Jack Roush was back On Pit Row at Michigan International Speedway Sunday prior to the Carfax 400. He looked thin, but walked briskly down pit lane and participated in the opening ceremonies and the national anthems. Great to see him back.

Carl Edwards will start on the pole at Watkins Glen International Raceway in the Heluva Good! Sour Cream Dips at the Glen.

Edwards finished third at Pocono last week and was quick to congratulate his Roush-Fenway Racing teammate Greg Biffle on The Biff’s Pennsylvania 500 win.

Biffle had finished third the week before that at The Brickyard with Carl seventh.

The Roushies have lagged behind fellow Ford racers Richard Petty Motorsports for most of 2010. And Ford has been sucking hind tit in the 2010 NASCAR manufacturers competition. But maybe the worm is turning.

Poor handling cars have been the Roush guys’ complaint so far this season. If they are tough at the Glen, it might mean they’ve finally caught up with the leaders of the Sprint Cup pack.

More exclusive photos of NASCAR driver Greg Biffle at the Pennsylvania 500

Roush-Fenway Racing’s Greg Biffle gave Jack Roush a great - and surprising to me - get well gift when he won the Sunoco Red Cross Pennsylvania 500 at Pocono Raceway Sunday. Below are some nice shots of the feel good action in victory lane.

Jack Roush is the luckiest man in NASCAR today.

I’m no pilot. But the pictures here - courtesy of TMZ Sports - of the crach of Jack Roush’s jet at Oshkosh, Wisconsin late Tuesday are chilling.

This afternoon, NASCAR chairman Brian France issued this statement.

“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.”

Roush was lucky. And this was The Cat in the Hat’s second plane crash. This quote is from TMZ Sports.

Incredibly, this is the second time Roush has crashed a plane and lived to tell about it … back in 2002, his aircraft ended up in a lake in Alabama, where he was rescued by an ex-Marine who lived close by.

It sounds as though Roush escaped with relatively minor injuries. The Cat may just have nine lives.

Frustrated Matt Kenseth and the 17 Team Look Lost

Lost in Chicagoland. Matt Kenseth didn’t quite say that in his Friday, pre-race interview for the LifeLock.com 400.

His frustration with the 17 car’s performance - it’s slug slow - was the subject. 40th in the second practice. They qualified 34th.

Kenseth conceded that some of Roush-Fenway’s cars seemed fast - here at Chicago and back at Michigan. But not the 17. And not on raceday.

There was hope that when Jimmy Fennig was named crew chief for Kenseth’s car, that some Robby Reiser style chemistry - the good kind - might start to cook.

So far, not so good.

It’s hard to believe that Jack Roush and three of the best drivers in NASCAR - guys who should be winning championships - are so far off, and scrambling for so long.

A year ago next Monday, Matt Kenseth and Drew Blickensderfer were on fire.

Matty and the Blickster were two-for-two in the 2009 Sprint Cup season, including a Daytona 500 win and life was very good. But it got worse.

Wednesday, Roush-Fenway Racing replaced Blickensderfer with veteran box-topper Todd Parrott as the Kenseth’s partner in the Crown Royal no. 17 team.

And “partners” is what Kenseth and Parrott will have to be. The 17 car hasn’t been the same since Robby Reiser was promoted to a supervisory position at Roush-Fenway. Before that move, the Kenseth-Reiser combo was on a level comparable to Jimmie Johnson and Chad Knaus, performance wise. Not all change is good.

But Kenseth is the defending Auto Club 500 champ. The team should have the right settings in the book and Kenseth is historically very good at the big two milers. Maybe Parrott and Matt will party like 1999, when Todd Parrott partnered with Dales Jarrett to win a Cup championship.
