NASCAR Sprint Cup team owner Jack Roush remains in serious but stable condition in a Wisconsin hospital Wednesday afternoon, recovering from a crash landing at Wittman Regional Airport in Oshkosh Tuesday night.

According to the Roush Fenway Racing website, Roush is being treated for facial injuries.

Roush’s Raytheon Premier Jet split in half when he crash landed at the airport, where he was scheduled to attend an air show put on by the Experimental Aircraft Association. A passenger on the plane, Roush’s assistant Brenda Stricklin, was treated and released.

“All of us at Ford Motor Company are relieved to know that Jack Roush will make a full recovery from the crash yesterday,” said Jamie Allison, director Ford North America Motorsports, in a statement released by the automaker. “He and his family are in our thoughts and have our best wishes. Jack is an icon in the sport of auto racing, but more importantly, he's family to all of us. We will continue to work very closely with the entire leadership team at RFR and will do everything we can to help support Roush Fenway Racing during this time, as Jack concentrates on his recovery. I know I speak for every employee at Ford when I say that we wish Jack well, and look forward to seeing him back at the track very soon.”

“On behalf of the NASCAR industry our hearts and prayers go out to Jack Roush, the Roush family and Roush Fenway Racing. All of us are looking forward to a full and speedy recovery,” added NASCAR Chairman and CEO Brian France.

Roush survived a 2002 crash of an experimental aircraft in Alabama.
