By Jack Ingram with Barbara Bean

Jack Ingram made history as the first African American driver to compete in NASCAR's top division, the Grand National Series (now known as the Cup Series). His autobiography, Rajo Jack: Drive to Integrate Auto Racing, tells the story of his remarkable journey, from his early days racing on dirt tracks in Alabama to his groundbreaking successes at the national level.

Ingram's path to NASCAR was not easy. He faced racism and discrimination at every turn, from being denied entry to races to being threatened with violence. But he persevered, thanks to his determination, talent, and the support of a few key allies. In 1969, he became the first African American driver to win a major NASCAR race, the Talladega 500. His victory was a major breakthrough for the sport and helped pave the way for other African American drivers to follow in his footsteps.

Rajo Jack is more than just a sports autobiography. It is also a story about the American civil rights movement and the fight for racial equality. Ingram's experiences as a pioneer in auto racing offer a unique perspective on the challenges and triumphs of the era. He shows how sports can be a powerful force for social change, and how one person can make a difference.

Rajo Jack is a must-read for anyone interested in auto racing, civil rights, or American history. It is a powerful and inspiring story that will stay with you long after you finish reading it.
