Webb Jay (June 22, 1870 – June 4, 1952) was an American racing driver.[1] Jay participated in the inaugural AAA Championship car season in 1905. Competing for the White Motor Company in a steam-powered vehicle known as "Whistling Billy," Jay performed strongly, setting the world record time for one mile at Morris Park Racecourse, on July 4, 1905.[2] Later that season, he suffered a career ending injury, after initially being reported dead.[3]
