NASCAR owner hurt in plane crash


Jack Roush is helped out of his wrecked plane after it broke in half on landing at the Oshkosh Air Show Tuesday.


Jack Roush crashed his plane at an Oshkosh, Wisconsin, airportTuesday night, the aircraft “cartwheeled” an undetermined number of times and ended up facing the opposite direction, National Transportation Safety Board spokesman Peter Knudson said Wednesday.
Knudson said upon landing, the Beechcraft Premier jet, registered to Roush Fenway Racing LLC, rolled “hard to the right,” then its right wing dropped “way down” and struck a grass strip, and the plane flipped over at least once. The jet ended up facing north, though it had flown in facing south, Knudson said.
