\u2019d really like to put me in one of his cars to go down there and work on some combos. He really wanted me to get a chance to drive a Pro Mod at least once, so we just went from there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The weekend also ties into longer-term plans surrounding KB Titan Racing\u2019s highly-anticipated move into Pro Mod competition in 2026 and beyond. In the short-term, however, the focus is firmly on Bradenton and giving Glenn some seat time in a screw-blown Pro Mod.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know they\u2019re still getting the whole KB Titan Pro Mod thing established,\u201d said Glenn. \u201cJim was thinking that this probably couldn\u2019t hurt \u2013 throw me in there, bring some more attention to it, work on the combo, and let people see that we have something to offer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Glenn will arrive at the U.S. Street Nationals having tested recently at Bradenton Motorsports Park. Despite weather limiting his on-track time, the early results were encouraging. After Whiteley spent multiple days testing earlier in the week, Glenn climbed into the Corvette late in the test session and quickly posted competitive numbers. On just his fourth run, Glenn delivered a 3.588-second pass at 209.88 mph.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe air was really good, and Jim had tested Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday,\u201d Glenn said. \u201cSo when I got in it, I didn\u2019t have to worry about trying to get the car dialed in at the same time. I could just focus on learning how to drive. The car\u2019s looking great and I felt pretty comfortable in it after four runs.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/dragillustrated.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Glenn-Whiteley-Corvette_Robert-Richard-photo.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-91259\"><\/figure>\n<p>Transitioning from an NHRA Pro Stock car to a screw-blown Pro Mod might represent a significant shift in both speed and driving style, but Glenn acknowledged the learning curve has been manageable \u2013 and perhaps, contrary to what some might think, simpler.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith the Pro Stock car, you\u2019re shifting four times before the eighth-mile, staging with the clutch, and there\u2019s just so much more going on inside the car,\u201d said Glenn. \u201cThe Pro Mod gets up to about the same speed in half the distance and a couple seconds less, but you really only have to let go of the button and focus on driving. I feel like it came to me pretty quick.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While Glenn has not ruled out future Pro Mod appearances, he emphasized that his commitment remains with Pro Stock and defending his championship.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPro Stock is still where my heart is, but I\u2019m definitely not going to rule anything out,\u201d Glenn said. \u201cIf Jim wants to go somewhere and race on an off weekend and he tells me to jump in and I don\u2019t have anything going on, I\u2019ll happily go jump in. It\u2019s a really fast Pro Mod, and they are a lot of fun to drive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The DI Winter Series routinely attracts one of the deepest Pro Mod fields of the year, with the recent Snowbird Outlaw Nationals presented by Motion Raceworks seeing 80 cars attempting to qualify for the 32-car field. Glenn is realistic about the challenge of simply getting in the show, but also confident in both his driving abilities \u2013 he\u2019s widely known in Pro Stock as \u201cDouble-O Dallas\u201d for his exceptional reaction times \u2013 and the capability of tuners Rickie Smith and Brandon Snider.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know how difficult it\u2019s going to be just to qualify because there\u2019s a ton of really high-quality cars,\u201d said Glenn. \u201cBut I 100% believe the car is fast enough to qualify, and I\u2019ll be a little bit disappointed if I don\u2019t, because I know how good the car is. What happens from there is a bonus, but I\u2019m pretty confident. If I can get qualified, I\u2019m definitely going to be trying to live up to the nickname. I think we\u2019re going to have a lot of fun.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"post-modified-info\">This story was originally published on January 19, 2026. <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dragillustrated.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/DI_flat_red-e1711481551475.png\" width=\"20px\" alt=\"Drag Illustrated\"><\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/dragillustrated.com\/reigning-nhra-pro-stock-champion-dallas-glenn-set-to-make-pro-mod-debut-at-u-s-street-nationals\/\">Reigning NHRA Pro Stock Champion Dallas Glenn Set to Make Pro Mod Debut at U.S. Street Nationals<\/a> first appeared on <a href=\"https:\/\/dragillustrated.com\/\">Drag Illustrated<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reigning NHRA Pro Stock world champion Dallas Glenn will add a new chapter to his racing r\u00e9sum\u00e9 this weekend, making his Pro Modified debut at the U.S. Street Nationals presented by M&amp;M Transmission, the second of three races in the Drag Illustrated Winter Series presented by J&amp;A Service.
