Jimmie Lewallen (August 22, 1919 – October 16, 1995) was an American stock car racing driver from High Point, North Carolina, United States.

He switched to racing cars in the late 1930s when he delivered illegal moonshine to other parts of North Carolina.

Bill France offered him a chance to "buy into NASCAR" for $500.00 ($7,812.29 when adjusted for inflation) but Lewallen turned him down, saying "it would never amount to anything".

[2] Lewallen won the Modified championship at Bowman Gray Stadium in 1950 and would later drive a second car for Petty Enterprises in 1953 at West Palm Beach Speedway.

[1] Lewallen, Fred Harb, and Bill Blair Sr. are the subject of the upcoming independent movie Red Dirt Rising, which is based on the book "Red Dirt Tracks: The Forgotten Heroes of Early Stockcar Racing" by Gail Cauble Gurley.
