Grandson charged with stealing from Ingram

Published Jul. 15, 2011 9:24 a.m. ET

The grandson of NASCAR driver Jack Ingram is accused of stealing championship rings and other mementos, then asking Ingram to pay for their return.

The Asheville Citizen-Times reports Buncombe County investigators charged 25-year-old Jackson Layne Ingram on Thursday with breaking and entering and larceny.

Authorities say $5,000 worth of items were taken from Jack Ingram's home June 29, including the diamond ring he won for his 1982 Busch Series championship, a 1985 championship ring, a watch and his wife's high school ring.

A few days later, a caller asked for $1,000 to return the items, but Ingram said no.
