Though his father didn't approve of this, Glenn talked his mother to sign the release form to race modified stock cars. Roberts raced the modifieds, until the joined the famed Holman-Moody team in 1956. He raced to success, and soon his winsome smile, and crewcut became the most reconized face on the NASCAR circut.
