Jack Ingram is a former NASCAR Busch Series race car driver and champion. Nicknamed the "Iron Man"^[1], during eight seasons in the Busch Series, he won 31 races and 5 poles, as well as the 1982 and 1985 championships. Unlike most younger competitors, Ingram won his 31 races between the age of 45 and age 50.^[1] During most of his time in the series he drove the Skoal Bandit car (1984 to 1991).^[2][3] Throughout his Busch Series career he almost always raced in the #11 car.^[2]

He is still racing and not retired.^[1] At age 70, he is currently competing in the Late Model Sportsman Division at Greenville-Pickens Speedway in Greenville, South Carolina.^{[citation needed]}

After his NBS retirement in 1991, he held the record for the most wins in the Busch Series, until it was broken by Mark Martin in 1997.^[4] As of 23 August 2007, he is tied with Kevin Harvick for the 2nd most wins in the series.^[1]

Prior to the inauguration of the Busch Series in 1982 Ingram had won three consecutive Late Model Sportsman Championships in 1972,1973 and 1974.

In 2007, Ingram was inducted into the International Motorsports Hall of Fame.^[4]
