Carroll Shelby

Rodcast Episode #16 // Carroll Shelby is easily one of the most iconic and well-known figures in the history of American auto racing, but where did he come from and how did his career get started?

Well, tune in and listen to this truly rare “lost interview” with Shelby from 1956 when he was still building his reputation as a dependable and competitive sportscar racer …  long before winning LeMans as a driver and then, later, as a manufacturer. Considered by a noted Shelby historian to be the earliest known audio recording of Shelby being interviewed, the American Hot Rod Foundation is pleased to have been tasked with its preservation and to now be able to share this with auto racing historians and fans of the “world’s fastest chicken farmer”!
