NASCAR Sprint Cup team owner Jack Roush has been transferred to the Mayo Clinic as he continues to recover from injuries sustained in a plane crash Tuesday night.
Roush, owner of Roush Fenway Racing, underwent surgery Tuesday night related to facial injuries sustained in the crash, according to a team release. He remains in serious, but stable, condition. He was injured when the plane he was piloting crash landed at Wittman Regional Airport in Oshkosh, Wisc.
He will continue to undergo treatment for his facial injuries at the Rochester, Minn., clinic, according to the team release.
Roush - an aviation buff who survived another crash in 2002 - was attending the Experimental Aircraft Association's annual AirVenture in Oshkosh, Wis. According to the EAA, a Beechcraft Premier business jet registered to Roush Fenway Racing, LLC was involved in a landing accident at Wittman Regional Airport in Oshkosh around 6:15 p.m. Tuesday.
With Roush at the controls, the plane crashed while attempting to land. Photos from the scene showed serious damage, with the tail section cracked away from the rest of the plane.
It is the second close call in an airplane for Roush, who crashed into a lake in Alabama eight years ago and nearly drowned before being rescued by an ex-Marine who lived nearby.
Despite sustaining serious injuries, Roush continued flying.
After having success in dragsters and sports car racing, Roush - a former Ford engineer and college physics teacher - founded his NASCAR team in 1988.
Known for his trademark Panama-style hat, academic speaking style and love for tinkering with anything mechanical, he won championships in NASCAR's top series with Matt Kenseth in 2003 and Kurt Busch in 2004.
Since 2007, Roush has partnered with the Fenway Sports Group, the sports marketing arm of the Boston Red Sox's parent company.
The team currently fields cars in the Cup series for Kenseth, Carl Edwards, Greg Biffle and David Ragan.
