And the video clip with Jack coming out of the plane with blood all over his face and chest.
Good to see he will be okay. Probably time to stick to managing race teams....

WE don't know what happened yet. Stunt? Hardly.
Could've been:
1. equipment issue, or
2. an ATC issue, or
3. a physiological issue
And I believe it occured in the landing phase versus takeoff.
Whatever happened, they moved Jack to the Mayo Clinic due to his injuries.
He's actually a nice guy, and brings a lot to general aviation. Heal quick Jack!!

A witness interview (for what they're worth, although this is Oshkosh) said he was on a go-around, appeared very slow, wing dropped and aircraft descended to impact.

From a eyewitness.
"I was 100 yards from his crash impact. Myself and my father were walking and talking then we look up and were staring into the nose of the Premier jet in a precarious position from the get go on base.
He looked like he was on a Westerly heading (90 degrees to runway), direct to the touchdown zone (not the numbers) then aircraft turned left in an attempt to line up to Rwy 18 from a westerly heading. Aircraft overshot right of center, attempted to realign over centerline, then over shot to the left of center, corrected and whole way in appeared to be making S-turns trying to capture centerline. Aircraft had high AOA and lots of banking correcting for centerline course . The whole time looked like he was "mushy" on the backside of the power curve. Then he appeared to have stalled the right wing, struck the right wing, then impacted the right main causing him to cartwheel to the right and slammed the whole belly of the aircraft on the ground breaking the structure in two pieces next to the engine inlet lips. Even if he did save the approach and landing, he would have touched further than half the length of the runway!
All this time avoiding a J-3 Cub whom JUST took off and was either given a left heading or was told by tower last second to get out of the way! Not sure....
We never saw any attempt in a go around at any point. Never heard any power application. From myself and my dad, both airline pilots, we were very concerned from the time he was turning base to final. We both saw that he was kicking the rudder and slipping the aircraft in attempt to further get himself over the runway centerline after overshooting. SLIPPING A JET AT LOW SPEED, LOW ALTITUDE, WITH HIGH AOA!
We were CERTAIN we were going to witness a black fire ball upon hearing the BAMM! Thank god we didnt.
And thank god he didnt stall it on a westerly heading, would've taken me, my family and hundreds of lives.
Lots of luck here and fortunate! Glad Pilot and passenger are in a condition to recover.
Also, the engines were still running at idle for several minutes after impact. This fact along with the pilot's bloodied face, it seems the pilot hit his head on impact severely enough to cause him to pass out, hence no engine shutdown until possibly C.F.R. pulled Fire Handles"
It sounds(from above account) like he was imbued with a determination to plant the wheels regardless of what maneuvering might be necessary. A heavy traffic pattern of mixed speed AC could have pressured him to avoid a go-around.
Slipping a swept wing AC should be avoided. Especially low, with a high A of A and with a slow ability to respond to power.

That was Jack Rousch, He's the team/car owner of the Teams of Carl Edwards, Greg Biffle and Matt Kenseth in the cup series, and Carl Edwards and two or three other cars in the Nationwide series, he has two or three trucks in the Craftsman Truck Series and some in Arca, he also sponsors some Drag racing teams and other motorsports teams and Air Racers as well. He's got quite the portfolio.
He also survived another plane crash a few years ago as well. Not only is he a Billionaire, he's a lucky Billionaire!

Sounds like he could afford to hire a competent pilot.
