Elvie Shane‘s current single “County Roads” is about hitting the backroads he grew up driving on – but now he’s going a little faster as the artwork for his debut album Backslider, is featured on Jason Rupert‘s funny car this season.

Elvie shared with the National Hot Rod Association, “The biggest win for me is to do all this successfully enough to support my hot rod habit. Music and cars are a common thread in my life, and you can hear nods to different cars through the entire Backslider record. I can’t wait to see what 300 mph looks like from the starting line.”

Elvie’s album cover has already been taken for a ride – check out this run Jason had in Pomona, California at the Lucas Oil Winternationals…

While a win was not in the cards that day – the fully car did look good.

Elvie Shane’s debut album features 15 tracks including his current single “County Roads” and his number-one hit “My Boy” – which helped Elvie score a New Male Artist Of The Year nomination for this year’s ACM Awards.
