NASCAR Hall of Fame driver 'Iron Man' Jack Ingram dead at 84

NASCAR Hall of Fame driver Jack Ingram died this week at age 84. He won 5 championships and over 300 races.

"Jack was a fixture at short tracks across the Southeast most days of the week, racing anywhere and everywhere. He dominated the Late Model Sportsman division like few others," NASCAR chairman Jim France said. "Jack was an ‘old school racer’ and his work on his own car helped propel him to victory lane hundreds of times. Of our current 58 NASCAR Hall of Fame members, he is one of only six that was elected based on his career and contributions in the grassroots level of our sport." Nicknamed the "Iron Man" for his relentless pursuit on the race track, Ingram dominated NASCAR Sportsman competition during the 1970s. He won three consecutive championships from 1972 to 1974 and continued to compete when the series underwent a transformation and became what is now known as the Xfinity Series.
