Jack Roush's recovery recreated

COMBINED DISPATCHES
Jack Roush's brush with death in a light-plane crash last year will be the subject of a Discovery Channel series premiering Friday night.
The hour-long show, "Vital Scan," uses professional actors to re-create scenes and events in which it explores remarkable stories of traumatic injury and miraculous recovery.
Roush, a NASCAR Winston Cup team owner, was critically injured when his twin-engine Air Cam photo plane clipped some power lines and crashed into a pond in Troy, Ala., about 50 miles from Montgomery, on April 19, 2002. Roush, the sole occupant, was rescued from certain drowning by Larry Hicks, a retired Marine sergeant major, who witnessed the accident with his wife, Donna, from their home.
Hicks pulled Roush from the wreckage unconscious and resuscitated him as he clung to the plane with one arm in deep murky water. Roush, whose 60th birthday was that day, was transported to the University of Alabama Hospital in Birmingham suffering from a closed head injury, collapsed lung and fractures to both legs.
Roush not only survived the ordeal, he returned to his team six weeks later for a race at Dover, Del., where he met BrainBox Productions' Travis Gray, a senior producer of "Vital Scan."
Gray vividly remembers meeting Roush, who was walking around the pits with the aid of a cane.
"He was amazingly positive and tough," Gray said. "This is a man who should have been dead. Instead, he was talking to drivers, crews and fans."
Gray immediately knew he wanted to produce a piece on Roush. At the same time, he understood Roush needed to concentrate on business.
"I think he wanted to move on," Gray said. "But he thought he owed it to Hicks to get involved in such a cool story."
Gray used a pond on his parents' farm in Maryland to re-create the crash site. Before filming started, he went flying with Roush in a P-51 fighter plane. The pair took off from the Roush Racing shop at Concord Regional Airport in North Carolina.
CART shares face suspension
INDIANAPOLIS -- Shares of Championship Auto Racing Teams Inc. face removal from the New York Stock Exchange because of the open-wheel racing series' deteriorating financial condition, CART said Monday.
CART is in talks with an investor group that plans to take the series private.
The Indianapolis-based company indicated it had resigned itself to removal from the Big Board, saying it did not intend to submit a plan by an Oct. 14 deadline to comply with requirements needed to return to the exchange.
Spokesman Adam Saal declined to elaborate, citing CART's pending sale to a group called Open Wheel Racing Series LLC.
CART said the NYSE notified it that it had failed to meet criteria for continued listing because its market capitalization has fallen below an average $15 million over the past 30 trading days, and the average closing price of its shares has dropped below $1 during that period.
Shares eventually are expected to switch to over-the-counter trading common for companies suspended from the Big Board.
