We hear a lot of talk these days about concussions in football but now that medical condition has affected NASCAR. According to Hendrick Motorsports Dale Earnhardt Junior will miss the next two races in the Chase For the Cup Series because of a concussion he suffered during last Sunday's 25-car pileup at Talladega. This isn't Junior's first brush with a concussion.
Some people say it wouldn't be Talladega without a spectacular crash and they weren't disappointed Sunday as a huge 25-car pileup-- including a Tony Stewart upside down flip-- marred the Good Sam Roadside Assistance 500 won, by the way, by Matt Kenseth. The fourth race in NASCAR's "Chase For the Sprint Cup" was rife with the usual Talledega controversy most vocally expressed by Dale Earnhardt Junior.
I'll be the first to admit, I'm not much of a NASCAR fan. It's on at our house every weekend while my husband falls asleep. He does wake up for the crashes though. I just can't sit and watch cars go round and round and round. Th
