Billy Glidden will officially make his ADRL debut this weekend during the ADRL Summer Drags at the Knoll Gas Motorsports Park in Martin, Michigan.

Glidden will be competing with the familiar silver Pontiac GTO sponsored by Mickey Thompson Tires and used primarily as a test car for the tire manufacturer. Glidden has run the car in NHRA Pro Stock as well.

He tested the Pontiac earlier this weekend and scored a series of 4.3-second laps with a 4.32 best.

"We went to the ADRL event in Montgomery last year with the new Mustang and made a time run, but it started raining and that was all we got in," Glidden said. "I think if I can go into the 4.30s we can give them a run for the money."

Glidden's next tire test with Mickey Thompson Tires will be in two weeks in Indianapolis.
