As new photos of Jack Roush's jet crash were published Monday, the team announced that Roush has been upgraded to fair condition as he recovers from facial injuries suffered in the accident last Tuesday at the Oshkosh, Wis., airport.

The team said the 68-year-old Roush, co-owner of Roush Fenway Racing in NASCAR, will continue to be treated at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn. "There has been no timetable set for his release from the hospital," said a statement posted on the Roush Fenway website.

As fate would have it, at Pocono Raceway on Sunday, Roush Fenway driver Greg Biffle won the first race Roush has missed in years, ending a long winless slump for both Roush Fenway and Ford.

In a statement released by the team, Roush was quoted as saying, "It's a proud day for Ford, Greg Biffle, Greg Erwin, 3M, the Pit Bulls, and all of the wonderful sponsors who have stood by us these last few months.
