Jesse Lee "Arkie" Shibley (September 21, 1915 – September 7, 1975),[1] was an American country singer who recorded the original version of "Hot Rod Race" in 1950. The record was important because "it introduced automobile racing into popular music and underscored the car's relevance to American culture, particularly youth culture."[2]
