CONCORD, N.C. -

Less than a day after one of the most well-known men in auto retailing and motorsports and  his wife were involved in a crash landing at the Key West International Airport in Florida, Rick and Linda Hendrick — along with the two pilots also aboard the jet — were back safely in North Carolina on Tuesday, according to a statement from Hendrick Motorsports.

Of the four people on board, the Hendricks had minor injuries, while the two Hendrick Motorsports pilots did not have any. They all were released Tuesday morning from Lower Keys Medical Center.

The Gulfstream G150 jet — which Hendrick Motorsports co-owns with Jimmie Johnson Racing — had braking problems when it landed Monday evening in Key West and ran off the runway, Hendrick officials noted.

Rick Hendrick — the chairman of the Hendrick Automotive Group dealership group and owner of Hendrick Motorsports — sustained a broken rib and clavicle, while Linda Hendrick had minor cuts and bruises.

Upon evaluation, the pilots were found to have no injuries. 

Monday’s crash likely harkened back memories of 2004 for many in the racing and auto sales businesses. That year, all 10 passengers on a Hendrick Motorsports plane — including members of the family — died after the aircraft crashed on the way to a race in Martinsville, Va.
