Where Are They Now: Jeff Glass
|
The Duncansville, Pennsylvania, native turned pro in 1983 and by 1985 realized the factories didn’t want him. Glass could have toured the country, busting his hump for paltry purse money and barely breaking even, but he instead decided to find someone who’d give him a paycheck.
After meeting with several different corporations’ marketing teams, Glass finally struck a deal with the brass at Lever Brothers, who wanted Jeff to promote their Surf Laundry Detergent. He showed up at the ‘86 Southwick National with a brightly colored Honda with Surf logos all over it.

Today, Glass still resides in Duncansville, near Pittsburgh, with his wife, Ginny, and two young daughters, Sydney and Sawyer. Although he’s not directly involved in professional motocross, he occasionally pops up on the radar. In the recent past he’s been part of Plano Honda and ran a marketing company called AST, which landed Ricky Carmichael and Jeremy McGrath signature T-shirts in stores such as Wal-Mart. Glass also has business interests in the real-estate industry and owns a company that builds sports fields up and down the East Coast.
