Thomas Henry Gloy (born June 11, 1947 in Lafayette, California)[1] is an American former auto racing driver in the USAC and CART Championship Car series. He raced in the 1977, 1980 and 1984 seasons, with seven combined career starts, including the 1984 Indianapolis 500. He had three top-ten finishes, with a best of fifth at Ontario in 1980. He finished 14th in CART points that year despite only competing in three races, a result of finishing each of them in the top-ten.[2]

In 1979, Gloy won the Formula Atlantic Series Championship. In 1985, he competed in the IROC series as the representative from Sports Car Club of America (SCCA), earned by winning the 1984 Trans-Am Championship.

Gloy co-owned Gloy-Rahal Racing in NASCAR's Craftsman Truck Series with Bobby Rahal from 1997 to 1999.[3] The team often fielded trucks for veterans of the Trans-Am series. Gloy was later president of Blair Racing, which fielded a Dallara-Chevrolet driven by Alex Barron for the IRL IndyCar Series in 2002.
