Although Jack Roush remains in the hospital; he’s definitely in the minds of his friends and drivers.
The co-owner of Roush Fenway Racing suffered facial injuries in a landing accident near Oshkosh, Wisconsin.
To show the team’s support all RFR Fords, racing at the Sprint Cup Race at Pocono, PA and Nationwide Series in Iowa, will sport a “Get Back to the Track, Jack!,” decal on their quarter panels.
Roush’s trademark fedora is depicted on top of the J in Jack’s first name.
Carl Edwards was asked to comment on Jack’s situation. “I haven’t spoken to Jack,” he said. That’s the greatest thing in the world to see him walk out of that airplane. It’s like they say, any landing you can walk away from is a good landing, so we’re just glad he’s okay.
I have flown into Oshkosh a couple of times in my jet and it’s amazing. They get more planes in and out of there than anywhere I’ve ever seen, so it’s very tight quarters and there are a lot of planes stacked up one behind the other, all at varying speeds, so it’s a high-pressure situation for the guys controlling from the ground and for the pilots.”
Greg Biffle had to lean on Edwards for news of his boss. “Carl had a little more information than I had. He actually talked to somebody that was on the ground there. Someone had called him because Carl usually goes to that show, so we’re thankful that he’s (Roush) kind of out of the woods now.
We know that he’s got some surgeries to probably go through and it’s gonna be a little bit of a road to recovery, but we know he’s gonna be all right and back at it,” said Biffle.
The decal will go on sale for fans with proceeds going to Speedway Children’s Charities.
