Still one of the most-popular drivers in Australia, Glenn has spent time racing a historic Ford Capri since retiring from fulltime V8 Supercar racing, and will tackle the best local Group N Historic Touring Car drivers next weekend. The weekend is the final round of the 2008 Supertruck Nationals. John Falk leads the series by 10 points over SA driver Bob Middleton, who
is looking for his fourth-consecutive title. Falk’s young son Ben leads the co-driver standings, meaning a father and son could win their respective classes. Commodore Cup features modified V8 Holden Commodores and has played a role in the development of current V8 Supercar drivers like Lee Holdsworth and Paul Dumbrell. They will have a unique, endurance race format, with two, 45-minute races and two drivers per car. V8 Supercar young gun Lee
