'Iron Man' racer, NASCAR champion Jack Ingram dies at 84
(AP Photo/File) (BL)CHARLOTTE, N.C. — (AP) — Jack Ingram, a hard-hosed, hot-tempered racer who won five NASCAR championships and more than 300 races, has died, the NASCAR Hall of Fame said Friday. “Jack was an ‘old school racer’ and his work on his own car helped propel him to victory lane hundreds of times. He won two championships when the series was called the Busch Series, including the inaugural 1982 title. “NASCAR has lost a true racer’s racer,” Hall of Fame director Winston Kelley said. Ard beat Ingram in 1983 and 1984, but Ingram won his fifth title in 1985.
