"Passion for speed keeps Roush in NASCAR race," by Chris Jenkins. USA Today, 6 November 2003.

NASCAR team owner Jack Roush is profiled. The colorful risk-taker is described as someone who loves speed "and the mechanical processes that produce speed." The sidebar about his life includes a section on his education, which states that he got a degree in mathematics at Berea College in 1964 and a master's degree in "scientific mathematics" from Eastern Michigan University in 1970.
