CHARLOTTE -- A bloodied Jack Roush walked out of his Beechcraft Premier jet after crashing it in Oshkosh, Wisconsin Tuesday night.

An early investigation by the NTSB reveals Roush banked the plane right on approach to runway 18 at Wittman Regional Airport. The plane broke apart when the right wing clipped the ground. This is the second serious plane crash for Jack Roush.

"I'm surprised to hear that he crashed again," said NASCAR fan Ken Greenwood. "We wish him well."

At the Roush Fenway Racing Museum there is concern and disbelief. "Lucky, this is the second time this happened to him," said NASCAR fan Tommy Herring. "First time a guy saved his life. Went into the water and got him. The guy has got nine lives. That's all I can say."

Roush was involved in a plane crash in 2002. He was nearly killed in a single engine plane crash. Roush plunged into a lake and was saved by a retired Marine who pulled him unconscious from the sunken plane. In that crash, the NTSB found Roush was flying too low, and failed to see the power lines he collided with.

Wednesday, NASCAR Chairman Brian France issued a statement saying, "On behalf of the NASCAR industry our hearts and prayers go out to Jack Roush. All of us are looking forward to a full and speedy recovery".

Roush left Detroit Tuesday afternoon for Oshkosh. The aviation enthusiast planned to attend a yearly air show in the city. Jack Roush's injuries are not considered life threatening. The NTSB is continuing to investigate the crash.
