Earnhardt Jr. visits concussion experts: #88-Dale Earnhardt Jr.
met with renowned concussion specialists at the University of Pittsburgh
Medical Center's sports medicine concussion program Tuesday. Earnhardt
was not given medical clearance to participate in this past Saturday's
Sprint Cup race at Charlotte Motor Speedway or this week's race at
Kansas after suffering multiple concussions over the past six weeks. He
was accompanied to Pittsburgh by NASCAR primary physician Dr. Jerry
Petty as a part of the original rehabilitation plan that was put in
place last week. Earnhardt met with Dr. Michael Collins, the executive
director of the concussion program that helped developed the ImPACT
baseline test used in the IndyCar series and other contact sports.(ESPN)(10-2012)
