Not being in aviation, is there a reason Jack and his passenger were not interviewed for the Preliminary NTSB Report, or is it SOP to not include the participants comments on the incident until the final report, legal or otherwise ?

Appears the passenger was not injured, or there's no report of injuries, and Jack was available as he participated in all the NASCAR Race Team conference calls except one while in the hospital, as reported by his Race Team in interviews.
