KANSAS
CITY, Kan. -- Dale Earnhardt Jr. has been cleared to race and will
return to action in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series next weekend
at Martinsville, team owner Rick Hendrick confirmed before Sunday's
Hollywood Casino 400 at Kansas Speedway.
"He's
been cleared to race at Martinsville, so we're excited to get him
back," Hendrick said during an interview on pit road after driver
introductions.
Earnhardt
has been out of action since suffering a concussion in a 25-car
last-lap crash Oct. 7 at Talladega, his second concussion
in fewer than six weeks. Suffering from headaches, Earnhardt sought
medical attention Oct. 9 and was sidelined from the No. 88 Chevrolet for
two races by neurologist Dr. Jerry Petty.
Regan Smith substituted for Earnhardt in Cup race at Charlotte and Kansas.
