Jim Ingram is a former NASCAR driver from Cheraw, SC. He competed in the Mason-Dixon 500, Race Number 12 of the Winston Cup Grand National Series in 1980.

Ingram raced for his own team at Dover; his daughter, Lynn Ingram, was his crew chief, and his only other crew member was the late Willie Cassidy of Cheraw, SC. Starting 33rd in the thirty-four car field, Ingram completed all but sixty-three laps. That left Ingram in the 15th position, a respectable debut. Earlier in the 1980 season, he had attempted to qualify at Rockingham and Darlington; he again went to Rockingham for the fall race, running fast enough in practice to have qualified, but during a practice lap, his front tire blew, putting the car into the first sect

abstract	Jim Ingram is a former NASCAR driver from Cheraw, SC. He competed in the Mason-Dixon 500, Race Number 12 of the Winston Cup Grand National Series in 1980. (This was the Sunday race; the Series names have changed since then.) Ingram raced for his own team at Dover; his daughter, Lynn Ingram, was his crew chief, and his only other crew member was the late Willie Cassidy of Cheraw, SC. Starting 33rd in the thirty-four car field, Ingram completed all but sixty-three laps. That left Ingram in the 15th position, a respectable debut. Earlier in the 1980 season, he had attempted to qualify at Rockingham and Darlington; he again went to Rockingham for the fall race, running fast enough in practice to have qualified, but during a practice lap, his front tire blew, putting the car into the first section of concrete retaining wall in the second turn. The car slid and rode the inside guard rail to the third turn, ending Ingram's bid not only for a position in that race but also his resurrected racing career. Ingram was 52 when he raced in 1980; his first racing experience had come much earlier, in the late 1940s and 1950s, when he competed in NASCAR races in Columbia, SC; Upper Marlboro Speedway near Baltimore, MD; and other tracks and was a consistent winner. He also ran in the second Southern 500 in Darlington, SC, but did not complete the race, as his car wrecked due to a flat-spotted tire that put him into the wall - uncannily similar to the wreck during practice at Rockingham that ended his 1980 season. Ingram had previously worked as company pilot for Holman-Moody of Charlotte, the firm that built engines for all Ford racers prior to other types of sponsorships. He also owned and operated a popular quarter-mile dirt track near Cheraw and later lengthened the track to 3/8 mile and paved it.Stats
