    Raymont Willis, 42, disappeared from his home on Johnson Hill Road on July 4, 2020. His disappearance is connected to Koby Roush — who disappeared the following day and was also said to have been fed to pigs — through a man who overdosed two weeks later, Luke Farmer. NBC4 obtained a report by the Ross County Sheriff’s Office that showed that Farmer was wanted for questioning on July 20, 2020, in the disappearance and possible murder of two people in Pike County. One person named in that document was Roush, the other was referred to as “Willis.” Neither Willis’...

    rint This Article >> Jack Roush’s teams had a remarkable run in the Rolex 24 At Daytona, winning the leading GT class nine consecutive times from 1985 through 1993. Roush sat out the 1994 Rolex 24, concentrating on his burgeoning NASCAR Sprint Cup Series operation that took him out of sports car competition. But for 1995, he was called out for an encore – a challenge that Roush found too enticing to pass up. To celebrate Paul Newman’s 70th birthday, Paramount Pictures presented the veteran with a sponsored ride in the Rolex 24 – a Roush-prepared Ford Mustang. Joining Newman...

    RICHMOND — Virginia Republicans will reject Gov. Terry McAuliffe’s pick for the state’s newest Supreme Court justice and install their own choice, igniting a political firestorm that will come to a head when lawmakers return to Richmond in two weeks. McAuliffe’s nominee, Fairfax Circuit Court Judge Jane Marum Roush, has already been sworn in, meaning Republicans will take the rare step of unseating a justice after she has taken the bench. Leaders of the GOP-controlled General Assembly announced they plan to elect Virginia Court of Appeals Judge Rossie D. Alston, Jr., who previously served on the Prince William County circuit...

    NASCAR racing legend Jack Roush appears to blame air traffic controllers working EAA AirVenture in Oshkosh for the events that led to the crash landing of his Beech Premier jet on July 27. "The reality of it -- on a trip arrival into Oshkosh, Wisc., I was put in conflict with the flight plan of another airplane close to the ground, and I was unable to address the conflict and keep the airplane flying. I ground-looped the airplane..." Roush told the car racing publication Motorsports. Tower recordings do seem to suggest a clipped discussion between two controllers in which one...

    TALLADEGA, Ala. - There was a time when Mark Martin could not envision himself racing at NASCAR’s top level as he approached 50. But time has a way of changing perspective. Now the stock car star finds he is not yet ready to walk away at age 47. So instead of retiring from the Cup series and racing for fun in a lower division - as he has talked about for years - Martin said Friday he will leave longtime employer Roush Racing after this season to drive a limited Cup schedule for MB2 Motorsports in 2007. “I was 39...
